How to practice Reiki on yourself
Lets learn Reiki for your next Reiki session using the following steps
1. Relax into a meditative stage
Begin by finding a quiet and serene space where you can relax. Make sure you clean this space and keep it clutter free. If you would like, you can also cleanse the energy in this space using sage or incense
Start off this practice by getting into a meditative stage. To do this, you can use a meditation on a YouTube. However, I like to get myself to the meditative stage using box breath.
Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and focus on your intention about healing and balance. If your mind wanders, slowly bring it back to focus on your intention. Do this until you feel relaxed.
2. Guide the universe life force into your body.
As you may know now, Reiki is the practice of using the universe’s energy for healing purposes. Connect to the infinite universe energy using your hands.
Place your hands on different parts of your body, allowing the healing energy to flow through you. Visualize the universal life force energy entering your body, harmonizing your chakras, and restoring vitality. Remember that the universal energy is infinite and abundant.
