Reiki is a beautiful form of healing
If you are new to it, you might be wondering how often you should receive Reiki
Or how often you should give it to yourself if you are learning for the first time
There is no limit to how much you receive Reiki. Most practitioners recommend 4 days in a row if you have a specific reason for needing Reiki. Once a week is fine if you are doing it without reason. If you are doing Reiki on yourself, you should be doing it every day
There are not very many drawbacks to Reiki
The main one is feeling tired if you have someone major to heal from
Reiki encourages the body to heal naturally
When the body is healing naturally, you feel more tired because your body does its best job healing when you are sleeping
It is also a lot of work to rebuild something!
If you are not trying to heal from something, Reiki will likely relax you and give you some energy
If you want to get it done more, do it!
Should I go to a Reiki practitioner or should I do it on myself?
If you are a Reiki practitioner, you can definitely do a Reiki session on yourself!
If you are learning or thinking about learning, it depends on if you are in a hurry or not
Reiki takes time to learn and get good
Even when you learn, you need to practice
So if you want a Reiki session now, going to a practitioner is your best choice
They will give you the full benefit of the time they spent learning
And you don’t have to spend all that time learning before getting a session
Some people prefer just going to a Reiki practitioner!
And that’s a valid reason too
When you do to a Reiki practitioner, you don’t have to worry about anything
You just follow their directions and let them do the work
If you want to learn Reiki and aren’t needing a session now, then learning it so you can heal yourself might be the best choice
So if you aren’t sure what is better for you, I hope that helped!
How often should I go to a practitioner?
Since there is no maximum for getting Reiki sessions, the best choice is to talk to your practitioner
They will help you create a schedule that matches your needs and schedule
If you are healing from someone major, more Reiki sessions are better
If you are trying to prevent issues, you can get away with fewer sessions
But your practitioner is the best person to talk to and discuss what you need
Make sure that you choose an honest practitioner that cares about your wants, needs, and financial stability
Some people will try to overbook you to get more money
So just be aware of that when choosing your practitioner
The more questions they ask you before making a recommendation, the better
That means they are taking the time to understand you before making any recommendations
How often can I do Reiki on myself?
If you are giving yourself Reiki, there are two reasons you should do it once or twice a day
The first reason is the more you practice, the better you will get
So it is important to practice at least once a day just to improve your Reiki skills
The second reason is that there is no maximum for Reiki
Doing it for yourself every day will only benefit you
It will create a routine that helps set your day up for success
And doing it at night will help you let go of the daily stressors to improve your sleep
It is recommended to spend 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes at night doing Reiki healing on yourself
Can I receive Reiki too often?
Reiki is not like pharmaceuticals or other drugs
It isn’t even like natural supplements
Reiki is a natural energy healing technique that encourages your body to heal itself
Since there is no way to overdose on positive energy and intentions, you cannot receive Reiki too often
If you are going to a practitioner, the main thing you need to balance is how often you need Reiki and how much you can afford
If you are doing Reiki on yourself, it is recommended to do it at least once or twice a day
But you can do it whenever you have time and feel like you need or want it
If you are like me, you have spent way too much time struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and just all the intense pressures of being an adult
Reiki is so freeing and calming
That is why I decided to learn it
So I can do a session every day to set my day off right
And I can do it before bed to lay all my stresses and frustrations to bed before going to sleep
As someone who lays awake thinking about what I didn’t do and what I wrong my entire life, having something to put my mind at peace is valuable
Sometimes when I am having a particularly frustrating day with my kids or work, I will put on a movie to keep my kids distracted and do some Reiki
I repeat that I have been having a rough moment but that moment is over
This moment is a clean slate and I can choose how it goes
I try my best to never say that I am having a bad day
That sets me up for the rest of the day is bad
If I say that I have a rough moment, that moment can pass and open the rest of my day to good moments
Reiki is a great way to end a bad moment and start a good one
