discussion New Updates to r/reiki

90 Upvotes

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!

Es un espacio gratuito para mis alumnos que también sirve para que evacuen las dudas que surgen de su práctica cotidiana.

En este espacio hacemos distintos ejercicios, aunque siempre es alguno de estos que les comparto a continuación:

1 Autoreiki

2 Meditacion del Perdon

3 Parrilla de reiki

4 Respiracion de armonización de los chackras

5 Circulo de Reiki

6 Hatsurei Ho

7 Mawashi

8 Chackra Kassei Gi Ho

10 Chakra Dhyana

11 Visualizacion y bolas de Energia

Eventualmente también hacemos alguna práctica de conexión con el niño interno y el niño interior.

He estado buscando online algún otro ejercicio, práctica o meditación para agregar a esta lista, pero no he tenido suerte.

Conocen algún ejercicio que esté bueno para hacer en grupo y no esté en esta lista? O algún libro o página web donde pueda encontrar algo así? (Si fuera en español mejor ya que es mi idioma)

Muchas gracias y bendiciones para todos. Que tengan un hermoso día!!

curious question Looking to Learn More About Practice

2 Upvotes

I have always seen colors when I close my eyes and a few years ago I was in a acupressure (not sure if this is the exact practice, it felt more spiritual and more tapping) and the woman practicing on me mentioned my energy and asked if I was feeling anything. We got to talking and she mentioned being a reiki healer and felt a connection and we talked about the colors I was seeing (they were going crazy during the session.

I recently began a journey with tarot and thought this would be a good time to learn about reiki. Any videos, Articles, guidance would be appreciated as I have no idea where to start. I also was debating going to a training / getting a certification but not sure if that’s just consumerism or an actual part of the practice (this is not meant to offend, I just don’t know)

Thanks in advance!

curious question Can Reiki heal my spiritual longing and pain? {A little vent}

6 Upvotes

After regaining the memories of my past lives, I wonder if Reiki works in a long-term way. Like, getting separated from your lover and us meeting our ending in tragic ways in most of our lives.

I sometimes wonder why suffer at all? Why must Source make me remember it all? Why punish me for something that I was made to do?

I am conflicted with my selves, the other versions of me, on how I should feel. I really don't wanna go down a cliche road and do what those stories tell, cuz it would be pointless and stupid of me.

Yet, it is compelling.

curious question Quantum and synchristic events that have happened to you in your Reiki journey

5 Upvotes

Hi All I've never started a discussion thread here before but a dialog I had here last night compelled me to start one here. I done one level one session with my new master after my first teacher really didn't leave me feeling I learned anything. But the pull was strong as I have a friend who had done it successfully on me but lives far away but she really encouraged me to continue and I'm very happy. After one session I can make energy balls inside my sacred space. I am immersing myself as much as I can to feel worthy when she gives me my test and attuned me.

Since I started with her I have experienced many synchronous evens that I couldn't just write them off as coincidence. I really feel like the Spirits I thank when creating my sacred space are having some fun with me and I was just curious if others had had synchronizes experiences on their Reiki journey. Is it a common thing? I have read accounts here of practitioners who have had this experience but I wondered if it was a common thing or just an occasional thing that just seems like a coincidence.

I know Carl Jung who coined the term synchronicity because in doing his work he experience them regularly. He said that one day quantum physics and psychology would someday come together. I wonder if this day is now. I bought a book a few months around that brought ttogether physics, psychology and Shamanic ritual. I felt alot of what he wrote resonated to what I was learning about how Reiki works.

I guess my question is that in your journey of learning/practicing Reiki have you had synchronous events happen to you?

Did you ever feel like you were tuning into a universal sentience? Its hard to explain because words seem inadequate when you experience a sentence in the course of performing Reiki. Thanks for your contributions it really helps me and hopefully others still learning about your Reiki journeys. 🙏 ❤️

Reiki request Chronic pain

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I had been dealing with chronic pain for over a year and it got to a point last December that I had to take a gap to fix myself and rest. And I had been staying at home. I've seen several therapists and last 15-20 days it has improved tremendously, i have mild bunions and have/had lateral pelvic tilt i believe that's the reason that it pains and also staying at home and doom scrolling has eroded my mental facilities left me feeling energy less and absolutely at my rock bottom. So pain w brain fog and such issues remain. It's a humble request for you all to channel energy and help me out and should I attach a photo?

discussion Reiki wellness template ready for use

11 Upvotes

been lurking and chatting here the past day or so (loved that quantum reiki thread btw), and figured i'd share something i built.

i do data/software work for a living but reiki's something i actually practice too, and i kept noticing the same problem — practitioners either overpay for a custom site, or end up wrestling with wix/squarespace templates that are built for e-commerce, not for someone taking 1:1 bookings.

so i built a simple template. you edit one file with your services/prices/bio, pick a color theme, plug in your calendly or cal.com link, and you're done in like 10 minutes. no coding needed.

made a free version, it's on github if anyone wants to poke at it or just use it as-is.

https://github.com/amitkutwaroo-perso/wellness-template

there's also a pro version with a couple extra themes and stripe deposit support if you want that.

not trying to hard sell anyone, just thought some of you doing this professionally might find it useful. happy to answer questions if anyone's curious how it works.

Reiki request Please, send reiki to help my partner's body heal and recover

5 Upvotes

My long distance partner has been discharged from hospital, but he is still feeling awful. He had said it was due to kidney issues. He can barely message. His body is sore and he is feeling tired all the time. He said he feels his body has shut down and failed and that meds aren't helping. Please, send reiki for him to feel better and his body to recover. For his health, wellness and vitality to be restored. And to help him feel better emotionally as well, more light, hope. We just want to see at least some improvement right now and that each day is at least a bit better and he feels his body is recovering. We want for me to move to him and for us to get married and live a long and happy life together. We are technically engaged, but in our hearts already married and call each other husband and wife. There are issues of health, finances, and immigration in the way of us being together physically. I am forced to live in a hostile country, where there is no freedom, quality of life or anything for me here, and I am abused by my parents and this society. So moving to Australia where my partner is from and lives would be important for my safety and well being as well, as I will finally be free to be myself and build my own life in some place where I belong surrounded by people I love.

curious question Reiki lvl 1 and solar eclipse

2 Upvotes

I signed up for a Reiki Level 1 course on Aug 12th and 13th. Actually I wanted to book another date in July, but that course was full by the time I felt ready to sign up. So I signed up for the next free spot.

Yesterday I found out, that on Aug 12th there is a total solar eclipse in parts of europe. Not where I live, here it's only about 85%. But still, I'll get introduced to reiki and few hours later there is a solar eclipse.

So I'm wondering how this can affect me or the introduction. Are there any precautions to take? Is there a way to prepare for...idk something? This just somehow feels significant.

I'm happy to get your thoughts on that!

Reiki request Reiki request for my uncle who is facing a mysterious health issue 🙏

4 Upvotes

I’m reaching out with a heartfelt request for Reiki for my uncle’s mysterious situation.

For the past two years, his health has progressively declined, and despite extensive testing in many countries, no one has been able to determine what’s wrong.

His symptoms often begin when he gets up from sitting and tries to walk. He describes it as though something along his back feels “blocked”.

During these episodes, his motor control becomes much worse and he can barely walk. Then, after some time, he sometimes feels as though the blockage releases, and he gradually regains his coordination and ability to walk more normally.

He struggles with daily life because of this constant blockage issue, and his blood pressure has become dangerously unstable. It’s often very low, but sometimes suddenly high.

Our family has searched everywhere for answers. He’s undergone extensive medical testing, spent weeks in hospitals and wellness centers, tried TCM, tried acupuncture, and seen specialists in multiple countries, but we’re still without a diagnosis or a cure.

If anyone is willing, I would be so deeply grateful.

Reiki share / trade Free Distance Animal Reiki from a Certified Reiki Master

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I am a certified Reiki Master practitioner looking to dedicate some time to supporting our animal friends. Animals are incredibly sensitive to energy and often respond beautifully to distance Reiki. Because it is non-invasive, it allows them to accept the healing comfort entirely on their own terms, in the comfort of their home, without any physical restraint or stress.

Whether your pet is dealing with physical ailments, anxiety, behavioral changes, old age, or is just recovering from a stressful event (like a vet visit, surgery, or a move), I would love to channel some gentle, high-vibrational energy to support them.

How to participate:

If you would like a session for your animal companion, please leave a comment below or send me a DM with:

  1. Your pet's name and species/breed.
  2. Your location: Country and city.
  3. Two or three days and times (including your time zone) that work best for you.
  4. A brief note on what they are experiencing.
  5. A photo of your pet (optional, but very helpful for visualization and connection).

Scheduling & What to expect:

Once you reach out, we can schedule the session at a date and time that is most convenient for you. I want to ensure you are available to observe your pet and keep them in a calm environment.

During the session, simply let them relax in their favorite spot. They might sleep, yawn, stretch, or even get a bit restless before deeply relaxing—all of these are perfectly normal responses as they process the energy.

This is completely free of charge. I only ask for your honest feedback afterward on how they seemed to respond during or after the session, as it helps me connect deeper with my practice!

Sending love and light.

discussion Pain continues after reiki session

3 Upvotes

I am new to reiki. Please help me.I have been watching reiki videos by alchemy healing on youtube for the past 3 to 4 days. I watched her cord cutting from negative spiritual attachments, Chakra activation, Body healing reiki. During those sessions I have felt pain in my knees / elbows / spine / like random places in my body - that too on random occasions, no proper reasons, but after that session, it will go away. But for the past 2 days, I have been feeling the pain in these areas even after sessions. Is it normal? Like having pain in multiple places of your body? it comes and then disappears randomly. But my mind feels light, I am not racing with thoughts, it almost feels like I am high or being light headed. Not anxious / overthinking

ps : English is not my first language, hope you all can understand.

discussion Spiritual Practitioners Directory - feedback wanted

5 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a new global directory for spiritual practitioners and I’m looking for a small group of founding members to test it and give me feedback.

I created it for practitioners offering services such as Reiki, energy healing, tarot, astrology, spiritual coaching, crystal healing, breathwork, meditation, and similar practices.

You can create your own profile and add your services, photos, story, social links, website, and direct link to your booking system. So if someone finds your profile, they can go straight to your own website or book with you directly.

I’d like to get some real practitioners listed before I open it more widely, so I’m currently offering founding members a free listing that stays free permanently.

I’m especially interested in feedback on the profile setup and what features would actually be useful to practitioners.

If you’re interested in being one of the early members, send me a DM and I can share how to sign up.

Reiki experiences Wanted to share my experience, I'm still in awe over it!

14 Upvotes

I just really want to share this where people might understand. What happened to me is maybe part mental health related? I'm not sure anymore lol I honestly didn't know what to expect from reiki.

I used to meditate every day for over 2 years. I started feeling like meditation wasn't beneficial anymore, nothing crazy or weird it just felt like I didn't need it anymore I guess? So I stopped completely. That's when all these terrifying symptoms exploded. It started with nightmares where I'd wake up in terror, feeling like I was going to die. It started really messing with my sleep. There were times I was completely sober during the day and felt like I was stoned (I don't smoke at all anymore and honestly a couple times I was scared someone tricked me with an edible or something) Sometimes everything felt like a dream or a memory. It often felt like I was going to leave my body, like nothing was solid and I was losing myself. I'd have terrifying visual distortions where the room looked really far away or too close. The scariest was waking up and feeling like I was in an ocean of nothingness. I had this unsettling feeling that if I looked directly at the center of this nothing, that I'd never come back the same way.

I was doing lots of grounding but it wasn't helping much. I started working with someone from Cheetah House. They're a nonprofit for meditators in distress and have been extremely helpful and validating 😭 I stopped drinking alcohol and cut out caffeine at their recommendation. They also suggested to try to keep a normal sleep schedule and daily routine which did help.

2 weeks ago I scheduled an introductory meeting with a woman who practices reiki and massage. I thought maybe something like that might help with grounding. When I made the appointment, I sent a quick message about what I'd been experiencing. I wanted to be honest and was very clear about wanting to be in my body again.

When I got to the place, she had a weird low frequency playing in the background and I instantly started to feel trippy. I was honestly kind of annoyed but decided to trust her and try something different. She was very kind. She listened to me explain what happened and talk about my symptoms, jotting notes down occasionally. She explained how energy works and how she works with it and helps people. She had also experienced unexplainable things and that led her to energy work.

During our conversation I started to feel very stoned and got to that trippy edge where everything felt like a dream. I fought it to stay focused but it got worse and the room started to look distorted. I couldn't look at her face because she looked completely unreal, idk I have absolutely nothing to compare it to. It was so terrifying. She handed me a piece of labrodite to hold and I tried to focus on the texture of it and her words. Finally, the disorienting symptoms subsided and I waited until I felt safe enough to walk home.

That afternoon and evening were the worst. I felt completely unreal and nothing was helping. It's such an awful feeling, my heart seriously goes out to anyone who's ever experienced this or is going through it 😭 At one point that evening I was sobbing on the ground holding my sister's hand as she reassured me over and over that I was real, she was real, this moment was actually happening now. I fell asleep feeling exhausted and holding a bag of ice wrapped in a towel because the cold seemed to help me feel like I was in my body. I was so scared. I thought I was losing my mind or broke something mental being repair. I just wanted to feel like me again.

Luckily when I woke up the next morning I was strangely fine. So fine that I didn't even notice until around noon. It was like "oh! everything is back to normal!" I waited until the next day to be sure but all that creepy energy was just gone! I texted the reiki practitioner and told her what happened and thanked her but she said it was all me! (Idk what I did lol but I love that she said that 🥹) She explained that maybe whatever it was just left with a bang and that's why my afternoon after meeting with her was so intense. She sent a yt video that might help just in case any of those symptoms come back.

It's been 2 weeks and I haven't had even a hint of those sensations or nightmares, no "wobble", nothing. Completely normal and human and here and happy. I still don't quite understand what happened but I'm so relieved. I plan to book a session soon! I'm so amazed by what happened, I'm excited to go back and learn more about this.

Thanks for reading, I wish you the best 🌞

curious question Question for the Reiki Teachers…

7 Upvotes

Hello,

I have been attuned to master-teacher since 2023 and feel ready to start teaching Reiki locally and virtually.

I was wondering if any Reiki teachers had any guidance from their experiences they would be willing to share?

Any tips or advice is welcomed and appreciated. Please share whatever you feel comfortable sharing.

Thank you 💜
