What are the Benefits to Learning Reiki ?

There are numerous benefits to learning Reiki and although reiki helps to produce physical, mental and emotional healing, for me the greatest gift that reiki offers us is to helps us to unveil our true self – the part of us that doesn’t compare itself to others, that accepts us exactly as we are (light & shadow), that knows we are always doing our best, that helps us lift the veils so we can be more of who we truly are, the part of us that loves ourselves, warts and all!

Anyone can learn reiki

Yes that’s right, anyone can learn. I have taught artists, teachers, mums, dads, lawyers, coaches, scientists, nurses, accountants, bankers, healers + many more. Some have gone on to become professional Reiki Practitioners, others have used it as a tool to enhance their overall quality of life. As a teacher, I love seeing people from all walks of life practice Reiki and I love how easy it is to integrate it into our day to day lives. So you don’t just practice reiki when you are sick / stressed, you practice it when you are in fly form too as things can only get better!

Decreases Anxiety & Worry, Enhances Inner Peace and Calm

Your self-healing (reiki self practice) helps to connect you to your true nature. As a result you worry less and become more present. As Frank Argave Petter says ‘In Usui’s day, the Japanese word Reiki meant Soul energy. This Soul or rather the Soul energy is being reactivated during a reiki attunement, and the one being attuned to Reiki remembers his original nature, his essential being’.

Increases Self-Love & Confidence

Learning Reiki is a journey of self-empowerment. Throughout your reiki journey you are learning how take total responsibility for all areas of your life, your thoughts, feelings, body and relationships and as a result confidence and self-love naturally increases.

Become more grounded and balanced

One of the most common things all students report is

that they feel so much more grounded and balanced mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Reiki allows you to become more connected to your own physical being which allows you to become much more aware of how you can manage your day-to-day energy. A student once said ‘she had found her feet’ through her self treatments!

You learn the art of self-healing, which amplifies body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Reiki is a natural pain reliever as it helps to bring the body back into harmony and balance. Your Self-healing allows you to connect to your body and listen to its wisdom. You connect to your inner guidance, allowing you to let go of things that no longer serve you and move forward with ease. Reiki is simple and powerful – where you feel pain or discomfort you place your hands on that area and let reiki flow. You’ll be amazed at the feeling and result.

Less Fear, More Courage

Learning Reiki allows you to recognise fear for what it is, listen to it’s wisdom and move through it into the unknown with ease, confidence and strength. We begin to see that our bodies are constantly talking to us, just like our emotions so rather than pushing them down or avoiding them, we meet them as if meeting a friend for the first time – with curiousity and compassion, to see what medicine they hold.

Greater clarity, creativity & sense of purpose

Often people will be drawn to learn Reiki while they are in a stage of transition in their lives. It is common during and after the training to have moments of clarity around what they need to support themselves during these period of change.

Stronger intuition & trust for self and the universe

Everyone is intuitive; it is a muscle that most of us haven’t worked out enough! Your Reiki journey can help you reclaim these innate gifts. Reiki helps you to return to wholeness. You learn to trust yourself and the little nudges that your intuition provides for the next step. You invite in stillness as you know it’s only in the pauses that you can truly hear your inner wisdom and guidance. You learn to experience the difference between your heart and mind ‘voice’.

Be more of who you truly are

This quote by Danielle LaPorte sums it up ‘Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be’.

Reiki helps us to open us more and more to our true nature. I’ve seen this in reiki students who continue their self practice, as they peel away the layers of beliefs, patterns and habits they have accumulated along the way – they always say they ‘feel more like themselves’ which is such a gift to witness.

More compassion, gratitude and appreciation for life, self and others

Reiki opens up the Heart Chakra. You learn to balance the mind and your heart so they become more in harmony with each other. You discover how everyone and everything in your life has served your growth, which results in deep feelings of appreciation and gratitude for life.
