Reiki in Everyday Life

I am so proud to be a Reiki Master-Teacher, and one of my great joys in life is teaching others about this useful form of hands-on or distance energy healing. Reiki has become such an ingrained part of my daily life, I almost don't realize how much I use it anymore.

I remember after my First Degree Reiki class and attunement, I wasn't quite sure what to do with the Reiki or how to incorporate it into my life. I took every opportunity I could find to channel the energy and was always seeking situations where it would be beneficial. Reiki was on my mind a lot back then.

Now a few years down the line with the daily practice of Reiki in my daily life and the number of Reiki students I have taught and attuned in the triple digits, I almost don't notice when I am incorporating Reiki into my life because it is such a part of what I do each day. And Reiki comes into my life daily at various times throughout the day. 

I thought I'd share some of the ways I make Reiki a part of my daily life for those of you seeking to make the energy a bigger part of yours, as well.

• I give myself Reiki daily. Often, I don't even realize I'm doing it until I notice as I am sitting and petting the dogs or driving my car down the road that I have one hand placed somewhere on a body part and I feel the warmth coming from my hands and the well-being washing over me. But I also try to channel Reiki to myself with intention daily, even if only for five minutes.
• When I hurt myself, my first response is always to place my hand(s) over the injury site and channel Reiki. 
• I channel Reiki to my pets daily.
• I channel Reiki to my electronics.
• I channel Reiki before I start work with the intention my writing be of high integrity and serve the highest and greatest good.
• I send Reiki energy for the highest and greatest good any time I am concerned about something that is happening on the planet.
• I channel Reiki energy briefly to my food and drink.
• Any time I get in my car, which is 10 years old and has about 200,000 miles on it now, I channel Reiki to my car.
• Whenever I travel, I channel Reiki to my mode of transport, as well as channeling Reiki in spaces where I work or stay as I travel.
• I channel Reiki to my plants, as well as to the water I give them.
• I channel Reiki to people anytime they ask me to.
• I channel Reiki during meditation, affirmations, and visualization to deepen my experience.
• I channel Reiki to myself during Savasana after yoga and Nia. 
• I use Reiki to cleanse my crystal jewelry I wear.
• I channel Reiki to my bath water before I bathe. 
• I channel Reiki into my home to shift energetic conditions.
• Before every class I teach, I channel Reiki to the space to cleanse it. 
• I meditate briefly on the 5 Principles of Reiki daily and always intend to keep them as the guiding principles in my life. 
• Any time I enter a space that feels off energetically, I channel Reiki to it.

These are just a few of the ways I notice myself habitually incorporating Reiki energy into my life on a daily basis. I truly believe it enhances my life and brings me more peace, joy, and balance throughout every day. 

As Reiki practitioners, you will find your own way to incorporate Reiki energy into your life, as well. Hopefully by learning a few of mine, you will find ways you can make channeling Reiki a practice in your life, as well.
