Often when Reiki teachers use the term "universal life force" it may give the impression of a higher power or god or source in some religious context. Reiki is not religious, nor does it need any religious belief to practice. It is more like the flow of energy you receive from walking in the forest or by the seaside. htpps://www.reiki-centre.com

Practice this breath awareness meditation for stilling the mind, becoming more curious and grounded and bringing you back into your inner sense of peace and calm.

Why does our Reiki practice fall away often when life gets busy? Why is it so difficult to pull our attention back to the present moment?
