Once you start giving reiki you just sort of know how to do it.

Would that be accurate?

The truth is, you start to develop a very subtle intention or belief that the energy will flow. You learn to let go. You learn to allow the energy to flow. It is not a forced thing.

Giving reiki with your eyes is fairly staright forward. Let’s start by saying that.

But, you need to be able to have the same confidence the energy will flow, as you do when you put your hands of someone. So, it is adviseable to start with hands on reiki healing, then experiment with giving reiki with your eyes.

The key to giving reiki with your eyes is to relax your focus and let the object come to you. Easier said than done, take it from me.

And, this is where reiki training really starts to be training in energy awareness. Because as you start to do this you will start to see that normally your energy goes out from you, like reaching out into the world.

You want to keep your personal ki, in your hara, and not go out to the objects. You want them to come to you.

If you can manage this. You are doing pretty well. Let me just say that.

But, with a little perseverence and effort there is not anyone that would not be able to master this.

By keeping your energy centered and by letting the light of the objects come to you, you will allow the reiki, which is naturally wanting to go out (for want of a better way of putting it.. because reiki is technically not out there, not in here, not both, not neither.. now doesn’t that just bake your noodle a little!).. like the saying about God just waiting for you to open the door.. you just need to knock.. or something like that (my brain is a little cooked today!).

Reiki is able to flow because you are not in the way. You are not trying to control your awareness or your attention. So, the more subtle aspects of your awareness can shine through. In this case we are giving it the label reiki.
