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 Reiki refresher?

Upvotes

So, I did all my Reiki courses and was certified reiki master when I was 15. It has been many many many years since then (I've had kids - my brain is gone) and I'm trying to get back in touch with this part of my life.

Does anyone know of a Reiki refresher or something along those lines? I still have all the books and information, but there is something about listening and engaging that makes it easier for me to comprehend.

Thank you all, and have a great day!

Reiki experiences my first reiki experience

11 Upvotes

I just started seeing a therapist and also wanted to cleanse my physical energy too.

During the reiki session, my legs and arms moved a lot. I could feel some vibration or energy when it was touched. Eventually fell asleep too..

The lady who did it for me said it was very interesting to work on my body, I have a strong and good energy and accepted the energy from her fully too. She also said when she was holding my head from the back with two hands, there was a lot of movements and thoughts.

Towards the end of the session, I think my body got more relaxed and interacted with her energy too.

Also, in the end, I saw 8:88 when I was closing my eyes..

Oh, and she said my left arm had some reaction or sth, which was in a good way, and the left arm is about the future, and I should open my heart and take love from others because I have a lot of love in my chest.

I did a cleansing with a psychic before, who is one of my friends, because of some spirit attachment things and I definitely could feel a huge difference.

This time, it's more about energy and I'd like to see how I will feel tomorrow and later..

discussion Can I clear a karmic pattern and manifest a permanent reunion with my ex using LOA, 369, Ho’oponopono & Reiki?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

​I’m looking for some advice and would love to hear your experiences or insights on this situation.

​My ex and I were in a relationship for about a year. However, during the last few months, we were fighting constantly. Because of all the arguments, he slowly detached and stopped feeling the same way. We tried to make it work for around 4 months, but the constant up-and-down dynamic and the long-distance setup made things really draining for both of us. Eventually, I asked him what he truly wanted, and he felt it was best to break up instead of wasting time.

​We broke up towards the end of July, and we’ve been in strict no-contact ever since. I haven't reached out to him at all, though I do occasionally check his profile online.

​Based on my research, I feel like our relationship had a strong karmic pattern (constant conflict, detachment, emotional fatigue), even though I don't believe he is a toxic or bad person for me. I know people often say karmic relationships don't result in a lasting reunion, but I truly want to heal this energy and manifest a healthy, permanent reunion with him.

​I’m planning to use a combination of tools:

​Law of Attraction & Visualization (to align with a loving, peaceful relationship)

​369 Method (for intention setting)

​Ho’oponopono (to clear the heavy karmic baggage and past resentment)

​Reiki / Energy Healing (to heal my own heart chakra and release resistance)

​My questions for the community:

​Is it possible to completely dissolve a karmic pattern/loop using these methods and transform the connection into a healthy, long-term relationship?

​Has anyone successfully manifested a reunion after a breakup caused by emotional burnout and long distance?

​How can I practice these techniques without coming from a place of desperation or lack while maintaining no-contact?

​I would really appreciate any insights, tips, or personal success stories. Thank you so much!

Reiki request Lily, the Golden Retriever with cancer

Hi, I haven't written here lately, but Lily's condition is worsening. Now the skin where the tumor is is opening up and bleeding; we have to disinfect and clean it every day. It's very difficult.

Now she has to wear a t-shirt all the time because she sucks on her tumor a lot and it could get infected.

She's in very good spirits, But a lot of blood is coming out.

We don't know what else to do. I feel so helpless and sad seeing her like this. Please, I need help with her. I beg you with all my heart. I couldn't bear to lose her, and I don't know what else to do about all this.

For me, a pet is another member of the family, and their love is the purest there is. I love her like a sister and I would give everything for her

Please help her, I ask you from the bottom of my heart, and to those who have already sent Reiki, I am very grateful. Thank you for reading this and I hope you have a nice day/night

REIKI SHARE DAY: THIS WEEK’S MEDITATION ♥️

HI EVERYONE! 24 hrs of Free Reiki with the SPACE CROISSANT CREW.

The theme is SPEAKING TO YOUR HEART. It starts NOW!

HI EVERYONE!

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

Before we begin, 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. We have 205 trees 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.

Give your tree a name if you wish.

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 SPEAK TO YOUR HEART ♥️

Last week, we experimented with expanding our consciousness.

We became Tree-Self. 🌳

Humanity-Self. 💛

Earth-Self. 🌎

This week, we’re coming all the way back home.

Back to you.

And we’re going to have a conversation with someone who has been with you your entire life:

Your Heart. ♥️

For the next 24 hours, we’re inviting you to try one very simple experiment:

Talk to your Heart.

This week’s meditation is inspired by The Inner Mediator by Carol Viana, which explores meeting our inner world with curiosity, conversation, and compassion. ♥️

♥️ MEET YOUR HEART ♥️

Place your hand over your chest if that feels comfortable.

Close your eyes.

Imagine your Heart however you wish.

Maybe it’s your physical heart.

Maybe a Heart emoji.

Maybe a little glowing Heart.

Maybe simply a light.

Now say:

“Hi, Heart. How are you?”

And listen.

Don’t search for an answer.

Just notice what comes.

A word.

An emotion.

An image.

A memory.

A feeling.

Or perhaps silence.

There is no wrong answer.

We’re simply practicing listening.

Then tell your Heart:

“I love you.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Please forgive me.”

“Thank you.”

♥️

Your Heart has been beating through every version of you.

Every beautiful day.

Every difficult day.

Every heartbreak.

Every fear.

Every celebration.

Every person you’ve loved.

Every time you’ve laughed.

Every time you’ve cried.

Every time you’ve wondered whether things would be okay.

Your Heart was there.

Beating.

Maybe something that has been with us for our entire lives deserves to hear:

“Thank you.”

♥️ THE 24-HOUR HEART EXPERIMENT ♥️

That’s it.

Nothing complicated to remember.

For the next 24 hours, every now and then, check in.

While drinking your coffee.

Walking.

Working.

Resting.

Before you fall asleep.

Simply ask:

“Heart, how are we doing?”

And listen.

Maybe later ask:

“Is there anything you’d like me to know?”

You don’t have to decide whether what comes is psychological, symbolic, spiritual, imaginative, intuitive, or something else entirely.

We’re just curious.

We’re practicing a different kind of inner conversation.

And if your Heart has nothing to say?

You can simply tell it:

“I love you.”

♥️ THE LOVE CIRCLE ♥️

Now imagine yourself or your loved one sitting peacefully in the center of our Love Circle.

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

Imagine your Heart beginning to glow.

♥️

What color does your Heart choose today?

Golden?

Pink?

Green?

Blue?

Something completely different?

Imagine Reiki gently surrounding your Heart in that light.

Now imagine tiny Heart emojis floating toward it.

♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

Each carries four messages:

I love you.

I’m sorry.

Please forgive me.

Thank you.

Let them surround your Heart.

Nothing needs to be forced.

Nothing needs to be demanded from your Heart.

We’re simply giving it our attention.

Our gratitude.

Our compassion.

Our love.

Now ask:

“Heart, what do you want me to know?”

And listen.

♥️

Simply receive.

For the next 24 hours, we’ll be here supporting anyone who chooses to receive Reiki and inviting in love, compassion, forgiveness, gratitude, and connection.

This is an imaginative meditation practice and can complement the ways you already care for yourself; it isn’t a replacement for medical or mental-health care when needed.

Don’t worry.

We will be very gentle.

When our 24 hours are finished, we’d love for you to come back and tell us:

Did your Heart have anything to say? ♥️

This is Master Storm.

I am an Usui Reiki Master.

I, along with Master Phoenix and the Space Croissant Crew, am responsible for Gratitude Reiki, the website, and our Sunday events here on r/reikishare and r/reiki.

Thank you for allowing us to help all of you every Sunday.

🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

ONE MORE THING…

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

We are at 205 trees and 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.

Maybe give it a name.

Maybe make it your Tree-Self.

And perhaps years from now, you’ll remember that somewhere in the world there is a tree growing because of one small act of love during a Sunday Reiki Share.

🌳♥️

This is it!

For the next 24 hours:

Talk to your Heart.

Ask:

“How are you?”

Listen.

And every now and then, remind it:

“I love you.”

You have been talking to yourself your entire life.

What happens when you make that conversation a loving one?

Let us know tomorrow how you feel!

Thank you!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

curious question Reiki session- couldn’t feel my body

2 Upvotes

Recently began receiving massages from a masseuse who also does reiki and has been incorporating energy healing into our sessions. I’ve had reiki before but never really felt anything and am going into these massage sessions with zero expectations in terms of energy. BUT I have noticed that I am falling into a meditative headspace and been open to it. This last session was interesting - The strange and different experience was that I couldn’t feel my body. I knew I had one and was conscious and awake but felt nothing, not that I was having an out of body experience but coming close to what I assume that would be like. I was sort of expecting to be able to see myself on the table but didn’t, a bit later I began feeling my body again. It wasn’t scary but curious if any one else has experienced something similar.

curious question Reiki Caused increased Pain

12 Upvotes

Looking for some guidance, I’m Newley attuned to Reiki 2 and recently did a full session for my wife. She has a history of blood clots in her legs and has circulation issues that her pain has been well managed for a few years.

When I sent Reiki to her leg that has circulation issues she noticed heaviness in her leg and increased pain. Initially I told her that it should go away in a few days but it hasn’t it’s been 2 weeks. The pain is a lot less but it’s not as good as before I did a session with her.

She now is hesitant for me to do Reiki with her and I feel terrible any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone before?

Reiki experiences bioresonance therapy

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone who practices Reiki,

I have a question about combining Reiki with bioresonance therapy.

I have been waiting for my Reiki initiation for months, and after all those months and weeks of waiting, I finally had it done.

Two days before the initiation, I visited someone who offers bioresonance therapy. Through acupuncture, several things came up. Apparently, there may be something going on with my liver, although I don't know exactly what. It also indicated a vitamin B12 deficiency and that I might have Lyme disease.

The therapist recommended bioresonance therapy, and I was given a device to take home to treat the Lyme disease using specific frequencies.

I told the therapist that I was going to have my Reiki initiation.

I also told my Reiki Master about everything that had come up during the bioresonance therapy.

She said that she thinks the two can be combined.

Today, I started the 21-day Reiki self-treatment. At the same time, I am supposed to start the bioresonance treatment, which would be for one month.

What do you all think? Can these two treatments be done alongside each other? Has anyone here had any experience with combining Reiki and bioresonance therapy?

I'd love to hear your experiences and thoughts.

Reiki experiences i did reiki on a patient and almost fainted

18 Upvotes

this still confuses me, and i'm hoping that someone can tell me what was going on with me. i was at the healing centre for my reiki practice last sunday & i was working on an unknown patient, the woman must have been in her 40's. also, i do not want to disclose my age on here but i'm a young f.

there are usually patients with cancer who come for voluntary healing sessions, but since I'm not a reiki master yet (I've done up to level 2) i do not charge for any of them but rather use this as an opportunity to practice.

the woman said she felt pain in her knees and shoulders- and so i worked on these areas the most. as i was projecting invocation symbols everything went smoothly until i reached around her solar plexus. i started feeling a burning sensation on my palm and had to break the skin-to-skin contact but only felt the energy pull harder.

i kept going but i started sweating and feeling very hot although it was quite chilly outside and the room was quite cool. after i descended to her knees it was then that i couldn't take it, became too much and my head started spinning. not wanting to give up i tried to brace myself but my vision was going black.

luckily my reiki master spotted me and he quickly pulled me away and sat me down on a chair and started soothing me, and brought a little water bottle. the woman didn't seem to notice that I had stopped, im assuming she must have been pretty relaxed or asleep. since I had been working on her for about 15mins already. and her eyes remained closed for the 5 minutes it took for me to get back to her. when i did it was almost the end of the session but i still felt dizzy towards the end.

i asked her for feedback and she thanked me and told me how sweet it was of me and that she felt much better. she also started asking a bunch of personal questions which was a bit weird but i'm not thinking too much of it.

i even asked my master about it but his response didn't really answer my question. It felt as if he didn't even know how to address the situation. or maybe he did, but didn't want to upset me? am i using too much of my personal energy? if that's even possible, since i know that reiki is very safe for kids and even they can practice it.

i had a similar experience earlier when i was a child doing reiki but it wasn't as intense as this. (been doing it since i was 11) but then stopped for several years until recently.- 2025)

please help me with an answer, and if i was too vague about it feel free to ask me more questions I'll elaborate then... even about the invocation symbols i used and my thought process. (yes the woman was laying down flat, and i usually give healing standing up.)

has anyone here experienced anything similar while giving reiki?

Does anyone know any healing for extreme hearing loss that they can share?

I had sudden profound one-sided hearing loss (on my good left ear) earlier this year that soon went over to my other ear also to a less degree. It was so sudden and profound. Medical can't fix it. So I want to try again with energy healing.

Or if not reiki, what other kind of healing might help?

curious question Advice on energy healing

3 Upvotes

Hello, I would love to hear from others in how to manage large amounts of energy moving through the body that can feel at times strange and overwhelming.

For context, I have been working with an energy healer for several months to help heal a very old injury to my body. Throughout this time I have been able to feel the energy come into my body on a daily basis and the progression over time as it moves through me. Now, four months later, the energy is waking me up at night and feels like it’s coming in bigger and continuously. This can cause me to feel spontaneously anxious and even a little sick. I worry about not being able to hold all this energy in a healthy way. Can anyone advise or speak to their own experience on this?

curious question Curious on an experience I had

5 Upvotes

hi to all!!

a few months ago, a man at a local park approached my ex and i. he offered us a free reiki session, i think it was some kind of energy transfer. he had us stand together, started with him, and then clapped and had him touch my shoulder. i am usually a little bit suspicious of these kinds of things, but as soon as my ex boyfriend touched my shoulder, i was immediately sick. i started sweating, and my vision started spotting as if i was about to pass out. we ended up having to leave the park, because i felt so close to fainting. i said sorry to the guy, can’t remember what he said. he did seem like a genuinely good person though, very interesting and showed us his self help youtube channel.

i am wondering if anyone has any insight to this. my ex boyfriend was abusive to me physically and mentally, so i don’t know if it had to do with his energy being spread to me or what. what do you guys think? i am not very educated in reiki.

discussion Safety Warning: Reiki Healer’s Disturbing “Shoot” Proposal

23 Upvotes

I am posting this as a safety warning for women who may be approached by this person in Toronto through Reiki, modelling, photography or similar opportunities.
The person initially presented himself as a Reiki practitioner and offered a free Reiki session. He represented himself as having some form of certification/professional qualification.
The subsequent communication changed significantly. He proposed what he described as a **shooting scene for a dark-web magazine**.
The proposed scenario involved a woman being in a **Starbucks washroom**, having her **underwear ripped**, and having her **hands restrained**.
He also showed a photograph of items that were apparently intended to be used in the scene, including **condoms and lubricant**.
What concerns me is the way this was presented as a supposed modelling/shooting opportunity, despite the highly sexualized nature of the scenario and the use of restraints and forced removal of clothing.
**There was no clear professional explanation of why these activities would be required for a legitimate modelling assignment, nor was there clear information about appropriate safeguards, consent procedures or who else would be present.**
I am posting this because someone might initially encounter him through what appears to be a harmless Reiki or modelling opportunity and not realize what the proposed “shoot” actually involves.
**Please be extremely cautious about accepting modelling, photography, casting, Reiki or other opportunities from someone who introduces sexualized activities, restraints or forced undressing under the description of a “shoot.”**
If anyone has received a similar proposal from this person, please consider sharing your experience. **Please don’t contact, threaten or harass anyone involved.** The purpose of this post is to warn potential victims and determine whether there is a pattern of similar behaviour.
