Kickstarting Your Reiki Practice

This post was inspired by an email I got from someone who had done their Reiki 1 in the UK over 10 years ago and had not done much with it since then. Now they have moved to Australia and the time feels right to get back into it and progress to Reiki 2. They wanted some suggestions as to how they could kickstart their Reiki practice again so they could feel ready to take Reiki 2 if the opportunity arose. I thought that if any of you are in the same boat, you may like to read my advice:

I think that the best way to kickstart your Reiki is by getting your hands on and actually practicing it regularly – on yourself, every day if possible, and on as many others as opportunity allows!

This is what, in my opinion, gives you the confidence and experience to want to take things further.

The other very important thing is daily recitation of the Five Reiki Precepts. Often this is not emphasized nearly enough in Reiki 1 courses (and probably not even mentioned again in the other levels) but it is really THE foundation of the Reiki system and can have a very positive effect on your life and wellbeing, spiritually mentally, emotionally and physically.

They are taught for a reason and that reason is to work on a person’s awareness of how they think, speak and act, which has the effect of bringing to mind the precepts when they are needed to help maintain or restore a state of peace and harmony within. This is healing with ‘Rei’ which complements the healing with ‘ki’, the hands on practice.

Just my thoughts - your ideas may vary!

i said on facebook i like it, snd damn it, i'll say ti again! I like it!

the foundation, the ONLY things important in the Reiki experience, are in this post.


let's ask can we put it in th emust read section,

I strongly support self Reiki as often
as possible and not just saying the 5
precepts but putting them into practice.
When I am not teaching Reiki or do not
have clients, I volunteer my Reiki
services, and that helps me to stay
balanced and in harmony with my practice.

ya know, there's maybe 20 or 30 folks i know online that could be said to do this, and you're definitely one of them.

It's a good adwice:o)

The 5 P's has changed my life in so many ways and I'm so thankfull for that.

I do Reiki on myself everyday and I also send healing to others almost every evening and work with Reiki in my clinic and ReikiClasses.

It's my work and hobby and I love it

I talk alot about the 5 P's in my classes and to my clients

Lisel,Welcome aboard

I can't imagine practicing Reiki
without the 5 P's. They help
keep me on the right path.

Colin thank you for this topic!
I am not a Reyki practitioner not even Reki 1 yet (but will be soon ) but I started saying the Five Precepts every morning with Gassho and try to follow all it's said in them and I start feeling changes within me and even with the people around me.
It's amazing!
I have also an affirmation about Love I say every day while I walk to the tube station when I go at work and every evening on the same way back.

I started saying it about a month ago ...before I found this forum and I see now how many things came to me like a gift from the Universe :
I found this forum which is becoming as a second home to me and you folks whom I start feeling like my second family and most important I found my Teacher Colin, I've never imagined I would meet such a person and he to become my Teacher

Affirmations do miracles and I don't asume The Five Precepts are the foundation of Reiki and I think that everyone who want to get into Reiki has to start exactly with them not only like saying them as words but as Bridget said "putting them into practise".

Here is the affirmation about Love I say:
I Love Myself,
I Love The Spirit That I AM
I Love The Body That I have
I Love The Life That I have
I Love The Work That I Do
I Love My Family
I Love People
I Love Nature
I Love The Earth
I Love The Creator
I LOVE....
I LOVE....
I AM LOVE !
Hope you like it and even someone maight want to use it also
Love Light and Angel Blessings

Your affirmation brought images
of the 4 year old in her shortie
PJ's dancing on top of her bathroom
sink singing into the mirror...I love
my house,I love my bathroom, etc; I
believe its also on utube. i think
she's about twelve years old now.
That was affirmation from the heart

That's the point!!! To feel and experience The unconditional LOVE as an innocent child and to love everything and everybody and yourself in the purest way possible...to get back through this uncoditional LOVE back to the Source and to become ONE with the Oneness....

hai friends,

When i started my reiki journey my master told all thing which every master said. But that time my life was so difficult and hard or mind was so confuse i forget five principal just did healing everyday 24 part and that was also hard for me in believe my life will be normal. So five principal i never said . But everday heaing automatically give me uncodition love and I feel this unconditon love have a result of all this five principal.....

I felt the value of five principal reconised, when i started to write/reading article of reiki site where all reiki people saying about this five principal but now i feel uncondition love have everything...... But this stage came after many many of year and grace of lot of saint. So new comer should fellow this principal or those who's brain unable to remeber this just do everyday pracatise in hope of coming is best....


Taka care

vj, good point when first introduced to Reiki
we are focused on getting our health under
control. I emphasize the 5 precepts, but find
myself reminding my students again and again
to practice them. Put them on their fridge door
near the home telephone or where ever they feel
they will be seen. Not memorize them but practice
them. It is a challenge to not worry not get angry
be grateful/work hard/ be kind.

hi this topic was started a while ago but i'm relearning how to apply the 5 principles.

talking the talk

is a whole lot easier than

walking the walk
