Welcome.
I'm Rachel and I'll be your guide.
Begin by finding a comfortable seated position.
Sit tall.
Lengthen your spine.
Allow your shoulders to soften.
Let your arms relax beside you and your hands rest within your lap or upon your legs.
Close your eyes.
Bring your attention to your breath.
Observing its natural rhythm and pattern.
Notice the rise and the subtle fall.
As you bring your awareness to your breath,
Notice how it becomes intentional.
Keep tracing the ebb and flow as it expands into your body and gently softens outward.
There is nothing you need to change.
Nothing you need to fix.
Simply observe.
As your awareness settles onto the breath,
Automatic thinking begins to quiet.
Mental formations soften.
What remains is presence,
An alert openness,
Receptive stillness.
Welcome to this portal of presence,
A portal of awareness,
A portal of healing.
In this space,
Give yourself full permission to relax,
To attune to the subtle frequencies of energy that are always here deep within your soul center.
I simply act as a conduit,
An open channel for divine life force energy to travel through.
The vibrations of my words flowing in through the channel of your ears.
You are attuning to the higher frequencies of energy,
Aligning to your higher self.
Reiki is already flowing.
You do not have to try to do anything.
Just by being here,
Being present,
Staying open and receptive,
You are receiving.
Reiki is a gentle energy,
A loving intelligence.
It flows where it is meant to go.
It travels to the spaces within your body and mind that need it most.
Trust that your energy is receiving exactly what it needs.
You may experience this as sensations,
Warmth or coolness,
A tingling,
Pulsing,
Subtle vibration,
A sense of knowing that you are with presence,
Source energy.
You may feel very light or deeply grounded.
Perhaps you sense colors behind your closed eyes,
Images,
Memories,
Or simply peace and deep relaxation.
However it unfolds for you,
Allow it.
Rest in it.
Relish in it like an energy bath.
Now gently deepen your breath.
Inhale slowly.
Fill into your abdomen.
Watch it gently retreat back.
Feel the expansion of the belly grow with every in-breath and the subtle softening with every out-breath.
Imagine a white light of energy,
The center of your body.
A beautiful,
Translucent,
White,
Purifying light that radiates within your core center.
Let the belly inflate with air and light,
Stoking the light with every breath.
Witness each breath as an expansion of energy.
Pause and notice.
Keep growing this light from within.
Deep breath in,
Expanding up into your ribcage.
Let the light rise up into your heart space,
Filling your chest.
Hold for a moment,
Pause,
And then when you feel calm,
Slowly release.
Again,
Inhale,
Fill the belly,
Ribs,
Chest with radiant white glowing light,
Pause,
And a long,
Soft exhale,
Letting go.
With each inhale,
Imagine a purifying white light entering at the base of your spine.
Witness its radiant glow,
Rising up from the root,
Out through the crown of your head.
With each breath in,
This white light begins to rise,
Traveling slowly up your spine,
Illuminating each energy center,
Cleansing,
Clearing,
Restoring balance and harmony.
Feel it moving upward,
Luminous energy rising up past the heart,
The throat,
And as it reaches the crown,
It radiates outward,
Like a fountain of light,
Cascading around you.
You are cocooned in this radiant white energy,
As though you are enveloped by energy,
Surrounding you like a protective bubble,
A shield of energy.
Inside this auric realm,
You are being bathed by this pure white light of healing energy,
A field of divine,
Loving,
Nurturing vibration.
Let this light permeate every cell,
Every molecule,
Filtering through you on a deep,
Energetic level.
Remember,
Everything contains energy.
At the most subtle level,
All matter vibrates.
This life force,
This key flows through you constantly,
Offering insight and clarity,
Peace and balance,
Alchemizing your body back into alignment,
Harmony,
And deep relaxation.
Ray means spirit.
Key is that universal life force.
Together,
Reiki reminds you that you are spirit in human form,
Connected,
Supported,
Guided.
Imagine now that you are plugging into the present moment,
Like connecting a cord into a source of power.
As you attune to Reiki,
You align with your inner light,
Your inner self.
And as you clear stagnant energy from your field,
You recharge,
You strengthen your own vibration.
And from this place,
You then can radiate that outward.
When this aspect of you is balanced,
Everything else harmonizes.
We become aware that we are more than the things that come in and out of our lives.
We see that there is deeper meaning to life.
When we attune to these higher frequencies,
You come back home to your soul center.
You begin to receive messages,
Insight,
Clarity,
Emotions soften,
The mind becomes clear and calm,
The body relaxes.
You feel centered,
Connected,
At peace.
If any emotions arise,
Allow them.
If memories surface,
Let them move through like clouds passing in the sky,
Being witness to your experience.
We open the doors only to healing of the highest good.
We welcome only loving guidance,
Kindred spirits,
Angelic support,
The wisdom of your highest self.
Within your mind's eye,
I invite you to set an intention for this practice.
A prayer,
A wish for clarity,
Release,
Renewal,
Healing,
Whatever it may be that you are asking to receive in this moment.
And repeat gently within.
Thank you spirit for guiding me to this healing energy.
Thank you for allowing me to receive.
May this energy flow for the highest good.
Rest here for a few breaths,
Basking in the white radiant light.
Begin to come back to the physical awareness of your body here and now.
Let the light settle into your heart like a glowing ember that remains within you.
Bring awareness back to your natural breath,
Keeping your eyes closed,
Gently come back to the presence of the space around you.
Feel the surface beneath you.
And simply notice any subtleties and changes in your frequency from when you first began this practice.
Honoring that gentle transformation.
As we close we anchor into the Reiki principles taught by Sensei Usui,
The father of a form of energy medicine and spiritual practice known as Reiki.
He used just for today,
For each phrase,
As a reminder that not all days will be perfect.
But each day,
You can start anew.
You can use this and repeat this every morning before you start your day.
Just for today,
I shall not worry.
Just for today,
I shall not anger.
Just for today,
I will do my work diligently and honestly,
Whatever that work or Dharma may be.
Just for today,
I will be kind to myself and my neighbor.
Just for today,
I will be grateful for my many blessings.
Just for today.
Take one more final deep breath in.
And a slow,
Complete exhale out.
My wish for you is that Reiki continues to flow.
This energy remains within you.
All you have to do is attune to it and allow it to support you into whatever may come next.
May you walk in light,
Peace and presence.
Namaste.
