Why Don’t I Feel So Much When I Self-Treat?
Something that a few Reiki people have mentioned to me is that they never seem to feel too much happening when they are self-treating, certainly not compared to the stronger sensations that they might experience when treating other people. They might feel something happening in their hands when they use a hands-on self-treatment method, but it’s all a bit gentle and unremarkable. So what is going on here? Are Reiki self-treatments weak and ineffective, a thin and weedy version of the powerhouse of treating someone else, or is there something else happening here?
Here’s my take on this…

Which Bits Of Me Need Treating?
Most people in the world of Reiki tend to self-treat in a ‘standard’ fashion, either resting their hands on themselves in a set sequence of positions or, if they are following Mikao Usui’s original practices, carrying out a self-treatment meditation where they focus their attention on a number of specific locations, and allow the energy to flow.
But someone asked me the other day, “how do I know which bits of me I need to treat” so I thought I would put together a reply that may be helpful in some way, because there are few different ways that… Continue reading
Reiki for Stress
Can Reiki help with Stress?
In my last article I was talking about how Reiki can help with Anxiety and while stress and anxiety are often lumped together as if they were the same things, there is quite a difference between these two experiences in terms of what’s going on.
Where anxiety is a fear of an imagined future, where you feel frightened about things that are yet to happen and may not actually happen, with stress you are reflecting on how you believe you’re going to be able to cope with different tasks or events. Stress is all about… Continue reading
Create your own bespoke Reiki symbols
Create symbols tailor made for you
I have written several articles dealing with Reiki symbols and how you don’t need to be attuned to a symbol for it to ‘work’ for you , and that *any* symbol will frame the energy when you focus your attention on it or meditate on it.
It might be useful if you quickly re-visit these posts because they will help with this article:
- Reiki symbols, attunements and beyond
- Some heresy about Reiki symbols
- Let’s explore some non-Reiki symbols
So wouldn’t it be great if it was possible for you to create a symbol that… Continue reading
How to do a Reiki Self-Treatment (Part V)
How were you taught to Self-Treat?
Most people who are taught Reiki will have been taught some form of self-treatment, a way of focusing the energy on yourself, for your own benefit, and the most common form of self-treatment is what I would refer to as a “Standard Western hands-on” self-treatment method. This is where you rest your hands in a series of positions covering the head and torso and maybe beyond, and let the energy flow out of your hands into your body.
It works well, though some of the positions can often be uncomfortable to get to, or… Continue reading

New Self-treatment meditations on MP3
Hi,
I have been beavering away again with my recording equipment, and I have put together a collection of self treatment meditations that you might like to try out. At Reiki Evolution we like to give our students choices when it comes to things like self-treatments, so they can experiment and find the approach that works best for them, so I thought it might be useful to put together a series of guided meditations to make it a bit easier to get into the groove of a particular approach.
These are the approaches that I recorded for you:

The Kaizen of Reiki
If you have come across the word ‘kaizen’ before it will probably have been in the context of industrial quality control or personal development. “Kaizen” is a Japanese word that is usually translated as ‘improvement’, but it means more than that. The word has connotations of continuous, gradual, orderly and never-ending improvement, the willingness to constantly, relentlessly pursue improvement a small step at a time. The application of the kaizen principle is the reason why Japan’s economy was transformed after the Second World War. All workers were encouraged to make suggestions as to how quality and production could be improved,… Continue reading
