Does your reiki space help your healing?

Do you start feeling like you are closer to your healing path when you enter your reiki space?

It is really good if you do.

Here are some of the things we have found that help promote healing and make our reiki space a healing space.

# Only use it for reiki

There seems to be a cumulative effect from the practise of reiki healing. That is why it is so good if you are able to give yourself reiki everyday. Even for just 10 minutes.

And one of the amazing things about reiki (especially when you first encounter it..) is that not only is it REAL (lol..) but that it works! And it works for that matter on both people and things.

The more you give reiki in a particular space of your house or clinic. The more the space will come into balance with the deeper healing rythmns of the universe.

# Bring your game face

(you can see I used to play alot of sport when I was younger!)

This is a good one though. When you come to give yourself reiki, someone else, something else (a situation perhaps via distant healing) or put some time into gentle sitting meditation, it is really good if you can bring an intention to do just that. Or better yet the intention to give an honest effort/ best effort (to avoid self critism, blame or guilty feelings on those ineviatable days when we have trouble motivating ourselves for the greater good.. which otherwise you might find yourself doing nothing instead! which would be not so good)

So much of the time we find ourselves thinking or worrying over other things during the times we put aside for spiritual training. And really that is what it is.. training. No one is supposed to be all enlightened and perfect already. We are just working towards healthier selves and happier minds.. so we can be of greater benefit. Well at least that is how I think about it.

If you can keep your mind on reiki, when you are in your reiki space, that will create a better healing space.

# Incense, crystals, water fountains and music

Be creative in your healing space. (Which mind you, does not have to stop here.. it can.. and is best.. if it spills out into your whole life.. imagine that! your whole life as a healing space!)

Anyway.

Using things that inspire you, and bring you closer to your healing path is a sacred way of creating a healing space. It is the general idea around altars in most wisdom traditions. The idea being that the external objects of veneration or admiration bring you back to a rythmn of thinking that is in line with the motivations and inspirations of you spiritual path.

One of the great things about reiki is that it is not all caught up in dogma and sectarianism. So, people have the freedom to use whatever things speak to them. And they can come from anywhere.

Usually, after giving yourself reiki regularily for a year or so, you will start to notice things that speak to your heart more easily.

Tibetan things, American indian themes, Aboriginal, whales, rainbows, Africa, water, clouds, Taoism, whatever..

I encourage you to use whatever you find helps you get into your reiki mindset. Personally, I like Tara Healing Incense alot. That really lifts any negativity (lack of constructive thinking is probably more accurate) from my mind.

# Give reiki to the healing space

Heal the healing space.

Just by practising reiki in your chosen healing space will bring it into balance with the deeper healing rythmns of the universe, but to also treat the space directly with reiki is great.

You can do this in the traditional way. But putting the Choco (I am not going to say that mantra, because if you have the 2nd level reiki empowerment you know what I am talking about, and if you do not then you need to have it to be able to treat the space this way. If not, never fear, the next paragraph is for you) symbol in the corners and the doorways, then the SayHey symbol in the center of the space and then sending reiki to that symbol. Finally, you finish by putting the Choco symbol over the SayHey and giving thanks for the blessings.

If you do not have the 2nd level reiki training, or you might prefer this method just cause (I prefer it, actually, and use this method the most.. but that might be because I am lazy sometimes too!).

You just need to bring your mind to thinking about treating the healing space with reiki. And then sit in reiki meditation. Focussing you attention of the reiki in your body. And letting it get stronger and stronger, and go out to heal the space. Like lightening a dark room. (That is a good visualisation if you like visualising. You can practise seeing the room in your minds eye as changed from darkness to daylight)
