When to do Reiki self healing
I am often asked about when to do Reiki self healing.
I learnt Reiki in 2001. In the first few months I found that if I left it for later on in the day, some days it just did not happen. I soon realised that it would be helpful to build the Reiki self healing into my routine.
For me the best way to ensure that it did happen was to start my day with giving myself a Reiki treatment on waking up. Even if it meant setting my alarm for waking up 15 minutes earlier I felt that it was worth it as 15 minutes of Reiki is probably equivalent to an hour of really deep sleep.
When I go to bed at night, again I put my hands on myself and give myself a brief Reiki treatment then too. Doing some Reiki self healing at both ends of the day meant that I was doing at least half an hour of self Reiki every day.
This morning I read the following words in an online article by Matthieu Ricard and felt inspired to share them with you as they articulate the benefits of starting and ending the day with Reiki self healing very beautifully:
“The most important time to meditate or do other types of spiritual practices is early in the morning. You set the tone for the day and the ‘fragrance’ of the meditation will remain and give a particular perfume to the whole day. Another important time is before falling asleep. If you clearly generate a positive state of mind, filled with compassion or altruism, this will give a different quality to the whole night.”
As Reiki is my spiritual practice I found these words to be very helpful and supportive.
With gratitude to http://www.cygnus-books.co.uk/magazine/2012/02/what-is-happiness/ for sharing Matthieu Ricard’s article and to Phil Slade for the photograph.
You always inspire me and I believe a lot of people for daily self practice.We may or may not feel the benefits at present but the practice itself reveals them to us by awakening our souls in a much broader way.
Very beautifully said Vandana.

Loved this post – you’re right, people are always asking when the best time to self treat is … and basically, always is the best time. But yes, I personally like to self treat at night. Anyway, liked this post so much I’ve added it to my top ten Reiki blog posts this month
Thank you Fiona. It is good to know that my thoughts are being read and appreciated.
I absolutely agree what you say about meditation in the morning, our most powerful thoughts are when we first awake, so its important to make these good, powerfult and peaceful thoughts… i also think its important to do some meditation, prior to going to sleep…
Reiki is so basic yet so powerful, and this is what makes it an one-of-a-kind recovery device that anybody can find out, since it does not need any sort of previous encounter or special capacity.
