Traditional Usui Reiki with Sharon

If you enjoy giving Reiki, and also enjoy meditating, why not do both? Reiki can easily be sent to a person or place/situation during meditation. Here are some suggestive tips to do so.

* Get Centered in Meditation. Use whatever technique you typically use to enter into a meditative state. I like to start by chanting Om three times. I visualize white energy coming through my crown, flowing down my spine through the root chakra and into the earth. Once I feel the flow is going strong, I visualize the energy flowing back up through the root chakra, up the spine and out the crown chakra. It flows up into the depths of the heavens. If you aren’t good at visualizing, you can also sit for several minutes and simply focus on your breath. Inhale deep and slow, exhale slowly and completely. Allow your body to feel anchored down.

* Enter into the heart space. Place your focus on your heart center. Allow yourself to feel unconditional love flowing through this space. You may wish to place one or both hands over your heart center and breathe into your hands. Visualize healing pink energy filling up inside your chest.

* Visualize a movie screen a few feet in front of you. Place the image of the person or place on the screen.

* Offer Reiki energy. Freely offer the energy out allowing the recipient to accept or reject it. Say or think quietly, “I offer this healing energy to (person or place/situation). Know that they are free to accept or reject this energy.” If the energy is rejected, may it go where it is needed and accepted.” An example of a place/situation is where there is presently war, or chaos, natural disaster, and so on. To send the energy, hold your hands out with palms facing toward the visualized screen in front of you.

* Add power by adding symbols. If you are attuned to symbols, you can also visualize the symbols being signed over the image.

* The Reiki Session. Visualize healing Reiki energy coming from the universe above you. Imagine it entering the top of your head and flowing into your heart center. Visualize it moving from your heart center, down your arms and out your hands to the image on the screen. You may also want to allow the energy to flow directly out from your heart.

* Close the session. There is no time limit on when you finish the session. You will know when you are done. Bless the image, bring your hands to prayer position, offer a prayer if you feel called to do so. Visualize the screen turning off. Offer a prayer of gratitude for the exchange of energy you just completed, and for being the channel for healing.
