Self-Healing Meditation
This meditation is designed to be a self-healing tool. It is also designed to help you balance and heal all levels of your being so that you can develop as a Reiki practitioner.
You can make a recording of this meditation by reading this script out loud (with music playing in the background if so desired). By recording it with your own voice, you have the power of the spoken word and the affirmation of your own being to make this a truly healing experience.
Read the script through first, make any notations, additions or deletions before you proceed to record.
To begin this meditation, find a place where it is quiet and you won't be disturbed. Make sure you are free from all distractions. Take the phone off the hook or shut the ringer off. Find a comfortable place to sit (sitting is preferred so you can be aware of what you are experiencing. If you feel that lying down would be more beneficial, then do so.)
First, empower your hands by putting the power symbol in them. Then draw a large power symbol over the front of your body so that the spiral is in front of your power center. Then put a small power symbol over each charka. This clears and empowers your channel to bring in and hold the Reiki energy.
You can then do a short Gassho meditation followed by Reiji ho. Then take three deep breaths. Breathe in relaxation. Breathe out tension. Breathe in calm. Breathe out anxiety. Breathe in trust. Breathe out fear.
To send Reiki to one's physical level of being, you are first going to scan your body, noticing any areas of pain, discomfort, or tension. You will mentally note that area so you can place a power symbol there. You can spend as much time as you want in each area.
To begin, imagine that there is a small cloud filled with Reiki energy at your feet. Imagine that the energy begins to swirl in a circular motion and moves up gently into your feet. Notice any tension, pain, or discomfort in that area. Imagine that the cloud of Reiki energy relaxes this area, removes any tension, and brings healing. Then imagine that the cloud moves into your ankles. There it swirls around, in circular motion, relaxing and healing that area as well. Continue up your body, imagining the cloud of healing energy swirling up and around your legs, then your knees, and then your thighs. Imagine the energy relaxes the muscles, removes tension, and brings healing. Note any areas of discomfort as you go along, and place a power symbol there.
Continue scanning your body and bringing the energy to the area where your legs meet your body. This is the first or root chakra area. Imagine that the energy swirls around your lower back, as well as the lower front of your body, The Reiki cloud relaxes the muscles, clears out any blockages, and brings healing on a physical level (remember that you can place a power symbol there to bring more Reiki.)
Continue moving the cloud of energy up into your second chakra area, the area that contains your reproductive (creative) organs. This is the area of connection to others and your creativity. Imagine the cloud swirls around, releases any tension, discomfort or blockages in this area. Imagine that it heals any physical problems that may exist.
Then bring the cloud to your solar plexus chakra: the area around your navel (or belly button.) Your organs of assimilation and digestion are located here; the areas where you break down and absorb your food so that it can give you energy. Imagine that the cloud of energy swirls around this area, relaxing any tension, any discomfort, or blockages.
Next, move the cloud to the heart chakra area. Once again, feel the energy moving around your heart and lungs. Imagine that the energy removes any pain, discomfort, or tension. Imagine that it fills these organs with healing energy.
Then bring the cloud to your throat chakra. Continue the process of bringing the energy in to relax the area and bring healing. Remember that this area includes the back of the neck where much tension is stored, Spend extra time here or place a power symbol to help release the tension or discomfort.
Then imagine the cloud travels to your third eye chakra. Imagine that the Reiki energy swirls around this area, opening up the third eye, releasing blockages to "knowing" or sensing, and allow the energy to fill up and heal your third eye.
Finally, bring the cloud to the top of your head, your crown chakra. Imagine that the Reiki cloud fills up your crown chakra area and releases any tightness or tension or discomfort.
Now that you have scanned your body, found areas of tension or discomfort and placed a power symbol there, you can move to the next part of the meditation.
Imagine now that the cloud of Reiki energy is above your head. Imagine that it enters your body through your crown chakra. Once it enters, it begins to fill your entire body with healing energy. Imagine that your entire body is becoming filled with Reiki energy. Imagine that all your body organs and parts are bathed in Reiki. Stay here for 5-20 minutes, imagining your entire body full of Reiki energy. You can go back to those areas of discomfort and notice that they too are now filled with Reiki energy.
Then imagine the energy begins to radiate out from your physical body. Imagine that you are glowing with healing energy. See yourself expanded and your first level of being (your physical body) completely filled with Reiki energy.
Now let's go to your second level of being: your emotional self.
To send Reiki to your emotional self or level of being, activate the mental emotional symbol and say its name three times. Then "scan" your emotional level of being by asking yourself these questions: How am I feeling right now? Am I happy, sad, joyful, or depressed? Am I worried or anxious about anything? Am I feeling pressured or tense? Is something upsetting me?
Once you have answered these questions, activate the mental/emotional symbol again and ask it to flow to these areas of concern. Stay here with yourself and your feelings for several minutes. Feel the feelings, go through the emotions. Realize that they are simply energy. Cry if you need to. Then allow Reiki to move the pain or discomfort out. Imagine that each painful emotion is being placed in the Reiki cloud and being released from your emotional being. It is going to Creator or to the Source for healing. Once it is released, imagine that you are being filled with peace, joy, love, contentment and overall well being. Feel the energy flow in for 5-20 minutes. Then imagine that your emotional level of being is balanced and healed.
Next, send Reiki to your mental level of being. Again, activate the mental emotional symbol. To scan your mental level of being, ask yourself if you have too much on your mind. Ask yourself if you feel like your head is ready to explode. Ask yourself if you have too much to do and can't set priorities. Ask yourself if you feel drained. Now activate the mental/emotional symbol again. Feel if flow into you and fill you up. Imagine that as it flows into you, your thoughts become clear and calm. Imagine that the Reiki relaxes your brain so that it is working to help thoughts flow easily. Imagine that solutions to perplexing problems come easily. Imagine that worry gently flows out of your mind. As all these troubling thoughts leave the body, Reiki fills, balances and heals your mental level of being. Send Reiki to this level for 5-20 minutes.
Lastly, you can send Reiki to your spiritual being. First, activate the distant healing symbol. Scan your spiritual level of being by asking yourself: Do I feel disconnected? Do I feel alone in the world? Am I aware of the divine in my life? Do I experience the sacred or divine in my everyday life? Now imagine that Reiki comes in and fills and restores your spirit….your essence…your soul. Imagine it as a beautiful golden flow of energy that is a direct link to the higher realms. Imagine that guidance flows in and that you are directly connected to the source, whatever you believe that to be. Intend that the Reiki energy reconnects you to the divine within and reignites your flame. See yourself filled with spiritual energy that extends out beyond all the other levels of your being. See yourself as complete, whole, and healed.
When you are finished, visualize a power symbol over yourself and say, "I seal this healing with love and light" three times. End the session with gratitude for the gift of healing through Reiki. Rest and allow yourself to gently ease back into your day.
