Before we start, if you’re new to Reiki and want to know what it is then please read my blog post or this page.

Reiki energy is present everywhere around and inside you. It is free for everyone to use. Don’t you think we should all learn to use these energies for everyone’s benefit?

Reiki healing is not just a healing practice but a very important life skill, just like cooking! 

It not only helps achieve a balanced state of mind, body, and spirit but also helps with big and small things in your everyday life.

Because the whole universe is connected, you can work with Reiki energy in a number of ways to enhance the quality of your life. You don’t need to be a Reiki master to do all this but you can also do it as a level 1 Reiki practitioner. You can even do this if you’re not a Reiki practitioner since it is present in all of us. But learning Reiki boosts everything multiple times, teaches you specific techniques, and also attunes you for increased flow.

Here Are Some Ways That You Can Use It For Your Benefit And For Others:

Practicing The Reiki Principles In Your Daily Life:
The Principles Are:
  • Just for today, I will not worry.
    Just for today, I will not be angry.
    Just for today, I will do my work honestly.
    Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings.
    Just for today, I will be kind to my neighbor and every living thing.

  • These 5 Reiki principles help us in achieving inner healing and leading a calm life even in the face of adversities. you can practice these principles throughout the day as a reminder to be in the highest vibration possible at that moment.

To Clear The Negative Energies From A Place: 
  • If you are even slightly intuitive like me, you are able to sense the ambient energies of a place or a room. Sometimes these energies can cause shifts in our mood that affect our productivity, relationships, health, and our life in general. As a Reiki practitioner, I use Reiki energy, Reiki symbols, and a few other modalities intuitively to clear a place of negative energies. I often notice a change in the behavior of the residents and how they feel after I clear their place.

  • To access my space clearing services, go here.

To bless your food:
  • As a Reiki practitioner, there are no official restrictions on the kind of diet that you should have but it is always better to stick to a vegetarian diet (Avoiding dairy is even better because it is associated with a lot of cruelty. Milk from another animal is also not the best thing for humans) if you want to have the highest possible energy flows.

  • Non-vegetarian food is known to be associated with lower energy flow and residual energetic imprints of distress and trauma besides the antibiotics and artificial hormones. If a non-vegetarian diet is inevitable for you, you can take a few minutes before eating your food to give Reiki to it and expressing your gratitude and respect to the animal who was made to sacrifice his life and also to remove any energetic residue or imprints. Although this does not fix the ongoing problem with animal cruelty, it can help you in that instant.

  • We should all be working for the best interest of nature, Reiki is a part of that. When practicing Reiki, your body will begin to show you signs of what it does and doesn't need.

As A Booster For Your Spiritual Practice:
  • No matter what religion you follow, if you connect to a higher being as a part of your religious practice, you can meditate and connect with them better by sending them Reiki energy or with the help of Reiki symbols if you are a level 2 practitioner.

Caring For Your Friends, Families, Pets, And Garden:
  • When your friends, family or pets fall sick you can be the one to give them a relaxing time of Reiki session. This can be of immense help while they are struggling with the sickness. But one should be careful not to depend on Reiki alone and consult your doctor on time. Reiki is a wonderful adjunct to your regular treatment.

  • If you see a hopeless plant in your garden you can try giving it Reiki if the reason for its weakness is unknown to give it a fighting chance.

  • If your friends, family or loved ones live far away from you, you can always learn Reiki level 2 and use the symbols to send distance healing to them any time of the day or night.

Finding Lost Things:
  • Yes, you can find lost things using Reiki! It is not always that you will find the thing which is lost but if it’s meant to come to you, you can speed up the process. Write the name of the object on a piece of paper, fold it and place it between your palms in a Gasho (Namaste) position. Now run Reiki through the piece of paper while you mentally connect with Archangel Chamuel or by saying a prayer. You need to be in a totally relaxed state in order to receive the messages from your subconscious about where you need to go or where you need to look for it. Trace your steps back in this relaxed state and try to remember where you might have kept it. You can use Reiki symbols to boost this if you are a level 2 practitioner. If you still cannot remember it, request Archangel Chamuel to find it for you. Thank them and then go about your day. It is important not to get too attached to the outcome as some things are meant to be lost for good.

Finding A Job:
  • Write the job title, the company and other details and the words "or better" on a piece of paper, fold it and place it between your palms in a namaste position. Now run Reiki energy through it, connect with Archangel Chamuel and ask them for help to find this particular job.

  • Picture yourself in this job, at your desk in your room, talking to your coworkers, your boss, your clients and feel how it feels to work in this position.

  • Fill yourself up with gratitude, thank Archangel chamuel for help and then remember to take steps necessary to find this job. You can again boost this with Reiki symbols. It is a law of attraction ritual boosted with Reiki.

  • Again it is important not to get attached to the outcome as our dreams can come true in the weirdest of ways. Just trust the Universe.

Finding More Clients For Your Business: 
  • Just like the above two points you can also use it to find more clients for your business by writing the number of clients per day/week/month on the piece of paper and then following the same procedure as above. Again use the Law of Attraction and completely indulge yourself in the feeling of catering to those clients that you have “already received”.

  • Be clear on "why" you want these number of clients. If it's only for the money, it can still work but it might not bring internal fulfillment if it's not aligned to your purpose. Money is an important byproduct of the work you do. Rethink your why, become the person who is able to do it easily, get yourself out there in the most authentic way, and watch clients come in. You can only boost what's already happening within you with Reiki.

Attracting More Money: 
  • In the same way, you can use Reiki to attract more money by boosting your Law of Attraction rituals with Reiki. Again, rethink on why you want this amount of money. It can be for reasons that are self-fulfilling and that's okay. But please be careful of getting yourself into the effects of ingrained capitalism.

  • Abundance can come to you in many ways. So always count all sources of abundance such as food, shelter, experiences, family, education, safety, beauty, enjoyment, etc.

Finding The Best Service:
  • You can use Reiki to find the best service, for example, the best doctor, the best lawyer, the best private teacher for you or something similar by using the method above.

Healing Relationships:
  • Using Reiki for someone without their permission is unethical. But you are responsible for your own healing and you can heal a relationship for your own benefit without involving the other person.

  • Imagine your relationship as a cord between you and the other person. You can hold this cord between your palms gently cupping it and send Reiki, love, and forgiveness to the cord for as long as you want.

  • Replace any negative feelings you have towards that person with love. With this practice, you might either see your relationship improve or being cut off for good. Whatever the outcome is, you should ready to accept it as for the best of all. You can do this for another person as well, but with their permission and after proper training.

With great power comes great responsibility. Although you cannot use Reiki for anything bad, we must exercise caution when choosing to use Reiki especially when it involves another person. You do not want to touch their energies without their permission. 

We are using all kinds of energies all the time. It’s just that while using Reiki we are being more conscious and positive. We shouldn’t go on trying to use Reiki for everything trivial though there’s nothing wrong with it. This is because trying to have control over each and everything is not good for our psyche. Reiki is all about letting go and trusting the universe to do the right thing.

I only make it a point to use it only for the most important or urgent things or when I sense a blockage in receiving something.

I have used Reiki in almost all the above ways and it worked for me every time except finding one lost thing. I did not find it but later I got something similar in exchange for that.

And this is why Reiki is not just a healing practice but it is an important life skill which I think everyone should learn and pass on to their future generations. It is also important to pass on the do’s and don’ts.
