Reiki Healing Circle With Hands On Self Healing

Well,

Before we start,

For those of you who don't know me,

My name is Kazaia Gibbons.

My pronouns are she and her.

I'm a Reiki master,

A Reiki drum master practitioner,

And I teach the 21 Day Reiki Realization and Reiki Precepts courses here on Insight Timer.

I'm also an Insight Timer mentor.

And as some of you know,

I also offer Reiki One certification via mentorship for anyone who has completed both of the Reiki courses here.

So if you're interested in that,

Then have a look at my profile.

Apparently,

You can click on my profile picture and find the information there.

OK,

I'm going to slow down a bit now and take us into our,

I think it's going to be an empowerment today.

So an empowerment is your connection to Reiki.

So for those of you who are completely new to Reiki,

To describe it very,

Very briefly,

It is Universal Life Force Energy.

So this is energy work.

It works through the chakras,

The meridians,

All the parts of your energy body that any energy works with.

If you work with Ki or Chi or Prana or any other energy system,

Then you'll be familiar with the idea of moving energy through the body.

What's different with Reiki is that you're not really moving your own energy.

You are,

You're calling it in from source.

And I don't know what that source is.

I don't really need to know what that source is.

I know from my own practice,

From my experience that it's there and that it's something very,

Very special.

So that's what Reiki is.

And everyone has the capacity,

Obviously,

For energy healing.

You don't need anything special for that.

When you get an attunement or empowerment,

Which are different kinds of connection ritual from a Reiki master,

Which is just a Reiki teacher,

Then that's just an alignment of your energy so that you're ready to receive that energy from source on a much larger scale.

And then you can work with Reiki.

And we direct Reiki with our intention.

So I will guide you through all of that today.

For now,

I invite you to make yourself comfortable seated,

If that's available to you.

If you have any difficulty in sitting upright,

You can,

Of course,

Lie down or just do whatever's comfortable for you.

We're not insistent on being in the right position here.

So make yourself comfortable if it's available to you.

If you have the ability to bring your hands together in front of you and hold them in the gassho position,

Then please do that.

And just open yourself to receiving your connection to Reiki.

So setting your intention to become connected or more connected,

More open to Reiki.

And then bringing your awareness to that energy channel,

Which runs between the crown of your head and the base of your spine.

Now bringing your awareness to the crown of your head.

And now bringing your attention to your temples.

Bringing your awareness to your third eye.

Now bringing your awareness to your throat.

Bringing your attention now to your heart space.

Coming down now to your hands.

Okay.

Okay,

You're permanently connected to Reiki.

Your impelment is complete.

Okay,

So our next practice is going to be some hands-on healing.

It's going to be very,

Well,

Fairly short,

A couple of minutes in each position.

And we'll work down through the chakras,

Bringing energy down,

Grounding it.

As we work,

Our energy will become more balanced around our body.

If there is somewhere on your body that needs some attention,

That it's not going to be covered by the chakra hand positions,

Then of course you can place your hands there as well.

So what we'll be doing is using our hands to direct the Reiki energy.

Hands-on healing is one of the most common forms of using Reiki energy.

You don't have to use hands at all,

But it's a wonderful way of focusing your attention.

So again,

I invite you to be comfortable,

And perhaps if you've been sitting up,

Then you might allow yourself to lie down now and become comfortable.

Take some rest,

Receive this healing as a gift for you,

As something to keep you well rested.

So.

We'll be working from the energy centre called the Tanden.

So if you've done my course or you've been in this circle before,

You'll know this.

The Tanden is an energy centre that's about two finger widths below your belly button and a third of the way in.

So just sense into that area now.

And you might notice energy,

You might not notice anything,

That's okay.

Just sense into that area and we're going to use that as an anchor to bring the Reiki in and out through.

So.

I invite you to connect to Reiki or reconnect to Reiki or become aware once more of your connection to Reiki by bringing your hands together in the Gassho position,

If that's comfortable for you.

And then just inviting Reiki energy in and that's all you need to do is invite it.

And as you do so,

You might visualise or see a beautiful,

Maybe it's a sparkly energy coming down from source down through your crown to your Tanden.

You might feel it coming down through your crown to your Tanden or you might just know that it's there.

We're going to connect this now with the breath.

So with each in breath,

Inviting more Reiki energy down and in.

At the moment,

Just allowing it to build in the Tanden.

And then we're going to start with the crown chakra.

So if it's within your range of motion,

Bring your hands up to the crown of your head.

This is why it's sometimes useful to be lying down or leaning in an armchair because it just supports your arms.

Now bringing the Reiki energy in with each in breath down through your crown,

Down to your Tanden.

And with each out breath,

Using your intention to send it out through your hands and back into your crown.

And again,

If you'd like to visualise or use any other way to direct the energy,

You can just do that.

Coming down now to the area of your third eye.

So you might place your hands on your forehead,

On your face,

On your ears or temples,

Wherever is comfortable for you.

And once again,

With each in breath,

Inviting that Reiki energy down to your Tanden.

With each out breath,

Sending it out through your hands,

Through your third eye,

Knowing that it will go wherever it needs to within you.

Then bringing your hands to your throat,

So you might place them one at top of each other,

You might put them wherever is comfortable.

And once again,

Breathing in the Reiki energy down through your crown to your Tanden with each breath in.

And with each breath out,

Sending that Reiki energy through your hands to your throat wherever it needs to be.

And bringing your hands down to your heart,

Space,

Your chest,

Again,

Wherever is comfortable.

With each in breath,

You invite that sacred healing energy from source into your Tanden.

With each out breath,

Send that energy through your hand,

Sending healing throughout your heart,

Space and beyond.

Now bringing your hands down to your solar plexus,

So just below your ribcage.

Breathing Reiki energy into your Tanden,

Breathing it out through your hands to your solar plexus and beyond.

Now bringing your hands down to your abdomen about belly button height.

Breathing that Reiki energy in through your crown to your Tanden,

Breathing out directing it through your hands into your abdomen,

Knowing that it will go wherever it needs to go.

Then bringing your hands down to your root chakra,

So wherever is comfortable.

I would like to place my hands on one on each hip for this chakra.

Breathing Reiki energy in through your crown down to your Tanden,

Breathing out directing it through your hands wherever it needs to go.

Then finally releasing your hands,

Letting them hang loose or rest on your lap or by your side.

And imagining a flood of Reiki energy coming in through your crown and flowing through your body all the way down to your feet.

And as it comes it removes anything that no longer serves you and brings in fresh,

Gentle,

Healing energy.

And just feel your connection,

Whether it's your feet on the ground,

Seat where you're sitting,

The surface you're resting on.

Feel that connection with the earth and allow yourself to release anything that you might have shifted or let go of.

Just release it into the earth.

And then intending to release the flow of Reiki,

So letting go of any visualisation.

Coming back to this moment.

And you might just brush yourself down again just to smooth the energy off,

Let go of anything that you think everything should have gone away anyway.

Anything you don't want,

Just brush off and then giving thanks to the Reiki energy.

And that's our hands on practice.

How is everyone?

I say I'm feeling very relaxed on this end.

I allow myself to close my eyes for that last chakra and then realise that I should probably stay awake to guide the class,

So I had to open them again.

Lots of very relaxed,

Very calm,

Beautiful,

Wonderful energy,

Perfect.

Of course you can do that any time.

That particular hands on,

There's a similar guidance in the 21 day course that you can access.

And I might actually just make this a recording available on the free library.

I've been thinking about how to support the community in an ongoing practice when I do go on my summer break and I think maybe if I can release some of the recordings of the sessions,

Then that will be something that I can offer you during that time.

So I might do that as well.

So that you've got guidance available for you where you want to.

Jodie,

You're asking what if certain areas feel tender.

So I'm not sure if you mean they feel tender in general or when you're sending Reiki.

I would say that if you're wondering about whether to treat,

Whether to do hands on,

Or areas that are already feeling tender,

Then usually that's useful,

Yeah.

If they feel tender when you're directing energy through,

Then that may be that there might be some release going on there.

So sort of letting that,

Just letting that go,

Letting that happen and knowing that it will resolve itself very,

Very soon,

Usually within a few hours.

And let yourself rest.

Anybody who's at this session,

I would,

I mean,

I recommend rest anyway.

But you know,

After Reiki practice,

Rest is a great idea.

Seanard,

You're asking,

Could you have a table of contents on the 21 day course?

Because of the way Insight Time is set up,

It's not always easy to know which audio track is,

Which has what in it.

And I know this is an issue and it's something that I'm working with as well in the course that I'm writing at the moment,

Which I won't share with you just yet,

But I'm very excited to when I do.

And so the best thing that I can offer is that when you go on to the course,

In the top right hand corner of the screen,

You've got three dots.

If you,

If you tap on those three dots,

You'll get an option to go to course description.

And when you go to course description and scroll down,

Then you will see what every day is,

The name of the session,

A short description of each session.

And so that's there.

And I've written it as best I can to so that you know what's in there.

And I think in the 21 day one,

It even says how long each session is so that you can plan around it.

So,

So that is that's how you find out what's what's in the courses.

Paula,

You say you'll be completing the 21 day course today with another healing or should you wait till tomorrow?

Entirely up to you.

There's no reason you shouldn't do that.

So,

You know,

If you have time and space to enjoy that,

Then then,

Yeah,

Go ahead and do session 21,

Which is a healing from me.

So in session 21,

In celebration of all the work that participants in the course have done over the previous 20 days,

A lot of work,

A lot of directing of their own intention.

Session 21 is just a healing from me where you sit back,

Relax and allow yourself to receive.

So that's that's the session,

Paula.

Maggie,

You did level two many years ago and you're now back to Reiki.

I'm really glad that that brings you back to Reiki.

I myself started Reiki probably about 20 years ago now.

I can't remember the exact year,

But more or less that.

I left it for a few years and came back to it.

And I know that's not an unusual route through Reiki.

So,

You know,

It is OK to go away and come back.

It is OK to come back at any point.

OK,

So we're going to our third practice of third and final practice,

Which is the shared,

The distant healing.

Deborah,

You're asking what's the best way to begin to learn about Reiki?

I'm going to I'm going to plug myself here and say do the 21 day course.

That is I did write that with the intention of being that being open to beginners to to learn about Reiki and to people to returning or people with experience as well.

And there's also a list of recommended resources in there because,

Of course,

I'm not the only Reiki teacher.

I have something to offer.

So so those the recommended resources in there are all really good as well or somewhere to go.

OK,

So we'll now go into our distant healing.

So before we start the healing,

There are a couple of a couple of notes about our ethics of practice,

How we use our intention for distant healing.

So firstly,

There's the issue of of consent and energetic consent.

So,

You know,

It may be tempting to give healing to anyone that we think needs healing and they may need healing and they may want it.

And,

You know,

We may have an opportunity to be in touch with them and ask,

Is this is it OK?

Can I send you healing?

Would you like some?

And more often than not,

In my experience,

The answer is yes,

I would love that.

So,

You know,

It's it's not a bad idea to be in touch with anyone you want to send healing to.

And also,

Sometimes we can't have those conversations for whatever reason.

And in that case,

Because we direct Reiki with our intention,

What we do and I'm setting this intention now for our healing circle.

What we do is we set our intention that they are free to energetically accept or reject the healing.

So we're not pushing it on anyone.

We're not forcing it on anyone there.

We can we trust that their energy system,

If it's really not what they need,

We'll just go,

No,

And and and they won't get it.

And we have to be OK with that.

And also,

When we send healing to to anyone to to ourselves as well,

Anyone we're treating distant or in person,

Then there is a consideration about what our intention is to heal.

So it might be someone who has a health condition or is going through a really hard time or whatever it is.

And and so the instinct is to is to want to fix that problem for them,

To heal that particular thing.

And it's a good instinct.

It comes from a place of love.

However,

We don't know what's going on with that.

So if we if we intend instead that they receive what they need and trust the Reiki to go where it needs to go,

Then we're not limiting it to just that one thing that we think is is the problem or or they think it's a problem.

Because,

You know,

We may not know what's best for them.

They may not know what's best for them,

But the Reiki will go where it needs to go.

And we can ensure that by intending that they receive what they need.

So that is the other the other thing to bear in mind in our intention.

So we'll go into the practice now.

So,

Again,

Be comfortable.

Actually,

I'm just going to answer this question from Nandini.

What about energy exchange?

Is it essential to have an energy exchange?

I'm not sure what specifically you mean,

Nandini,

By energy exchange.

I believe we're all exchanging energy.

We're all interconnected.

And and we're all part of the same energy system.

It's a it's an illusion to think that we're all individuals and we all have a certain amount of energy that belongs to us.

And if we give it to them.

So what I'm trying to say,

I suppose,

Is that energy exchange is always happening.

And at the same time,

We don't need to.

Energy exchange for the Reiki,

Because the Reiki is not ours,

It's just coming through us.

And the right balance of energy will happen.

So,

You know,

You might spend some time,

Some focus giving healing to someone.

You might not immediately receive something back,

But eventually you will.

And it might not even come from that person.

So so it's not essential to have an energy exchange if I've understood what you mean by that correctly.

OK,

So let's go into our into our practice.

So here we are in this virtual space.

There are 93 of us here and we're all across the world and we have this magic which connects us into a virtual space.

So we're already in circle together and we're also energetically in circle together.

And that's what we're going to use to do our distant healing today.

So I'll invite you to connect to the circle through your hands if hands work is OK for you.

So you might place your hands on your device.

You might point them towards your device,

Whatever is comfortable for you,

Using the device to energetically connect into our circle.

So now's the time,

If there is,

If there has been anything else open to close it so that we have a nice,

A nice,

Clean connection.

So using your device to to connect into a circle.

And once again,

We're going to use our Tanden,

That energy center just below and behind the belly button,

As a focus to bring the energy through.

And we're also going to anchor this to our breath.

So I invite you to imagine,

To intend,

To manifest on your next in-breath,

A beautiful,

Gentle,

Golden,

Healing light coming in with your breath through your crown,

Down to your Tanden.

And with your out-breath,

Sending that golden healing energy out through your hands,

Through your device,

Into our circle.

And just keep that going with every breath,

Breathing that golden energy in with each in-breath.

With each out-breath,

Sending it through your hands,

Through your device,

Into our circle,

Into the space held by our circle.

And knowing that energy is building there,

So as the energy each of us brings meets the circle,

It's amplified until we have an infinite healing pool of this golden healing energy.

We've been tending this pool between us for some time now.

And then we're going to use this pool to send healing where it needs to go.

So if there's someone you wish to send healing to,

You might say their name.

You might visualize them stepping into the golden pool of healing energy.

And you might type their name in the comments.

And I know there are a few people I've been sending healing to since the last circle that we had,

Some of them from the circle here on Insight Timer.

So I include all those people as well.

So focusing on where you want to send the distant healing.

Continuing to breathe this healing golden energy in with each in-breath.

Out with each out-breath.

Into the circle,

Into a pool of energy,

Knowing that it's going where it needs to go.

And then if you wish for healing for yourself,

Why not give yourself permission to receive as well.

You can also place a hand somewhere on yourself.

Continue to breathe that golden energy in through your crown to your tendon.

Out through your hands,

Into both the circle and yourself.

Knowing that that healing is going to every participant in the circle,

Every person,

Being,

Place that they're sending healing to.

And also that you're receiving as well.

And we'll keep that up for just a few more seconds.

And then releasing the flow of energy,

So releasing that visualisation of the golden energy.

Allowing your breathing to return to normal.

Giving thanks to the Reiki energy,

Intending that this healing is long-lasting,

Will continue for as long as it's needed.

And then letting go of that energy,

Sort of breaking the connection.

And again,

If you want to brush yourself down,

Then you can do that,

Release that energy.

So that's our practice for today.

I love watching the comments in all of your pictures when we're in circle.

I do feel very connected to all of you and I see so much connection going on as well in the comments.

So thank you to everyone who has participated.

A reminder,

If you do want to do Reiki 1 before September,

Then now's a good time to.

If you want to do Reiki 1 with me,

That is,

There are other places.

But if you do,

Then now's a good time to book.

I've got a handful of sessions at this time of day and a handful more a little bit earlier in the day,

In my early afternoon,

But at the same time as the tarot lines are.

So,

Yeah,

So much gratitude,

So much love to you all.

If you're not in Kasia's circle,

Then please come and join the circle.

It's wonderful.

There are lots of really amazing people in there that,

Yeah,

It's a joy to be connected with.

You're also welcome in any of my course classrooms.

I have the two Reiki ones,

A Tarot one,

Intuition one.

So,

Yeah,

Have a lovely rest of your day,

Your evening,

Your,

Yeah,

Have a lovely week.

Why not?
