Welcome. Take a moment to find a position that feels supportive for your body. Maybe you're lying comfortably on your side or sitting upright with soft cushions behind you. Gently adjust your body until you feel no pressure anywhere. Let your body be supported, Let your shoulders soften and when you feel ready allow your eyes to close or lower your gaze softly. Take a slow breath in through the nose and a gentle exhale that melts tension away. Let every breath be an invitation into stillness. Bring your awareness to the points of contact between your body and the surface beneath you. Notice where your body is being held, Allow yourself to feel that support as if the ground beneath you is gently rising to meet you, Holding you so effortlessly. You don't need to hold yourself up here, You can let go and as you settle I begin to offer distant reiki healing to you now. Soft warm supportive energy gently meeting you wherever you are, Flowing across time and space. Bring your awareness to the top of your head without needing to change anything, Just notice. Notice any sensations, Warmth, Coolness, Tingling or even the absence of sensation. Let your awareness slowly drift down to your forehead, Softening the space between your brows, Let your eyes rest heavy in their sockets, Soft and relaxed. Unclench your jaw, Allow a small space between your teeth, Let your tongue rest naturally in your mouth. Bring awareness to your neck, The front, The sides, The back, If there's any tightness here, Just notice it without needing to fix it. Sometimes simply being aware is enough for the body to begin softening. Let your shoulders drop and as your body softens, Reiki continues to flow gently through you, Meeting tension without effort, Supporting release in its own time. As you rest here, Begin to notice the rhythm of your breath in your body, Maybe you feel it in your chest or your belly, There's no right place. Imagine your breath as a gentle wave moving through you with each inhale a soft expansion and with each exhale a natural release without forcing anything, Just allowing. If it feels right, You might begin to sense that your exhale is slightly longer than your inhale, This signals safety to your nervous system, A quiet message that you can soften. Reiki is flowing through within this rhythm, Like a steady quiet presence helping the body unwind. Bring awareness to your chest, Notice the rise and fall, The space around your heart, If there's any tightness, Heaviness or emotion here, Just allow it to be, You don't need to change it, Let your breath gently move through this space. Reiki gently rests here too, Softening what is held, Supporting ease without pressure. Now your awareness moves down to your belly, May your belly be soft, Completely relaxed, There's nothing to hold in, Nothing to brace against, Just softness. Reiki flows here as well, Gentle, Steady, Allowing. As you continue to rest, You may begin to notice sensations in your body, A gentle pulsing, Warmth, Shifting, Maybe even a sense of energy moving, This is your nervous system unwinding, You don't need to do anything, Just let it happen. If you notice areas that feel tight or activated, Just bring your awareness there softly, Imagine your breath flowing into that space, Like you're creating space from the inside. Reiki is meeting you here, Not changing anything, Just supporting what is already ready to release. So bring your awareness down to your hips, Let them feel heavy, Supported, Your thighs softening, Your knees releasing, Your calves, Your ankles, And finally your feet, Notice the weight of your heels, The soles of your feet, Allowing everything to drop. Feel Reiki energy gently grounding through the lower body, Slowly, Steady, Calm and supportive. Now begin to sense your whole body at once, From head to toe, Notice the aliveness within you, And also the growing sense of stillness, Let your body be exactly as it is, Nothing to fix, Nothing to change, Just resting, Held in your own awareness, And supported by distant Reiki healing energy. As you continue to breathe gently, Imagine your body wrapped in a soft, Calm presence, Like a quiet, Steady energy that surrounds you, Moves through you, With every breath out, Your body softens deeper, Your muscles unwind, Your nervous system begins to settle, Deeply at rest, And you're just spending some time here in stillness, There's nothing you need to focus on, Feeling supported, Held and safe, If your mind drifts, That's okay, Just allow yourself to rest here, There's nothing more you need to do, Nowhere you need to go, Your body can continue to soften, Your breath can stay slow and natural, And your nervous system can keep unwinding in its own time, In its own way, If sleep comes, You can let yourself drift, If you are remaining aware, Just resting in this quiet space is enough, Your body knows exactly what it needs, Everything we've offered here continues to integrate, Gently, Naturally, Even as you rest, Even as you sleep, You are safe to let go, You are safe to soften, You are safe to rest deeply, So just staying here, Held, Supported, And at ease, I'll leave you here to rest, Namaste.
