Reiki can be a powerful tool to provide yourself with emotional healing or guide you through the challenges of life. You can use Reiki in a number of ways by setting an intention for what direction you want energy to flow in your life, whether to help you physically, emotionally or in another area of your life. Here is how to use Reiki energy.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Intention (where you want the Reiki energy to flow)
  • Open mind

    Understanding Reiki

  1. Step 1

    Understand what Reiki is. Reiki is a Japanese technique to relieve stress as well as promote relaxation and healing. It is like having a spiritual massage. A Reiki master places his hands either on or near your body to channel energy into your spirit. Reiki is never harmful. Reiki is simply a flow of positive energy that has the power to heal a person’s physical, emotional or spiritual wounds.

  2. Step 2

    Set an intention. Decide where you want to direct the Reiki energy so you can make positive changes in your life. You can direct the Reiki energy toward physical healing, emotional healing or other areas in your life that you would like to change.

  3. Step 3

    Relax your body’s tension. You can use Reiki energy to release the tension that your body holds from the day-to-day stresses of life. As your spirit receives Reiki energy, your body lets go of tension and relaxes.

  4. Step 4

    Manage your physical pain. Reiki energy can provide pain relief from many physical ailments. You can also use Reiki energy to push through psychological factors that might be contributing to chronic pain. By directing the Reiki energy toward the parts of your body that are in physical pain, your body is better able to heal itself.

  5. Step 5

    Heal your emotional wounds. You can use Reiki energy to soothe emotional wounds that you have not yet healed. By tapping into an unending source of love through Reiki energy, you can access the love you need to comfort and heal your emotional pain.

  6. Step 6

    Change your situation. During a Reiki session, you can visualize what things you want to change in your life and direct Reiki energy toward making it happen. For example, if you are having trouble losing weight, visualize yourself living in a healthier body while you receive Reiki energy. Let yourself enjoy how wonderful you would feel if your life moved in that direction, and you will direct Reiki energy toward meeting that goal.

  7. Step 7

    Go to multiple sessions. Set only one intention for each session, and use Reiki energy at each session to heal various areas in your life.

Tips & Warnings
  • Sometimes Reiki releases negative energy that manifests itself by making you need to use the bathroom. Tell the Reiki master if you need to take a bathroom break during the Reiki session.
