One of the most beautiful parts of giving Reiki, and honestly one of the hardest, is learning to trust your intuition.

You will know the term ‘attunement’ from your Reiki training – no matter where you are in your Reiki journey. You may still wonder what an attunement is, how it works, and how it impacts your life but first, let’s remind ourselves of some history.

We know that practising Reiki reduces stress, promotes relaxation and spiritual growth, heals and increases physical energy, enhances the immune function and much more.

We can do the same with our Reiki practice. When we first receive our attunements we enter a period of 21 days of self-healing, creating great habits which help us as Reiki practitioners. We find ways to make self-healing work for us in our lives and it becomes a habit.

Learning Reiki can have a profound effect on your whole life; during your initial 21 days of self-healing, you may feel drawn to make some changes in your life, bringing balance not just to your body but to your environment, your relationships, career, finances… In fact to any area of your life and wellbeing.

Whatever our initial plans for Reiki, we can sometimes lose our way. We may put Reiki on hold for a while, not have time or the inclination to practise, or we just get out of the Reiki habit. So how do you get back to Reiki? This is a question we sometimes get asked, so here are some ideas you can try to re-ignite, or strengthen your Reiki.

Once you feel confident with your self-healing and have worked with those close to you, why not try some of these ideas!

You may have experienced a Reiki treatment and felt the benefits for yourself, maybe you know someone who has had Reiki and told you about the effects, or you might just be interested in finding out more. So here are some of the benefits of learning Reiki, or continuing your Reiki journey.
