The inward looking intention is the first step on the spiritual journey, using Reiki as a means for self-observation and mindfulness is the aim of our self-treatment.

What if you can't feel any sensations when you do your Reiki self-treatment? I give a few tips as to how to deepen your connection with yourself, your Reiki treatment, and your inner awareness.

The great thing with Reiki is that it works even when we are asleep, or watching TV, or commuting to work on the bus. Reiki is an automatic flow through your hands and the body then draws on this energy in an intuitive way to where it is needed.

Q: Sometimes when I do Reiki I can hardly keep my hands on my body it feels so uncomfortable, it’s like I want to throw my hands off and stop immediately – I can barely make it through 20 minutes.
