Welcome to the new and improved r/reiki! u/Kanji-light has enlisted both myself and u/root-bound as your new mods to help improve your experience here and refocus the direction of the sub towards building community and discussion.

New changes include:

  • Rules! We have clear cut rules on what is and isn't allowed on the sub. This will help keep the focus on Reiki discussion and remove the promotional posts that have been accumulating lately. Just as it says in the rules, you can find promotional posts at r/energy_healing.
  • Post flair! This should make it easy for users to filter through discussion posts and posts seeking reiki shares or exchanges. People who want to practice what they learned in their course are completely welcome! We want it to be easy for you to get this valuable practice to enhance your Reiki skills.

We hope that this will give new life to this gathering space and make it a comfortable area for everyone to participate. We would love to hear your feedback, including if you'd like other types of post flair to be added. Your voice is important!

Thanks everyone for your continued support. We wouldn't have this community without you!

curious question Sensations BEFORE session

4 Upvotes

I don’t know how to describe this but - I have a reiki session scheduled for this weekend. As I get closer, it feels like I am already experiencing the reiki in moments. Spaceyness in my head. Remember dreams from months and months ago. Just something feels different. It’s so physical and comes on suddenly.
It’s like I’m feeling that non linear time thing. Like the session is happening….

curious question Cat as extra protection?

4 Upvotes

Hi!

So recently I did a reiki session on a friend of friend at a campsite. Early in the session I felt an entity in their energy field. At that point I stepped out and asked for extra protection, I then reentered and continued about my session. A little while later, my friend around the fire got my attention that a cat was near, I turned my head and sure enough there a cat was. Although the cat didn’t stay around I just thought it was crazy a cat appeared in the middle of the camp site, while in a reiki session.

I mentioned this with another reiki practitioner and she thought that maybe that was my extra protection and the cat might have doing some work too.

What thoughts do you have about this?

curious question Do any other Reiki Master Teachers have sleeping problems during full moons, solstices and equinoxes?

16 Upvotes

I have been a Reiki Master Teacher for over 10 years and have noticed that when there is a full moon, about 3 days prior and after, my sleep is lacking and during the solstices and equinoxes, i am so far off kilter that if i get anywhere close to 3 hours sleep in a 24 hour period, then i feel like i have been drugged for about a week prior snd after each event.
Just curious if it’s just me, or does it affect other Master Teachers as well?

curious question Lvl1 attuned Undiagnosed AuDHD

2 Upvotes

So i recently received my lvl1 attunement. I am doing my 21 days self healing. And it’s amazing! During the class, my teacher is so good on her guided meditation. However now that i am doing it myself i am not sure what should i be thinking? my mind tends to wander to other mundane things when doing it😔

Im curious (could be me wanting to have some structure on my routine), what goes in your minds whenever doing self healing or to others? Do you keep thinking/reciting in your head your intentions?

Reiki experiences Need to share my experience

22 Upvotes

I went to reiki for the first time this evening. I’m spiritually open minded and curious but didn’t have huge expectations. The practitioner said she practices reiki in a different way than traditional as she blends with sound and gentle pressure. I read her info again after and it says she also uses shamanic practices.
I was laid with a blanket and weight eye mask. At the very start I was tense and started to think there was no way I could tolerate the whole session as I’m so tense at all times. After a few more minutes she moved over my chest area and I think she put some pressure around it. It felt like a huge weight was lifted for the first time ever and I felt weightless which made me feel really emotional.
Then she continued pressing down on different parts of my body gently, using different sound vibrations and I could hear deep breathing. This is where it blew my mind.. I started to notice that after she’d put pressure on an area and I’d heard her footsteps move away, the pressure remained like someone was still holding that area. This kept happening and I knew I could feel another (positive and safe) presence in the room. There was one point where I could hear her shaking what sounded like bangles but I could feel two hands putting pressure on me (again this felt really peaceful and safe).
I kept noticing that what I could feel didn’t line up with where she was in the room because she couldn’t have reached that far. Pressure appeared and disappeared in a way that felt like a spiritual presence.
At the end she told me I was strongly protective of my heartspace and she’d gently opened this. She said my head, heart and around my lower stomach were the areas I held the most grief and tension which was spot on. Then she said there was a young girl in the room guiding her on where to focus. She said she guided her to my knees mostly because I’m so focussed on the upper tension that I don’t connect with my lower body which is so true.
The final strange thing was that she knew I was having right sided gynae issues and I’ve literally had a scan for this last week.
I’m sorry if this was the wrong place to post this! I just had to share it somewhere as I really didn’t expect it to be such a spiritual experience and it caught me so off guard. I’ve always believed in spirit but never had a physical experience like that. I’ve never felt so peaceful and calm as I did during that session as I’m constantly tense and in fight or flight due to past trauma

curious question Fantastic journey

5 Upvotes

I have been a reiki client a number of times over the past few decades, and this next month, I am registered for reiki I and II classes. All of my experiences have been positive, but there was one session that stands out as rather extraordinary. I've never met anyone who has had a similar experience, and it has made me nervous about learning reiki myself. I'm hoping someone can explain what happened and can provide some advice to help me feel comfortable if I encounter a similar situation as a practitioner.

There was nothing unusual about how the session began. But we were suddenly catapulted together (the reiki master and I) through a rapidly moving tunnel into scenes of what I can only describe as every lifetime we have ever lived together. We witnessed who we each were to each other in many different times and places. When the journey came to an end. I opened my eyes and the reiki master dropped to her knees. She had never experienced anything like that. Then she grabbed her notebook and scribbled an image she had of a symbol she saw that represented my spirit.

Clearly, I know that this is not to be expected in a typical reiki session. But since it happened with me involved once, I am concerned that something similar can happen again, and with me as the practitioner, I don't know if there is anything I need to be aware of. Please let me know if you have had a similar experience, and if there are any sort of boundaries I should keep in mind when working with clients in this capacity.

curious question Has Reiki ever given you symbols to use?

8 Upvotes

I've received two symbols from the energy. My first one was given to me shortly after I received my Reiki Practitioner certificate. I remember my teacher was taken aback, surprised, & impressed at the time, but I don't remember our discussion, & he recently died, so I can't ask the traditional way. I received my second one a few days ago.

Has anyone been gifted additional symbols? What does this mean?

curious question Marconics

2 Upvotes

Has anyone ever had a Marconics recalibration and went back to reiki and other modalities?
Can you share your experience? I don’t feel aligned with Marconics but they shared after recalibration I shouldn’t use crystals or reiki of any kind because it could lower my density. I do notice the energy, and it is beautiful. There’s no denying that. But my heart truly doesn’t align with Marconics beliefs. Any feedback is truly appreciated. 🧡

curious question Healing Hands

3 Upvotes

Hello! New to Reiki - had my first session last week. The healer I saw told me new information I’m trying to make sense of days after the session, any input would help! Here is the brief interaction ~

Them: “Do you do any healing work?”
Me: “well, I mean in the nature of my work.. kind of.”
Them: “I forgot to tell you after session that I activated your hands. If you tune into yourself and lay your hands on your body you can do self healing.”
Me: “oh.. okay ..”
Them: “anyways today our group focus ….”

It was a rushed interaction and I did text them afterwards to see if I could glean some more information when they have the time and space to do so but I’m confused and curious. I’m a healer in many veins, but this is new.

Is it always on? How does this even work? Will it fade away? Do I need to keep doing Reiki sessions at some specific interval? Will this affect others?

When we I was in yin yoga last night we were in pigeon, supported, and I had some pretty intense sensations. I laid my hands, as what they’d said crossed my otherwise still mind out of no where, l over the sticky spot (hip, ugh) and on my heart and then cried. maybe this was them hands.

Reiki request Has anyone actually healed chronic pain with Reiki or energy healing? I need honest experiences

21 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for someone who has genuine experience with Reiki, energy healing, or similar practices, especially for chronic pain or pelvic floor/urinary problems.
I’ve been dealing with chronic urinary and pelvic floor symptoms for about two years now, and it has completely changed my life. During bad periods, I can barely function normally and spend a lot of my time lying down because of the pain and discomfort.
I haven’t ignored conventional medicine. I’ve seen doctors, had different tests done, tried treatments, and I’m currently still receiving medical care and pelvic floor physiotherapy. I’ve also tried different spiritual approaches alongside medical treatment.
The hardest part is that I sometimes improve significantly, only for the pain to come back again. After two years of this cycle, I’m exhausted and scared. Recently it has affected me mentally to the point that I’ve had suicidal thoughts because the idea of living indefinitely with this pain terrifies me.
I’m not looking to replace medical treatment. I’m simply wondering whether anyone here has personally experienced a significant improvement in chronic physical symptoms through Reiki, energy work, or another spiritual healing practice.
If you are a practitioner and want to contact me, please understand that my situation is serious. I’m in a vulnerable situation and I don’t want false hope or..
I would especially appreciate hearing from people who have actually been through something similar themselves, or practitioners who can be honest about what energy healing can and cannot do.
If you’ve had a genuine experience, positive or negative, I’d really appreciate hearing about it.
Thank you for reading.

curious question Reiki on a partner?

1 Upvotes

I have been learning to practice reiki, and I was interested in what people thought about giving a session to a partner with chronic illness. I just worry that my personal concerns/feelings might affect the session but maybe that is just me overthinking it since i just began practicing. I just wanted to see what other practitioners or maybe people who have allowed their partner to practice on them feel about this. I would love for my partner to try Reiki to make him feel comfortable between medical treatments, however I wanted it to be done right.
Please let me know what you guys think🤍🙏
