The Aim of your Reiki Self-treatment

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.

Feeling Sensations During Reiki 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.

Video Collection: Why is Reiki not Working?

Thinking Reiki is some kind of ‘magic’ pill that will solve our problems is a misunderstanding of Reiki is. It is inert, Universal energy – not a higher power! Solving your problems and finding peace and balance in your life is an inside job, and Reiki helps you do this through self-Reiki and coming into your own centre.

The Importance of Self-Reiki

Like a broken record, I have been known to drone on and on about the importance of self-treatments in Reiki, ‘You can’t help others unless you help yourself first’, ‘if your energy is low, you can’t heal others’ blah blah as people’s eyes glaze over and doggy nodding begins its automatic response. Luckily I’ve been vindicated with a recent question – answer – result from the lovely Angela…thank you! Angela did my Reiki 1 and 2 workshops many months ago and her young sons hav

Reiki is making my mood and behaviour worse

“My mood & behaviour has always been normal. However, towards the 3rd of 4th week after daily practice of Reiki, I started to have disturbed sleeping patterns where I will wake up in the middle of the night and am not able to get back to sleep until early morning. Having not been able to sleep well, the mood swings kick in. I have headaches and am frustrated easily. And this week, there was a change in my eating habits. I am very hungry and crave sweet food (My appetite has a

Why do some people get better results with Reiki than others?

Once you begin to ‘fill yourself up’ with Reiki energy you will begin to heal those parts of yourself that require healing – but this is naturally different for each person as we all have unique imbalances and life experiences. Your self-healing abilities are potentially the same as anyone else’s – the only difference in results is the discipline of your self-treatment, and also your openness/ripeness for change. For example, if you have very poor eating habits and you apply

I keep falling asleep when I do my Reiki, is that OK?

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. This means you do not need to be consciously thinking about it, or even conscious at all! We do recommend you try to stay awake and do a conscious practice, but this is not because of the Reiki or anything to do with its effectivene

Why are some Reiki self-treats so uncomfortable?

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. Other times I can lie through the entire hour and feel so deep, calm and relaxed. What am I doing wrong? When you feel like this, you are doing nothing wrong! It very much depends on what the body is processing and what you are going through at any particular time. Sometimes when

Take care when mixing Reiki with other modalities

We are blessed with Reiki in that there are no contraindications, no way to imbalance our clients, no diagnosis necessary or recommended. When we do Reiki for others our job is to be open, loving, and hold space for the Reiki to flow and for the client to receive as much as they want. In this respect Reiki is a very safe, balancing technique that we never have to worry about outcomes or whether or not we are doing the right thing. This changes if we begin to mix Reiki with

When Others Don’t Like Reiki

It can be tough when other people don’t approve of Reiki, or have a negative experience with a healing or teaching we have given them. It can create fear in us that we are doing something wrong, but often its actually an invitation to deepen our own relationship with Reiki. Use these incidents to look inwards, and become more resilient to the opinion of others.

Video Collection: What do I do with my mind during Reiki healing?

Many healers think their job is to ‘fix’ their clients, in Reiki healing we encourage people to focus on being present and open and stop cluttering up the space with their unnecessary thinking. The real gift is in your ability to fully accept and be OK with everything exactly as it is. #healingothers

Feeling Heavy after Healing Others

As we gain more practice as a Reiki healer, we will come across difficult cases or people who are very ill. Energetically it can take a lot from us if we are not careful, as this case study shows. Always check-in with what your own expectations are, what you want for them is what you will give. Dear Elaine, I would like to seek your advice on a recent issue and hope you will be able to shed some light on this. I was asked to begin Reiki treatments for a person with terminal s

My daughter is more agitated after Reiki, is it too much Reiki?

Question: I have recently completed my Reiki Level 1 and have been doing Reiki healing for a week on my daughter. I do the 12 position healing for 2.5 mins on each position. It has done wonders for her! For the first 4 days she fell into a deep sleep before I finished the 12 positions. The last few days however it takes her a while to settle and fall asleep even after I have finished the 12 positions. Have I done too much Reiki healing at one go, that now her body doesn’t ne

Why did I start to cry when I gave someone Reiki?

When we give Reiki to others, we are taught that Reiki is a one-way process – from us to the other. In this way we do not need to protect ourselves, and we do not need to worry about their energy affecting us. But as many people notice, Reiki treatments DO affect us, and sometimes in startling, or uncomfortable ways. Firstly it is important to understand the Reiki is not doing this; it is simply the interaction between two peoples’ energy fields. At Reiki level 1 this is m

Dealing with Transference in Reiki healing

There is a term in psychotherapy called ‘transference’, it's when a client unconsciously transfers feelings and attitudes from a person or situation in the past on to a person or situation in the present. It's a common issue amongst counselors and their patients, and it is something to watch out for in Reiki, especially if your client becomes a regular. Examples of Transference In an attempt to demystify transference, here are some very simple examples: You meet someone at a

Emotional Detox – Is it Me, You or Everyone?

After doing a Reiki treatment with a client or a group share with other practitioners, if we feel a surge of negative emotions, or become affected by emotions we don’t normally associate with Reiki – anger, sadness, frustration, anxiety – it’s easy to panic! Reiki is associated with feelings of love, peace and calm so immediately we begin to question, what is going on? These feelings can be caused by three different explanations; it’s useful to be able to distinguish between
