Hello,
My name is Eden and I am a therapist,
Reiki teacher,
And meditation guide.
Now whether you've found this meditation through one of my Reiki courses or just through the web of life,
Welcome.
These meditations are intended to deepen your relationship to your intuition and gifts,
And facilitate an understanding of your own internal landscape.
Each meditation is also a tool that can be offered to yourself or a client,
So I invite you to notice what shifts within you before,
During,
After,
Beyond the meditation,
Cataloging the effects with words and feelings and sensations,
Just letting yourself take note.
Allow it to be personal and universal.
Let's begin.
And today we are going to practice sending distance Reiki to a friend or a family member.
And traditionally,
In a distance Reiki practice,
We want to be sure that we have the consent of the other person receiving,
And that it's okay for us to read their energy,
To perceive,
To move into their energetic space.
So if you need to take a moment now to get that confirmation,
Please do.
And then we'll begin.
So wherever you are,
Just finding some stillness in your body,
Finding a long spine,
Letting the eyes gently close,
Deep breath in,
Long slow breath out,
Letting there be no rush,
Nowhere to be.
Just letting yourself somehow settle into the present moment a little bit more.
Maybe that's relaxing the physical body.
Maybe that's drawing your attention to your breath even more.
Maybe that's imagining leaving all of the day at the door.
Being right here.
Letting yourself be so present.
This is the space where we can start to perceive these subtle bodies,
These subtle energies.
We have to slow down.
We have to be here in order to pick up on anything else that is also here.
So go ahead and in whatever way is true for you,
Just gently usher in the Reiki symbols.
Taking time to really feel each one arrive in this space.
Letting your sense of each symbol be different.
Letting yourself notice how each one imbues something into this energetic container that you are in through this intention.
With distance Reiki,
There are many different methods to perceive someone else's energy who is not in your physical space.
You could gaze at a photo of them.
You could use a teddy bear or some other stuffed animal to represent their body.
You could use your body as a surrogate.
But today we're just going to focus on this fourth option of imagining that they are in front of you.
Just imagining their presence is right here.
Maybe they are laying down.
Maybe they are seated facing you or away.
Just letting that visual come in somehow of that person being right here with you.
And wherever they are,
Just starting to move your own hands so that they rest around this person.
Settling into their aura.
Floating above or around their body.
And letting your hands be still as you hold this imaginal visual.
Breathing slow and low.
And starting to just allow your hands to move into their energy.
Can you soften your own physicality so much that your hands start to move in their own energy system?
Perceiving their energy body.
Maybe your fingers and palms start to heat or pick up a texture or a flow.
Getting sensitive here.
Allowing yourself to perceive something.
And allowing your hands to just move wherever they are led.
Taking note of anything that you perceive.
Taking note.
And maybe as your hands move or receive these inputs,
These textures,
These visualizations or ideas.
Maybe you start to ask the energy,
What do you need in this moment to adjust to a more supportive baseline?
And maybe an answer floats into your mind.
Maybe an idea floats into your mind.
For example,
If you're perceiving a sort of whirlpool of energy.
And your hands are moving around in a circle fairly quickly.
Maybe this energy answers your question great.
And maybe you just consider what a whirlpool might need in order to settle.
You could try ushering this energy in the opposite direction and seeing if that shifts the momentum in the energy body.
You could try to let it settle out,
Moving your hands away from this center.
Or maybe you perceive some sort of block underneath the whirlpool in this eddy,
This block in the river that creates these circulations.
And maybe you try to excavate that thing.
Remembering that no answers are wrong.
It's an invitation to listen even deeper,
To soften,
To open,
And then to try.
To try to offer the system something new in a way that feels natural to you.
Maybe it's purely visual in your mind's eye of trying to bring in a different light or texture or sensation.
Maybe it's purely in the hands,
Moving the hands around and in.
Maybe you even just stay beaming Reiki energy,
The hands finding stillness,
Imagining this universal life force energy moving through you from the ethers,
Through your palms,
Into their system.
Trusting that this energy will travel wherever it needs to,
To adjust their energy body towards a more supportive system.
We'll take a longer bout of silence here to continue sitting with what you perceive,
Any needs that come up.
And then doing your best to offer that need to the system in your own way.
Releasing any self-doubt,
Continuing to breathe low and slow,
Keep going.
Making any final adjustments or movements or visualizations here.
And then gently letting that focus go,
Taking just another moment here to send this person love and care.
Maybe letting the corners of your mouth turn up gently,
Tapping into your love for them,
Letting that be just as present as their energy as your own.
And then gently letting that visualization of the person go,
Completely thanking them.
Deep breath in,
Long breath out.
We release the symbols.
We release the space.
And we slowly,
Gently return into this space,
Our own space,
Now.
And as you consider what you just previously experienced with this person,
I invite you to consider how you might project this message to them in a way that is invitational and curious and full of care.
And offering this to them when you leave this space.
Welcome back and go forth.
