Let's get started.
I'm going to direct you through this practice.
If you're laying down,
I think that's ideal.
I'm going to be standing just so you can kind of see where my hands are at as we go,
And we're going to do this together.
Little self-reiki together.
So the first thing I love to do before working on myself or working on others is alignment.
Taking a moment to just pause,
Taking a moment to just be,
To notice where you're at.
Getting us out of the busy mind,
The worry,
The whatever we've been.
Living.
And come to the now,
Coming to this moment of peace,
This moment of stillness.
Let me invite you to do that with me now.
Just closing your eyes.
I do this before I do Reiki on anyone.
I just take a couple of minutes to pause and tune in with myself.
Slow things down.
Noticing your physical body.
Holding no judgment.
Simply noting.
How your body feels in this moment.
Tuning into your heart.
Are there any lingering emotions here?
Again,
Just allowing.
Checking in on your mind.
How is that to mental health right now?
Being equanimous towards whatever your findings are as you check in with yourself.
And just taking some deep breaths.
Arriving fully.
Beautiful.
Let's activate our palm chakras.
So do this in the way that feels best to you.
Beautiful.
And we're going to state our invocation.
So I'll share mine,
And I encourage you to share yours after.
I call on Reiki to support me today,
Helping me release those things I've been carrying that have been heavy and hard.
Helping me wash them down into the earth,
Surrendering them fully from my being so that I may grow.
So that I may be nourished and made anew.
I call on the highest quality of light from the universe to fill me up,
To reflect my highest self and my deepest truth.
And I invite any wisdom to come through my intuition that can support me.
May all my guides and helpers be here with me as I do this work,
Helping me out.
And I invite you to state your invocation now as well.
We have time to attend to the seven chakras.
We're going to do that today.
I like to begin with the crown chakra.
So hovering your hands above.
And finding that good spot.
So finding your spot where it feels the most powerful and then placing your hands there.
I like to say there's not rules.
Of course there's rules we can choose to follow,
But when guided by our intuition.
That's what's right in that moment.
It will always change and be different.
So you may want one hand in the air,
One on the body.
You may not want to use your hands.
You may want them by your sides.
So just like we did the scan visually with our third eye.
We can do Reiki in the same way.
See what you feel called to do in this moment.
And we'll begin to allow that Reiki to flow.
It's already flowing because we've stated our invocation.
It's happening.
So really what we're doing is stepping out of the way consciously and allowing.
Witnessing it happen.
Soften your mind and allow.
Allowing with no judgment if anything arises as you're doing this.
Trust that it's coming up for a reason for you.
Keeping your awareness or your hands on your crown.
This is that connection to oneness where the energy of the universe fills us up,
Allows us to feel supported.
Connects us to everything and everyone.
Letting that flow in,
Washing away any heaviness of the mind that tells us otherwise.
And notice whatever is arising for you.
You may be getting messages.
You may think your mind is thinking.
It may actually be your intuition sharing messages and meaning with you.
Alright,
We're going to come down to the third eye.
So you can place your hands wherever feels good.
You can do the back and the front of the head.
You may hover your hands.
As well.
See what feels best for you.
This is that lovely indigo light connecting you to your inner knowing.
Your intuition.
Letting the Reiki flow here,
Helping to clear your channel and align you with your soul.
See if there are any.
Any messages coming through for you?
Any feelings,
Imagery,
Deep knowings that can guide you and support you in your journey of awakening with your intuition?
Let's see what your third eye wants to share with you.
And I'm going to be asking intuitive prompts over each chakra.
That doesn't mean you're going to get messages on each one.
You may get no messages today.
That is fine.
Reiki isn't all about the messages.
It's about this trust and the energy transference that's happening.
To me,
The intuitive messages are just a bonus,
Allowing us to take it further.
But really all that's needed is this Reiki transfer,
This energy transfer.
So let's come down to the throat chakra now.
A light blue.
Little energy vortex of expression.
And chakra means spinning wheel.
Or for a tax.
So finding where it feels good to have your hands or place your awareness.
And allowing that Reiki to flow.
And let us ask a question here.
How about we add.
.
.
My dear throat chakra.
What do you need to be more open?
So that I can be more expressive and honest.
You surrendering to the flow of Reiki through your palm chakras into the heart.
Or if you're not using your hands,
Directly allowing it to go to the heart.
Traditionally we use hands in Reiki,
But I do like to share this other alternative of just using your awareness because it is just as powerful.
But when we begin,
Hands are a better tool because we can feel it.
We are brought in through the senses,
The extrasensory perceptions.
Feeling sensation our hands tells our mind something's happening here.
This thing called energy is not elusive.
It's not in my mind.
It is a felt sense,
Felt through physical sensation or emotion,
However we're feeling it.
So it's a lovely way to practice is using the hand.
It always confirms for us that energy.
And let's ask our heart,
My dear heart.
Is there any emotion that you're holding on to?
That's not supporting you anymore,
That you're ready to release.
And whatever arises,
If you can soften its placement within your heart chakra,
Letting it rise on its own,
Letting it be lifted by the Reiki.
Surrendering it to the universe.
Beautiful.
Coming down to the solar plexus chakra now.
That yellow,
Vibrant light reflecting the self,
Our confidence,
Our worthiness,
Our self-love.
Our power.
I'm gonna ask.
My intuition,
Is there an affirmation?
That will be helpful for me.
In loving myself.
More wholly and authentically.
What is that affirmation?
And whatever affirmation comes through for you,
Speak that out loud,
Verbalize it,
Give it power,
And feel the words.
Don't just say them.
All right,
Coming down to the sacral chakra,
This orange lovely space of acceptance of our sexual sensual energy,
Our creativity.
Playfulness,
Inner child energy.
And the negative aspect here can be too much fear,
Too much fear.
And so let's ask our sacral chakra.
What fear is no longer serving me?
What fear am I ready to release?
Trusting whatever is arising,
Whatever felt sense or message.
And see if by using your breath you can support that in releasing.
Each inhale calling in fresh energy,
Each exhale washing the space out of the sacral chakra.
Washing that fear out.
Lovely.
We're going to come down to the root chakra.
That red vortex of light.
Connecting you to the earth,
To feeling grounded and safe,
Secure.
Feeling at home wherever you are.
And we'll leave this one more open-ended for your intuition,
Just asking your root chakra,
Is there a message for me now?
If ever you receive messages you don't understand,
Ask your intuition for clarity.
You can say in your mind's eye,
I don't understand.
Can you show me in a different way?
Or what does this mean?
There's always that option.
Beautiful.
I'm just going to sweep any heaviness down off the body.
And get it off your arms and hands,
Shake them out.
And let's do one more scan,
Just checking in.
So I'll let this be the dealer's choice.
You can use your hands to scan or your awareness.
Just checking the chakras that we were working on.
Noticing if there's any sensation change.
Trusting whatever you're feeling.
Okay,
Let's take this moment to ground and cleanse our energy.
So grounding first,
Connecting to the earth beneath you,
Feeling that pull to the earth,
Feeling the earth come up and meet you.
Bringing you fully to this moment,
Fully in your body.
Very important after this work.
The upper chakras get so activated using your intuition.
So we need to bring you back down to earth.
And visualizing or sensing a waterfall of light washing through your aura,
Through your body now,
Through the chakras as well.
Letting that light fill you up from your feet to the top of your head and out through your entire body.
Feel that now.
Filling your aura.
Full,
Vibrant light.
Ready for your day.
