Reiki and Energy: How I Use It to Support My Practice 

What is Reiki? 

Reiki is a gentle form of energy practice that originated in Japan. The word Reiki means “universal life energy.”

Cultivating Awareness and Harmony 

Through focus and intention, Reiki helps bring awareness to the flow of energy within the body, promoting relaxation, balance, and clarity of mind. For me, Reiki is not about magic or controlling someone else’s energy. It is about cultivating awareness and harmony within myself.

How Reiki Supports My Practice 

When I practice Reiki for myself, I sometimes feel a deeper sense of flow during my Tai Chi and Qigong sessions.

Mindful Awareness in Everyday Life 

Even when I am walking outdoors or driving and noticing the trees around me, I become aware of their presence and quiet strength. I feel a deeper appreciation for nature and the beauty that surrounds us. Reiki has helped me quiet my mind, center my emotions, and stay grounded.

A Quiet Companion 

Although I do not offer Reiki healing sessions to others, Reiki remains an important part of my personal practice.

It is a gentle companion that supports my meditation, Tai Chi, and mindful movement, helping me cultivate a deeper awareness of myself and the world around me. Reiki, for me, will always be part of my journey.
