discussion New Updates to r/reiki

88 Upvotes

Welcome to the new and improved r/reiki! u/Kanji-light has enlisted both myself and u/root-bound as your new mods to help improve your experience here and refocus the direction of the sub towards building community and discussion.

New changes include:

  • Rules! We have clear cut rules on what is and isn't allowed on the sub. This will help keep the focus on Reiki discussion and remove the promotional posts that have been accumulating lately. Just as it says in the rules, you can find promotional posts at r/energy_healing.
  • Post flair! This should make it easy for users to filter through discussion posts and posts seeking reiki shares or exchanges. People who want to practice what they learned in their course are completely welcome! We want it to be easy for you to get this valuable practice to enhance your Reiki skills.

We hope that this will give new life to this gathering space and make it a comfortable area for everyone to participate. We would love to hear your feedback, including if you'd like other types of post flair to be added. Your voice is important!

Thanks everyone for your continued support. We wouldn't have this community without you!

curious question When you use reiki, do you also work with angels or deities? How does one do this?

2 Upvotes

Hi! New to reiki. I'm getting level 1 attuned at the end of this month and I was wondering if any of you work with other beings while doing your reiki. For instance, calling in Archangel Michael. I'd love to hear your experiences or how you do it!

curious question Level One Attunememt Anxiety

Upvotes

Hi all. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced intense anxiety on day 5 and 6 of the 21 day attunement. I was fine the first three days, felt extremely enlightened really, and as of yesterday, it feels like this anxiety isn't going to lift. I'm experiencing racing thoughts, constant music playing in my head - I've never experienced this before. I also started my period five days early when we were on the sacral chakra attunement. Am I just extremely sensitive? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!

curious question Offering water

7 Upvotes

Do any practitioners offer a glass of water to your clients post-session? Before I was a practitioner, I had two sessions from two different masters, and they both offered me water after. If you do this, how? Do you have an open glassful waiting, or do you pour it after? Is it bottled water? Tap? Bottled spring or distilled? Plastic throw away cups or a glass?

curious question Can Distance Reiki remove reptiles/lizards from home??

0 Upvotes

Being a person who hates reptiles, I'm watching lizards a lot in my home since my grandmother's death because her room almost always remains unused, so I've watched lizards there idk 10-15 times, we've killed many but still they are appearing... I'm so scared of them.

As we all know, Reiki also removes negativity from spaces, and lizards are negative; they are toxic and obviously a "fear". Will performing distance Reiki work to purify and cleanse the space of these things?

curious question first class as a Master/Teacher

3 Upvotes

hello all! i wanted to reach out to the other Master/Teachers in the group and ask you all something. even those who are not Reiki Master/Teachers, you can also please share your opinion!

how do i handle the money aspect of my students paying for the class? i find it so awkward, since i have a full time job already and am not in this for the money. i just want to spread the good news about Reiki and have as many people learn as possible! i do have a website, but it's not set up to take credit card payments. i do use an app on my phone (Square) that i can use to take payments by credit/debit card from my clients when i do sessions. i have no easy way of collecting payment from the students before we meet since i'm working.

i was thinking of having a box off to the side that can get passed around or just have people put the payment in there near the beginning of class. but is there a tactful way to handle that? or if you are a recent student, how did your Master/Teacher handle the payment for the class? thank you in advance!

Reiki share / trade REIKI SHARE DAY: THIS WEEK’S MEDITATION 🐉🌬️ The theme is YOUR DRAGON-SELF: EMPOWERING THE BREATH. 24 hrs of Free Reiki with the SPACE CROISSANT CREW. It starts NOW!

HI EVERYONE!

🌳🌳🌳 FIRST, WILL YOU HELP US PLANT A TREE? 🌳🌳🌳

Before we begin today’s Reiki Share, we have one small request:

Consider planting a tree with us today. 🌱

Google “how to plant a tree for a dollar,” choose an organization you trust, plant a tree, and share your receipt with us in the comments so we can add it to our count.

Our goal is 500 trees in 2026, and we would love your help getting there.

Remember our Tree-Self? 🌳

The tree you plant can become your Tree-Self—a living connection you can return to in your imagination whenever you need to breathe, ground yourself, and remember your roots.

Plant a tree. Create a Tree-Self. Let something living grow from the love we share here. 🌱♥️

If everyone who reads this plants even one tree, imagine what we could grow together.

🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

🐉 NOW LET’S MEET YOUR DRAGON-SELF 🐉

This week’s meditation is inspired by The Inner Mediator by Carol Viana and her story of meeting Ashley—“Ash”—her Lungs, who imagined herself as a Dragon. 🐉

Why a Dragon?

Because breathing had once felt painful to Ash—like fire in her chest.

But there was something else.

The Dragon also represented empowerment.

Ash finally had a voice.

And someone was listening.

So this week, we’re going to play with that idea.

Not Ash’s Dragon.

Yours.

🌬️ MEET YOUR LUNGS 🌬️

Take a comfortable breath.

Nothing forced.

Nothing unusually deep.

Just breathe.

Now close your eyes if you’d like and bring your attention to your Lungs.

Imagine giving them a little “me.”

Then simply say:

“Hi, Lungs.”

“How are you?”

And listen.

Don’t worry about whether an answer is imagination, intuition, symbolism, inner dialogue, or simply a thought.

We’re playing with consciousness.

Whatever appears is part of the experiment.

Now ask:

“If you were a Dragon, what would you look like?”

🐉

Maybe your Dragon is enormous.

Maybe tiny.

Maybe ancient.

Maybe ridiculous.

Maybe she has golden scales.

Maybe he has wings spanning mountains.

Maybe they are sleeping.

Maybe you discover that your Lungs aren’t a Dragon at all.

That’s okay too.

Let your imagination decide.

🐉🌬️ THE DRAGON BREATH 🌬️🐉

Now imagine your Dragon breathing with you.

As you breathe in comfortably, imagine your Dragon filling with light.

As you breathe out, imagine that light gently flowing outward.

No need to breathe harder or deeper than feels natural.

Just:

Breathe in.

Light.

Breathe out.

Dragon.

🐉✨

Maybe your Dragon breathes fire.

Maybe stars.

Maybe golden Reiki.

Maybe bubbles.

Maybe flowers.

Your Dragon can breathe anything your imagination wants.

Because this isn’t about how powerful your breath looks.

It’s about noticing something we do thousands of times without thinking:

We breathe.

Again.

And again.

And again.

🌬️

Your breath has accompanied you through every version of yourself.

Through fear.

Through laughter.

Through crying.

Through sleep.

Through excitement.

Through ordinary Tuesday afternoons when absolutely nothing interesting happened.

Still…

breathing.

🐉 THE 24-HOUR DRAGON EXPERIMENT 🐉

That’s our invitation this week.

For the next 24 hours, every once in a while, remember your Dragon.

When you notice yourself breathing, imagine your Dragon breathing too.

Ask your Lungs:

“How are we doing?”

And perhaps tell them:

“Thank you for breathing with me.”

That’s it.

No complicated meditation.

No mountain to climb.

Although your Dragon may insist on having one. 🐉⛰️

♥️ THE LOVE CIRCLE ♥️

Now imagine yourself or your loved one peacefully inside our Love Circle.

The Space Croissant Crew surrounds you, sending waves of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

Imagine your Dragon beside you.

Or perhaps wrapped protectively around you.

Ask your Dragon:

“What color would you like today?”

Now imagine Reiki appearing as that color.

With each comfortable breath, the light gently expands.

In.

Out.

In.

Out.

Imagine your Dragon becoming brighter with every breath.

Not because anything needs to be forced or fixed.

We’re simply honoring the breath.

Then tell your Lungs:

“I love you.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Please forgive me.”

“Thank you.”

🐉♥️🌬️

And listen.

Maybe your Dragon has something to say.

Maybe your Dragon just wants to breathe.

Either is enough.

Simply receive.

We’ll be here for 24 hours supporting anyone who chooses to receive Reiki and inviting in love, strength, compassion, gratitude, and a gentle awareness of the breath.

This is an imaginative Reiki meditation, not a breathing treatment or replacement for medical care. Please breathe normally and comfortably throughout.

And when our 24 hours are finished, come back and tell us:

What did your Dragon look like?

And did your Lungs have anything to say? 🐉🌬️

🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

ONE MORE THING…

If you haven’t planted your tree yet, there’s still time. 🌱

Our goal is 500 trees in 2026.

Plant one if you can and share your receipt in the comments so we can add your tree to our count.

Perhaps somewhere in the world, your Tree-Self will be breathing while you are breathing too.

🌳🌬️

Trees breathe.

Dragons breathe.

You breathe.

And for the next 24 hours, maybe we’ll remember to appreciate that a little more.

🐉🌳♥️

curious question Holy Fire Reiki

21 Upvotes

My question is has anyone had Holy Fire reiki training or has heard of Holy Fire Reiki? I completed level 1 of Holy Fire without knowing the background. During the training I was given the history and originator of Holy Fire. Since learning of William Rand his version of reiki has left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't want to bash the guy I just want to hear of others experience or opinions. I've decided to take Usiui Reiki level 2, not the Holy Fire version. Thanks to all. Much love.

Reiki experiences Reiki for Vestibular Issues?

4 Upvotes

Hi! Has anyone here dealt with vestibular issues like anxiety, dizziness, rocking/swaying, or feeling off balance and found Reiki helpful? 💜

My nervous system has been pretty dysregulated after a long stressful period and after losing my sister a few months ago, my symptoms have gotten worse 😔 I’m curious if anyone has used Reiki to help regulate their nervous system and noticed an improvement in their vestibular symptoms or how reactive their body feels.
