Have you ever woken up on the wrong side of the bed? Did you have a day where you just couldn’t seem to improve? Do you feel like you have lost your inner strength? When we cannot feel the connection with our inner, divine self, it is difficult to perform at our best.
Sometimes it’s easy to lose sight of who we are. When our energy becomes stagnant or stale, we no longer operate from a center of balance and focus, but from a dark and muddy pool of energy that longs for cleansing.
This is where Reiki can come into play.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a form of energy healing in which practitioners use hands-on healing to heal a person’s emotional and physical state.
A Reiki practitioner sends natural healing vibrations into an individual’s body through the palms, and the person absorbs healing universal energy through the hands.
How do you know if Reiki energy is flowing?
Reiki healing is used when a person’s energy is low, damaged, or misaligned in some way.
We know when our energy is out of sync or blocked because we will experience all kinds of mental, physical or emotional ailments ranging from headaches and migraines to irritability and depression.
You may feel sad or lethargic for no reason. These are classic signs of blocked Reiki energy.
Some benefits of Reiki
There are numerous benefits to using reiki to cleanse the mind. Although it can be a fairly simple process, you will find it to be one of the most effective methods for bringing out the best in you and letting your inner goddess shine.
Many of the benefits of Reiki as a practice include:
- Opening blocked energy
- The body and mind relax
- Increasing energy
- Promoting creativity
- Immune system support
- Stimulates deeper sleep
Who can practice Reiki?
You don’t have to be a trained Reiki master to practice the healing art. Although the art of Reiki is said to be passed down from practitioner to trainer, formal training is not necessary to change energy.
Energy movement is a natural phenomenon, and you can set your own energy into motion through willpower and gentle technique. Although taking Reiki classes is recommended for beginners to learn what they need to know, you are not doing yourself any harm by trying to tune in and positively change your own energy.
Various tools can be used when performing Reiki, such as a massage table and Reiki stones.
Reiki healing and astrology
Reiki healing can be that terribly useful in an astrological sense, and helps unleash your inner goddess. This can often be determined based on the element your sign controls.
People of different elements will experience different types of blockages often related to their specific element.
Fire signs: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius
When Fire signs experience blocked energy, there are usually symptoms such as getting angry easily for no reason, irritability, stress, migraines, and focusing too much energy on one thing and not another.
Water signs: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces
When water signs experience blocked energy, there will usually be symptoms such as too much daydreaming, escapism, withdrawal, sadness and moodiness.
Air signs: Gemini, Libra and Aquarius
When Air signs experience blocked energy, there will usually be symptoms such as fatigue, mental exhaustion, confusion, excessive sleepiness, reluctance to communicate or, conversely, too much chatter.
Earth signs: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
When the Earth Sign experiences blocked energy, there will usually be symptoms such as laziness, lethargy, apathy, excessive criticism, self-indulgence, or selfishness that is out of character.
In all cases the inner goddess is suppressed. Reiki can help free her.
How to use Reiki energy to unleash your inner power
Step 1
Start by putting yourself in a calm, meditative state. Close your eyes and deepen your breathing. Don’t try to control your thoughts; be careful and do not follow their path.
Just let thoughts come and go as you focus on your deep inhale, followed by your deeper exhale.
Step 2
Locate any tension in the body and let it melt away.
When your body is completely relaxed and your mind is focused, you are ready to attune yourself to the Universal energy that Reiki thrives on. Focus on your chakras, from the root to the crown.
Step 3
Start mentally clearing away any unnecessary or negative energy. Imagine your cells as a housekeeper systematically marching through your being, sweeping away any tension, pain, frustration, jealousy or anger.
Imagine them burning sage into every crevice of your mind and infusing every cell with positive, cleansing energy. Imagine every part of you being healed and enveloped in the warmth of the sun.
Step 4
Imagine your inner goddess/god waking up from her/his long sleep to greet you with joy and fill your mind with energy. Give your goddess/god space to breathe and live within you, and thank him/her for the courage she/he places in you to follow your dreams and desires.
When the goddess/god within is not cared for or made to exist in a swarm of negative or stale energy, she is not at her best to assist you in your endeavors. Use the power of reiki to cleanse your mind and soul and awaken the power within.
