TODAY'S LEARNING
Reiki Self-Healing: 7 Easy Steps For Everyone To Use

The practice of Reiki is an original method of healing developed by Mikao Usui in Japan early in the 20th century. Reiki is a natural healing energy that works on every level, not just the physical, and is understood to promote the body’s regenerative self-healing ability.

Reiki is a safe, gentle, and relaxing healing method that can be learned and used easily by anyone.

Although you can't technically practice Reiki on yourself until after completing Reiki level 1 training, you can use this seven-step Reiki self-healing practice to your benefit at home. As with any tool for transformation, growth happens in consistently showing up for the practice, so I encourage you to commit to a regular practice.

1. Support the body in a sturdy, sustainable posture

I choose a comfortable posture that supports both my body and mind in relaxation before starting my daily self-practice. I usually practice lying down or sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion. For maximum comfort when sitting cross-legged, make sure your hips are higher than your knees. Use bolsters to support your neck and knees if you're lying down. Another option is to sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Try several postures until you find one that is both stimulating and relaxing.

2. Honor your intentions

Now is a great time to salute your choice to show up and practice. Already, you've set up time, remember your routine, and gathered the courage to practice. Though sitting with your racing mind, uncomfortable physical sensations, and loud emotions can be intimidating, know that every day you show up with compassion is a day to celebrate.

3. Meditate

Next, I focus inward on my breath and pay attention to any tense or aching parts of my body. I send my awareness and breath to release. I deliberately lower my shoulders from my ears in order to reveal the core of my heart. I loosen my teeth and relax my face muscles. I keep breathing and mindfully examining my body until I feel fully present.

4. Reiki precepts

When Mikao Usui taught his pupils reiki in 1922, he developed the five reiki precepts, or principles, as a way to provide a framework for dealing with everyday situations.

I like repeating the precepts aloud multiple times in both Japanese and English as part of my ritual to maintain mental and emotional wellness. These principles typically serve as a guide for my relationships, spiritual development, health journey, and entrepreneurial endeavors:

Kyo dake wa: Today only

Ikaru na: Do not anger

Shinpai suna: Do not worry

Kansha shite: Be grateful

Gyo o hageme: Practice diligently

Hito ni shinsetsu ni: Show compassion to yourself and others

5. Call upon your guides

While this step is optional, I welcome the guidance of spirit. I usually recite a short invocation like, "I welcome the presence of my Reiki masters, teachers, healers, and guides," with my hands in the prayer posture. I am open to receiving your positive energy and advice for everyone's best interests. We are grateful for your kindness and light. Permit their intuitive presence to be perceived, sensed, or heard, regardless of how subtle or dramatic it may be.

6. Use hands-on healing

Although one must receive attunements by a Reiki master teacher in order to channel reiki, anyone can channel love and light with the power of their intentions, awareness, breath, and spiritual guides. “We all possess reiki and use it daily without knowing," says Jalpa Dhaduk Reiki master. For instance, a parent will instinctively put their hands on the child's knee and rub it when the child falls and stubs it. The parent is using the Ki (life force) energy unconsciously. The infant is absorbing and drawing in energy, while the parent is unknowingly sending and channeling it.

In the same way, you can start doing hands-on healing without an attunement. However, if you’re interested in intuitively sensing and channeling the reiki energy, I recommend taking a reiki training with attunement.

7. Give thanks

I take a moment here in my practice to give thanks to my guides, the reiki energy, and myself for co-creating in the process of reiki self-healing. I'm grateful for the path that led me to learn reiki. I gently release the practice, trusting that the life energy has been balanced for the highest alignment of my mind, body, and soul.

It is possible to practice self-healing even if you are not attuned to reiki energy, as it is constantly present within and accessible to us. Your reiki self-healing journey can start with a comfortable posture, meditation, reciting the reiki precepts, and hands-on healing. All it takes is some courage and the willingness to show up for your evolution.
