The ability to give ourselves an energy healing treatment is one of my favorite benefits of learning Reiki. One of the biggest obstacles Reiki practitioners face when it comes to doing self Reiki is the lack of time so they go without. We don’t always have the ability to give ourselves a full 45-60 minute treatment. The good news is that we don’t have to! A few minutes of Reiki is better than zero minutes of Reiki!
“But Mimi, between my job, family, and other commitments I just can’t carve out ANY time for myself.”
Yes. I know. Let me share a few easy tricks that will allow you to enjoy the benefits of the healing energy that is flowing through you.
✨My absolute number one go to for self Reiki is before I fall asleep. It is practically effortless. I like to place one hand on my heart chakra and the other on my solar plexus or sacral chakra and let the Reiki flow. If you are level 2 you can invoke the symbols. If you are level one simply say, “Reiki on.” Not only will you receive a beautiful dose of healing energy, you may find the quality of your sleep is improved!
✨My second favorite way to do self Reiki is when I wake up. This is a great way to start your day. You can also incorporate intention setting if you so desire.
✨You can also enjoy self Reiki while you read, watch TV, or even while waiting in line! Just place a hand somewhere on your body and let Reiki flow. If you are in a situation where placing a hand on your body might be awkward no worries! Simply activate Reiki and envision it flowing into the top of your head and moving throughout your body.
