What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. 

If you are looking for a good spiritual meditation exercise for Reiki self attunements, you have come to the right place. Since Reiki has come to the west, we have been told that the only way to receive an attunement was from a Reiki Master. Recently, we have found that people are able to attune themselves easily, and just as effectively as being attuned by a master.

The following is a simple meditation exercise that you can try in the comfort of your own home to jump start your knowledge on Reiki self attunements and spiritual healing.

1. First, start with your feet spread out about a yard apart and your arms straight out to your side.

2. Turn your left palm up and right palm down. Begin deep breathing. The deep breathing helps to draw the purity from the air into your Solar Plexus.

3. Visualize and feel the energy entering your Solar Plexus and build up.

Imagine and feel this energy distribute throughout our whole being. At the same time imagine the energy flowing into your left hand, through you, and out of your right hand. Do this for several minutes.

4. Next, inhale, hold the breath, and continue the same visualization. You should now start feeling the energy rush.

5. Continue this meditation exercise for as long as you wish and enjoy it.

After Your Attunements

Once you have been attuned it is now up to you to bring Reiki into your daily life.

The first step is to become familiar with and practice the Reiki Principles.  These are the central core of Reiki and without these Reiki is no more than another 'alternative therapy'  On the page The Reiki Principles we give a fuller explanation of the Principles and why they are so important to Self Empowerment with Reiki.

Next you must incorporate meditation into your life on a daily basis.  The Gassho meditation is suggested for beginners to meditating, because of the simplicity of learning and ease in which you can carry out this meditation.  Once you are comfortable with the Gassho meditation you can try the Hatsurei-Ho meditation which is said to have been the method that was used by Dr Usui and his own students.  Hatsurei-Ho is also a very simple and very effective Reiki meditation, and is key to deepening your connection and ability to channel the energy.

Self healing is also a very good way to bring Reiki into your life and make manifest its benefits on the physical body.  We have provided one set of suggested hand positions on the "Self Healing with Reiki" page.  Remember that these are only SUGGESTIONS.  There is no right or wrong way to lay hands on yourself.  It might be useful at first, to carry out the hand positions as we have shown you, until you are confident enough use Reiki intuitively.
