Preparation of Self for Reiki Self-Treatment

• Wash your hands (for sanitary purposes)
• Relax in a comfortable position (sitting or laying down)
• Play soft, relaxing music if you wish
• Cover yourself with a light throw or wear a sweater
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing
• Remove watch and jewellery or metal objects (okay to leave wedding rings on if you wish)
• Ground and protect yourself
• Set your intent – remember, it is your focus and intention that starts the Reiki energy flowing

Examples

• To heal your illness or disease
• To release pain, stiffness or discomfort
• To remove energy blockages from past or present issues
• To release toxins and impurities from your body
• To cleanse and balance your body
• To energize your body

• Silently state a simple invocation – remember, thoughts are energy and action always follows a thought

Examples

• Let Reiki flow for the highest and greatest good
• To be a clear channel for Reiki universal life force energy

• Ask for assistance from your Spirit Healing Team (which may include your guides, angels, Ascended Masters/teachers, Usui sensei, other Reiki Masters or universal source)
• Begin your self-treatment hand positions holding for 3-5 minutes at each position or follow your intuition and do what you are guided to do
• When finished, cleanse yourself using the dry brush method or shower method, etc. (to disconnect your energy from your Spirit Healing Team)
• Say a silent prayer of gratitude
• Wash your hands (for sanitary purposes and to remove excess contaminated energy lingering in your system)
