Self-Reiki

A full self-Reiki session moves your hands through ten positions from head to feet, a few minutes each. Even five minutes a day counts.

Traditional self-treatment moves slowly from the head to the feet, holding each position for three to five minutes. Stay longer anywhere you notice warmth or tingling, or simply feel drawn to linger.

  1. Over the eyes: clarity
  2. Temples: a quieter mind
  3. Back of the head: rest and dreams
  4. Throat: expression
  5. Heart: love and grief
  6. Upper belly: confidence
  7. Below the navel: creativity and feelings
  8. Hips: safety and grounding
  9. Knees: moving forward
  10. Feet: connection to the earth

Traditionally, self-Reiki is learned and attuned at Level I, but resting your hands like this with a calm intention is gentle for anyone.

Try this

Tonight in bed, rest one hand on your heart and one on your belly for five slow minutes, and silently recite the five principles.

Reiki is a complementary energy practice, not a diagnosis or medical treatment, and it isn't a substitute for professional healthcare. It's lovely alongside medical care, never instead of it.
