“When a
student asked me, ‘You
learned Reiki 29 years ago. What kept you doing Reiki self-healing all these
years?’
My honest
answer was—experience.
Every time
life challenged me…
Every time I was tired, confused, hurt, or overwhelmed…
Reiki gave me clarity instead of chaos,
calm instead of fear, and strength instead of helplessness.
Self-healing
became my quiet conversation with myself…
A space where I could listen, release, and return to balance.
I didn’t
continue Reiki because someone told me to.
I continued because my life became lighter, clearer,
and more compassionate with it. Also I witnessed how Reiki
transformed my Reiki students who diligently practice daily self healing.
And once
you feel that transformation within yourself, Reiki is no longer a practice—it
becomes a way of living.”
When
Reiki Starts Responding: Crossing the Threshold of Deep Connection
Recently,
one of my Reiki students asked me a question that truly touched my heart:
“Is
it possible that Reiki’s effect or impact changes over time? Earlier, I seldom
felt that Reiki was hearing what I was saying. But nowadays, it feels as if the
connection is much stronger—almost as if I am being heard more clearly. Is this
true? And if yes, is it because of increased practice or something else?”
Reading
this message filled me with quiet joy. Because this question does not come from
doubt—it comes from experience.
It is a sign that the student has crossed an important inner threshold in their
Reiki journey.
The Threshold of Reiki
Connection
Yes,
Reiki’s impact does evolve over time.
Continuous
Reiki self-healing practice is required to reach a stage where a deep, living connection
is established. Until then, Reiki may feel like a technique—something we do. After crossing
this threshold, Reiki becomes something we are.
The time
taken to reach this stage varies from person to person. It depends on:
· One’s current
spiritual maturity
· The sincerity and
regularity of practice
· One’s sadhana in previous incarnations
For some,
the connection deepens quickly. For others, it unfolds slowly and gently. There
is no comparison—only individual journeys.
What Strengthens the
Connection?
I replied
to my student with what I have learned through years of practice:
“Regular
self-healing strengthens the connection. Over time, a thought crosses your
mind—and it manifests.”
But there
is more to it than manifestation alone.
With
consistent practice, something subtle yet profound happens:
we begin to align more
deeply with the Universe itself.
Alignment with Universal Will
As Reiki
practice deepens, our desires slowly shift. We no longer wish from
restlessness, fear, or lack.
Instead, our thoughts arise from alignment
with the Universal will.
When a
wish is in harmony with the larger intelligence of the Universe, manifestation
feels effortless. At this stage, one naturally feels:
· “I am being heard”
· “Things are falling
into place”
· “Life is
responding”
In truth,
the Universe has always been listening.
It is we who become clearer
receivers.
A Teacher’s Quiet Sadness
I have
hundreds of Reiki students, and I know—honestly—that not all of them practice
daily. This realization fills me with a gentle sadness, because I know what
they are missing.
In this Kaliyug, where
distractions are endless and the mind is constantly pulled outward, Reiki is the surest and
simplest way to:
· Stay connected to
one’s inner self
· Remain aligned with
the Universe
· Maintain emotional,
mental, and spiritual balance
Reiki does
not demand renunciation or withdrawal from life. It only asks for regular presence.
Why I Keep Coaxing My
Students
Whenever I
get the opportunity, I gently remind and coax my students to maintain their
daily self-healing practice. Not out of discipline—but out of love.
Because
Reiki practiced occasionally is helpful. But Reiki practiced daily is
transformative.
Daily
practice is what:
· Builds trust in the
unseen
· Deepens intuition
· Turns healing into
a lived experience
A Gentle Reminder
If you are
a Reiki practitioner and feel that your connection is weak or inconsistent, do
not lose heart. The connection is not absent—it is ripening.
Show up
every day.
Place your hands.
Sit in silence.
Trust the process.
One day,
quietly and unmistakably, you will realize:
the connection has
always been there—and now you can feel it.
And here
is a Reiki
affirmation:
“I commit to my daily self-healing. I trust the rhythm of my journey. I allow
my connection with the Universe to deepen naturally.”
