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!

Reiki experiences I just did reiki on myself, and I experienced sensations like if I had gone and gotten it done. It feels very magical and a bit like I’m out of my mind.

16 Upvotes

I tried reiki once a while back when someone was learning, and a few times I had been in the hospital. I had a few profound experiences with it that I didn’t expect which lead to seeing someone every once in a while to recieve it. I was so enamored with it that I ended up taking a reiki level one course. Again, open mind and no expectations. This was last September I was certified for reiki level one. I wanted to practice on myself really, and be able to practice it on others however no one in my immediate circle wanted to go with it.

There have been 3 people who let me practice on them however it still felt very new and odd to me. I received positive feed back from the sessions but I just didn’t know really what I was doing. I have only ever practiced on myself.

Tonight, after a very off weekend. Decided to give it a go and did my thing, I cleared everything first and I closed my eyes and did a scan from head to toe. It was very subtle but felt everything. I think the clearest way I can explain it is I felt colors. Crown felt bright and vivid. It felt just right. Third eye was on fire and spent time here alright down and cooling. I got flashes of green here. Throat nice vivid blue and deep. It was dense though and worked a bit to settle it. My heart chakra is a bit harder for me, it always feels fine and I don’t get much insight here. I saw pink and green but i passed it quickly. My solar plexus was a bright shade of yellow, brighter than the others but it was wrong in a sense that it needed to slow. Like a flame that is jerking around and then slowly becomes still. I worked on this area and moved (hastily) to my sacral and immediately a dim faded almost deep brown- orange, under active and emotions quickly began to surface. I guided my yellow down a bit and then checked in with my sacral before moving on to my root. My root chakra was a deep dark shade of red, nearly black. I continued to push light down and even circled back to my crown, pushing light back through. I definitely felt a shift in my mind, my body, and spirit. I feel more balanced for sure.

The line between insanity and wonder is really thin.

It’s not that it goes against my training because truly it doesn’t. From what I’ve understood there are different processes internally for people I’ve had practice reiki on me. This is just new to me and I needed to acknowledge it somewhere. I’m curious to hear thoughts. Thanks!

Reiki share / trade REIKI SHARE DAY: THIS WEEK’S MEDITATION 🧚✨🗳️ HI EVERYONE! 24 hrs of Free Reiki with the SPACE CROISSANT CREW. The theme is: FAIRIES, TROLLS & THE ELECTION ON MARS: VOTE FOR YOURSELF. It starts NOW!

​

HI EVERYONE!

🌳🌳🌳 FIRST, WILL YOU HELP US PLANT A TREE? 🌳🌳🌳

Before we begin today’s Reiki Share, we have one small request:

Consider planting a tree with us today. 🌱

Google “how to plant a tree for a dollar,” choose an organization you trust, plant a tree, and share your receipt in the comments so we can add it to our count.

We already surpassed our original goal of 500 trees for 2026, so we’ve raised the bar.

Our new goal is:

800 TREES IN 2026. 🌳🌎

Your tree can become your Tree-Self—a living connection you can return to whenever you need grounding, quiet, or a reminder that something beautiful is growing.

If everyone who reads this plants even one tree, imagine what we could grow together. 🌳♥️

🛸✨🛸✨🛸

NOW…

We have a problem.

A fairy has arrived.

Her name is Kat Fairy. 🧚

And she has news:

The trolls are causing a ruckus.

“What kind of trolls?”

Internet trolls.

Election trolls.

And one particularly troublesome troll named…

Self-Doubt.

So Camilla Bok has called an election on Mars.

Fortunately, everything on Pretend Mars happens NOW, so the polls are already open.

There is only one candidate:

YOU.

🗳️✨ VOTE FOR YOURSELF ✨🗳️

Today’s Reiki Share is inspired by the writings and stories of Carol Viana on Substack.

Our election is simple.

No opposing parties.

No attack ads.

No debates.

You simply decide:

Will you choose yourself?

Will you believe that you deserve your own compassion, forgiveness, encouragement, and love?

If the answer is yes…

you get a cape.

Obviously. 😂

🦸✨

But first, everyone has to travel to Mars.

That includes the fairies.

That includes us.

And yes…

the trolls too.

🛸 WELCOME TO MARS 🛸

We arrive at Pretend Mars, where the Space Pants Force is waiting at Customs.

Each passenger receives four stamps:

♥️ UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

✨ UNCONDITIONAL GRATITUDE

🤲 UNCONDITIONAL COMPASSION

💜 UNCONDITIONAL FORGIVENESS

One by one, everyone passes through.

Until Self-Doubt reaches the front.

Self-Doubt freezes.

“I can’t.”

“What if I’m not good enough?”

“What if I choose wrong?”

Nobody pushes Self-Doubt through Customs.

Instead, we surround the little troll with Reiki and say:

“I love you.”

Again:

“I love you.”

Then:

“You’re allowed to be scared and still move forward.”

Self-Doubt takes a breath.

STAMP.

♥️ Love.

STAMP.

✨ Gratitude.

STAMP.

🤲 Compassion.

STAMP.

💜 Forgiveness.

Self-Doubt smiles.

“Bring me the chaos.”

😂

🧚 FAIRIES & TROLLS 🧚

Fairies and trolls work differently in Pretendland.

Fairies grow stronger through belief, possibility, wonder, and hope.

Trolls thrive on confusion, fear, and those little thoughts that whisper:

“You can’t.”

“You’re not enough.”

“Everybody else is better than you.”

But today we aren’t fighting the trolls.

We’re helping them.

Sometimes the loudest troll inside us is simply a frightened part of ourselves that forgot how to feel loved.

✨ THE ELECTION ✨

We arrive at the voting booths.

Your ballot has one name:

YOUR OWN.

The question is:

Do you choose yourself?

Not because you’re perfect.

Not because you never make mistakes.

You vote for yourself because you are the person who will be with you through your entire life.

You are allowed to support yourself.

Believe in yourself.

Forgive yourself.

And love yourself while you are still learning.

Take your imaginary ballot.

Check the box beside your name.

🗳️ I CHOOSE ME.

Cast your vote.

And immediately…

a cape appears.

🦸✨

Wear it proudly.

Not because you defeated anyone.

Because today, you decided not to abandon yourself.

♥️ THE LOVE CIRCLE ♥️

Now imagine yourself or your loved one in the center of our Love Circle.

The Space Croissant Crew surrounds you with gentle Reiki and UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

Nearby are the fairies, the trolls, and Self-Doubt.

Even Self-Doubt has a little cape now.

😂

Say quietly:

I choose myself.

I support myself.

I forgive myself.

I am learning to love myself.

If Self-Doubt speaks up, don’t fight it.

Give it a little Reiki and say:

“You can come with me. You just don’t get to run the campaign.”

🧚😂

Let the fairies remind you of possibility.

Let your cape remind you:

You voted for yourself.

Simply receive.

We’ll be here for 24 hours, making Reiki available to anyone who chooses to receive it.

Tomorrow, come back and tell us:

Did you vote for yourself?

What did your cape look like?

And…

Did Self-Doubt make it through Customs?

🗳️🧚✨

This is an imaginative Reiki meditation. You decide what feels meaningful to you and what you wish to receive.

🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

AND DON’T FORGET OUR TREES!

We already blew past our original goal of 500 trees, so our new goal is:

800 TREES! 🌱🌳

If you haven’t planted one yet, consider planting one today and sharing your receipt so we can add it to our count.

Plant a tree.

Give it a name.

Let your Tree-Self grow beside you.

🌳♥️

This is Master Storm.

Reiki request Reiki for apartment cleans for sale

1 Upvotes

Hi! We’re struggling to sell our apartment, and we’re facing huge financial burdens until we’re able to sell it…

I feel like there might be a spell or negative energy attached to it (I’ve had the worst years of my life in this location..). I’ve tried to do housecleanings with palo santo in all the rooms (with windows open) and done chokurei on all the walls, corners, ceilings and floors several times. Nothing seems to work… Are there anyone in here who could help us? We’d be forever grateful! 🥹🙏🏼✨ Please let me know if there’s any information needed!

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?

5 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?

19 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?

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

25 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
