This session reminds us of who and what we are made of. This guided reiki session can be practiced by both practitioners and non-practitioners. Laying hands upon the body for the purpose of healing and balancing the energy.

Transcript

Welcome to day 8 of our self reiki journey.

Today we'll practice drawing the light in through our crown,

Offering reiki back to ourselves using a practice called Honu no Reiko.

This practice involves acknowledging this spiritual light that resides within and around us and really honoring that light,

Really feeling it.

We'll use visualization or imagination,

Which is really important when we start out practicing reiki because it reprograms the mind to let go of doubt and fear and worry and to start focusing on building healing and health.

Not worrying about cause or effect,

Just focusing on healing itself.

So do come to sit,

Relax your hands at your knees and take three deep breaths.

Emptying out your breath here,

Bringing your palms together into Gesho.

Close your eyes.

Take a soft bow.

For only today I will not anger.

For only today I will not worry.

For only today I will do my work honestly.

For only today I will be grateful.

For only today I will be compassionate to myself and others.

Notice how these precepts affect you.

Every time I repeat them before my reiki practice,

It feels like a freshness,

A newness,

Something uplifting comes over me.

There's definitely a reason why Mikau Usui,

The founder of reiki,

Advised us to repeat these daily.

Now we'll move into dry bathing.

Place your right palm to your left shoulder,

Swiping downward and across to the right hip with an exhale as if you were sweeping away anything stagnant.

Repeat this on the other side,

Left hand to right shoulder.

Sweep down and across to your left hip and sweep away,

Repeating one more time,

Right palm to left shoulder,

Down and across.

Then lay your right arm out,

Palm up,

And sweep from your right shoulder down to your fingertips,

Flicking the left fingertips as if you were letting water drips fly off your fingertips.

Do the same on the left side,

Right palm to left shoulder,

Swiping down,

Flicking with the right fingertips.

One more time on the right side,

We repeat the right side twice.

As you complete your dry bathing,

Bring the palms together in front of the heart again.

Our truth rests in the stars.

The eternal codes of nature embedded in the fabric of our existence have cradled our sweet mother earth for more than four billion years.

And as human civilization took its very first baby steps,

Which was less than 10,

000 years ago,

Ancient sages and rishis and seers and healers have revealed this undeniable connection between those forces of nature and sacred transformational powers that rest within human beings.

Modern astrology confirms that the same ingredients that made up the galaxies are the same ones that ripple through our own bodies.

We are stardust.

And I know that sounds maybe a little kooky.

But the truth is that almost everything on earth was created in the heart of a star.

We've all heard of the term supernova,

Which is what happens at the end of a star's lifetime.

It explodes.

And that resulting nuclear blast,

It releases all these elements that rest at its core,

Hydrogen,

Helium,

Oxygen,

Carbon,

Iron,

Nickel,

All the stuff that makes up life on earth on this planet and our bodies.

We really don't need to be scientists or experts in nucleosynthesis or stellar theory or gravity to grasp this concept that everything resting at the soul of the universe is also resting at the center of life on earth and at the very center of your own being.

The exact same elements in the heart of a star flow through every single plant,

Fish,

Tree,

Ocean,

Mountain,

Bird,

Animal,

Human.

You are stardust.

Breathing stardust.

Your heart is stardust.

Reading stardust.

Your ears are stardust,

Listening to stardust.

And your brain is stardust,

Thinking stardust every moment.

Stardust.

I tell you this to help you to connect to the truth of what and who you are.

This is there's properties of physics and properties of mathematics that hold the stars apart,

The planets in orbit,

Our world from spinning out of control.

There's even more powerful principles that exist within us that hold our personal universe together.

These sacred powers of transformation.

Once you can grasp these sacred powers,

Embrace them and kind of awaken them within ourselves,

We realize that we can use them in every moment to ground us and strengthen us,

Help us to make better decisions,

Help us to heal our relationships and just move us towards our best self.

And even though we might not be aware of this in every moment of our lives,

These subtle vibrations that exist,

It's like a song that continues to play in the background and any time we want to tune into it,

We have the power to because it weaves through our consciousness,

Through our awareness in every interaction and every conversation we have.

And when we're fully aligned with this rhythm,

This existence,

Our minds can be clear,

Our words can be bright,

Our actions can be masterful and purposeful and compassionate,

Our hearts peaceful.

This is the process of returning to wholeness.

Returning to this stillness within,

Aligning our heartbeat with the heartbeat of the universe.

Bring your palms to your knees.

Tap into your breath.

Imagine before you a huge mountain,

The biggest mountain that you have ever seen,

The biggest mountain you could possibly imagine.

And just keeping with your breath.

Imagine that you're sitting all the way at the very top.

And as you sit at the very top of this giant mountain,

Feel how small and tiny you are compared to this huge grand mountain.

Being a glance up at the sky above you noticing a few birds perhaps or some clouds,

The color of the sky.

Notice how is the clouds pass in front of the sun,

How glorious they look,

The sun leaking through them,

How heavenly that is.

Keep breathing.

And on your next inhale,

I want you to pull the sunlight into your body.

Let it fill you from the inside out.

And on your exhale,

Let this light burst through your skin,

Through every pore and radiate out in all directions.

So on the inhale breath,

You feel the sun rays filling your body.

Wherever the sun can touch,

It soaks right into your center and fills you up.

And on your exhale,

More of that light from within you now bursts through the skin.

You notice this light shining beyond your body radiating around you.

And stay with this.

Inhaling light comes in,

Fills you.

Feeling the light moves out beyond your aura,

Expanding your energy field.

Keep breathing.

Keep moving with this visual.

Filling on the inhale,

Visualizing the inner parts of your body,

The spaces between organs,

The skin,

The tissues,

And the bone,

Cartilage,

Blood,

Space in your lungs.

Filling with this light all the way to the tips of each of your toes,

All the way to the tips of each of your fingers on the in breath.

And on your exhale,

Pushing this light outwards in all directions overhead towards the earth,

Back behind you,

Forward in front of you and out to the sides,

Radiating this beautiful bright glow in all directions.

Creating this huge and powerful energy field.

Clearing and cleansing your energy,

Your aura,

Anything that doesn't need to be there.

Clearing any holes,

Patching things up,

Removing any negativity,

Protecting you.

Feel now as you continue with this visual,

The light beaming out through your palms,

Which is where we direct when we offer reiki to ourselves and others.

Filling up on the in breaths.

Imagining a light shining from the palm chakras.

Maybe you feel a tingling,

A heat,

A texture,

A warmth,

A coolness in your palms now.

Internally just say reiki on.

It's all it takes.

Affirm I trust.

I trust the universe.

I trust that I am divinely guided.

I trust in my body's healing abilities.

And bring your palms up to cover the eyes.

Pressing the hands into the face and just holding for a moment.

Here we are cleansing our eyes with reiki because everything that we take in comes in through our senses and often much of it through our eyes into our subconscious mind where it's then stored.

So anything that we've seen,

Read,

Interpreted that has caused us anxiety or fear,

Any kind of disharmony that sits in our subconscious is just clearing out right now.

Breathe.

Feeling the warmth of your hands soaking into your skin.

And we'll move on.

Bring your hands to your forehead and the base of your skull.

One hand over your forehead,

One hand at the base of the skull.

Stay rooted in your breath,

Calming the mind,

The nervous system.

And adjusting the hands over the temples.

You can hover the hands or touch the palms to the sides of the head.

Calm the mind here.

Reconnecting neurotransmitters that may have become damaged through stress or trauma.

Refocusing the mind.

Taking the hands,

The sides of the neck,

Offering reiki to the throat,

Inviting tension to leave this area.

Release toxins.

Release negativity.

And then taking your hands down,

Placing them over the heart.

Step into your breath here,

Connecting to your inner being,

To love consciousness.

As the heart pumps blood,

This light that blood has been infused with now travels everywhere in your body,

Cleansing and purifying and creating more harmony.

And then taking your hands down,

Placing them over the head,

Offering reiki to the throat,

And then bringing your hands to your rib cage.

Feeling the rise and the fall of the rib cage as you breathe.

And then our final position today,

Placing the hands just two inches below the belly button to the earth key.

This is what keeps us grounded and connected to Mother Earth,

Which is important to keep stress and anxiety under control.

Just simply visualizing light emanating from your palms.

Relax.

Step into your breath,

Grounding.

Bring your palms now back to your heart,

To gassho.

Take a moment to yourself,

Repeating,

I am light.

I am light.

I am light.

Remembering that everything in nature is moving to the same primal beat,

The beat of the universe.

And even though we might not hear it in every moment,

That vibration and expansion plays through every cell of our existence,

Creating the soundtrack of our life,

Weaving through our consciousness.

And just like keeping the beat of a song allows you to sing along and dance to it or hum to it even when it's not playing,

When you're aligned to this flow of the sacred powers that exist within and around you,

Your life moves to it.

You speak from it,

You move from it,

You align from it,

And that is the process of returning to wholeness.

I thank you for reconnecting to this for the day today.

May this practice serve you and namaste.
