Reiki is the practice of using the natural energy that flows through us to heal yourself and others. Also known as “the laying on of hands”, Reiki works by increasing the energy flow to areas of the body that may have low energy. Low energy, caused by energy blockages elsewhere in the body, directly affects the health of the body. Practicing Reiki breaks down the blockages in your own body and allows for your energy to flow naturally, providing the fuel for your body to begin healing.
After you’ve received at least your first Reiki attunement, it’s beneficial to practice daily Reiki. Daily practice keeps your chakras aligned, your energy paths open for healing others, and helps you consciously direct the natural flow of Reiki energy.
Wondering how to remember to practice Reiki? Sometimes, we just can’t find the time to practice Reiki self-healing and daily practices. Luckily, we’ve got these five easy tips that will help you incorporate Reiki into your daily life!
