A contemplative practice is always beneficial, Maggi. Your husband can place hands and be present with his breath. This is not, however, Reiki practice because he hasn’t received the initiations.

Pamela….I am Reiki 2 & have recently ordered the Reiki timer thru you. I love it, it helps me doing self Reiki & helps me to not fall back asleep in the morning in bed.

Do you feel it is beneficial for my husband to join me in self Reiki in the morning even though he has not had any formal instruction or initiations ? I have only shown him 8 hand positions that I use. I think at the least it is like a meditation for him.

If I just “show up” and do it, I’m always rewarded. Sometimes it’s the satisfaction that I was disciplined enough that day to follow thru. In the early morning hours, sleep always calls me to come back. It’s a struggle to just roll over and give myself Reiki sometimes. But I’m always glad afterwards. For me gratitude and Reiki are practicality synonymous.

For me, I find that starting my daily practice again has helped me in many ways. Sometimes at the end of the day, I’m just so worn out. But after doing Reiki as I lay in bed, I find myself calmer, more relaxed, and able to sleep better. I recently reconnected with my Reiki I teacher, and we had a good discussion. it helps keep things in perspective for me

Carolyn and Getchie, you have captured so many feelings that I share, that Reiki is a traveling companion for life, that practice is a gift through which we transform our lives and our world. Thank you both.

Practice is, to me, a gift. Ever since I learned to practice Reiki from Pamela I have felt connected to life instead of overwhelmed by it…such a sense of joy is truly a gift. Thank you all for practicing…I think the world is happier because of it.

I feel that I’m at the beginning of a lifelong journey…in the same way that learning tai chi takes a lifetime. Recently I was blessed to find Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide at a store in Provincetown, MA: I was riveted to it and couldn’t put it down! A colleague now tells me that she hands a copy to everyone she trains in reiki as a gift at the end of the class. The book has inspired me to continue daily morning self-reiki sessions, however brief…When I gave a session to a friend recently, she said she said she could feel that I was “more powerful” as soon as I put my reiki hands on her head…Thank you, Pamela, for sharing your own continuing journey and your passion for reiki.

You make a good point, Graham. No matter how experienced we are, it just doesn’t make sense to assume we are noticing everything that’s happening. It’s helpful to draw a distinction between the sensations of a session–whether self-treatment or received from someone else–and what is really happening, which is likely more than we ever know.

Hello Pamela, I find that when nothing seems to be happening from my perspective the recipient will have a different experience and get some very profound healing.

Pamela, I just found your blog and it’s a good reminder that the importance’s to practice or continue a routine even when it does not feel like anything is happening.
