Review notes for 'Remove unwated emotions with Reiki'

If you decide to work with the exercise below you'll soon be aware of changes, insights, feelings or signs that it's in the process of working.

Having successfully used this method in the past, I decided to use it again to work on an emotion of my own.

I felt it would be beneficial to record the results daily over the next 28 days.

Day one - As I started the exercise, beaming Reiki with my eyes and then my hands, I felt compelled to jump up and down on the focus emotion, I guess it had been causing rather more frustration than I first thought!! I then enjoyed the process of watching it surrounded by light and then melting away. I felt that Reiki was providing me with a huge amount of self healing, it immediately felt like the appropriate action to be taking.

Day two - A particular physical ailment, that had been recurring, returned as I was doing the Reiki light box visualisation. I intuitively knew that this physical feeling was manifesting because of the focus emotion I was now working on.

Day three - I was aware that I was able to view the Reiki light box in my mind and practice sending Reiki to it during the day.

Day four - Lots of things have come up that have tested my dedication to this process. I am being given opportunities to use the information I've learnt from this emotion, regularly. I've also started to develop an understanding of why this focus emotion has turned up in my life. It's not easy but it's been enlightening and I feel I'm moving forward.

Day Five - The focus emotion has become prominent in my thoughts. Its clear it's been around for some time. Illogical and repetitive thoughts have kept entering my mind, but intuition tells me that I must let them be and let them pass. I mustn't focus on them because its a clearing of the thoughts that are stuck. I feel happy that I'm moving through part of the process of release.

Day six - I am sending Reiki to the focus emotion regularly. I've also found that its important to read inspiring information and to spend time blessing the wonderful things in my life, this helps to surround me in positive energy and healing.

Every day I have continued to work on the focus emotion, taking notes in a journal I keep. Every day I feel that the challenges have intensified and that it's a journey of self discovery as well as one of conquering outgrown emotions.

Day Seven - It's getting harder to deal with the things that have arisen.

Day Eight - I have written a lot in my journal this morning. I write morning and if necessary evening pages, they have helped me explore my feelings and the emotions that have arisen.

Day nine - I'm making sure I practice Reiki on myself every morning, yes it takes time to write and practice self Reiki, but I feel its necessary to make a commitment to myself and therefore if necessary get up earlier to fit it all in.

Day ten - at some points when I visualise the focus emotion that I want to work on I have found that I can be quite destructive, I jump up and down on it and have even used a hammer on the word appearing in front of me! It's all a good sign that the emotion is really being released.

Day eleven - I find myself looking more and more at the word in front of me and beaming Reiki with my eyes or hands. Today I saw the focus emotion melt away and I was able to direct Reiki to the water left on the ground, it dried in front of my eyes and then I felt drawn to smudging the whole area with sage and affirming 'I am clear, I am clear, I am clear'.

Day twelve - I have been trying to use the Reiki box method, but the beaming method seems more appropriate at present, I feel that the light box will come towards the end of the process to clean up and complete.

Day thirteen and fourteen - I feel a greater sense of calm about the process now.

Day fifteen - Whilst beaming Reiki at the focus emotion lost of colours have started to appear, yellow, cerise, turquoise all stand out.

Day sixteen - colour continues to be present and moving about as if imitating the Northern lights.

Day Seventeen - I've been able to return to visualising the Reiki box more effectively. It feels that the situation is healing now.

Day Eighteen - The focus emotion seems less prominent now. As I visualise it, it already seems to have fuzzy edges and is less of a presence.

Day nineteen - I've continued to use the Reiki box visualisation and this seems to make me feel more peaceful.

Day Twenty - As I do the visualisation I feel a sense of lightness coming over me, as if I can feel healing literally going on inside me.

I have reconvened writing this at the 28th day - There is no doubt it's been a struggle and on some days I felt that the process wasn't really working, or perhaps it was that it wasn't working fast enough for me! Having made a commitment to myself about this I carried on and I'm glad I did. I feel a sense of understanding that I have released the focus emotion and that it has done its job. I feel that things have changed and that I can move forward knowing that its been dealt with. It's a release.

Release unwanted emotions with Reiki

You need to follow this exercise for 28 days in order for it to impact on your consciousness, its very powerful and effective.


Close your eyes and call on Reiki.

Ask that one emotion that is no longer helpful to you be identified.

Relax and note the first emotion that comes to your mind.


With your eyes still shut, see this emotion as a symbol, word or picture in front of you.


You can use either one of the following methods:


Method 1.
Ask for Reiki to heal this unwanted emotion. Thank it for working with you and for lessons you've learnt through it.

Reiki can be beamed to whatever you wish by using your eyes, hold the intention of doing this , visualize yourself beaming Reiki to the emotion (your symbol, word or picture). From the centre of the emotion you start to see golden light growing, it becomes brighter and brighter.
Then you hold your hands out in front of you and have the intention of sending Reiki via your hands. You can now see the golden light encompassing the unwanted emotion and completely transmuting it, melting it away into love and universal energy. You may see other colours surrounding the emotion, relax and let the process happen naturally.

Do this for as long as you feel necessary, 10-15 mins should be ample. Thank Reiki for its help and thank yourself for being able to let go.

If you'd like to use the Reiki symbols you can use what I call a Reiki light box.

Method 2.
Follow the procedure above, inviting Reiki to heal this unwanted emotion, thank the emotion for working with you and for the lessons you've learnt through it.

Draw a power symbol and see it being positioned behind the word, picture, symbol that you are using to represent your unwanted emotion. Then see another being positioned at the front, then the two sides. Draw another above and watch it drift down through the emotion so that it is underneath it, do the same with the rest of the symbols watching each drifting down into the emotion and dissolving it. As you do this golden light is growing from the centre of the Reiki box that you've made and is bursting out all over, finally you draw the power symbol to make the top of the box. Watch as the golden light spreads outwards from the centre of the box and melts and transmutes the emotion into love and universal energy.

Remember to do this for 28 days.

Focus on a smile and laugh out loud

"The most wasted day of all is that during which we have not laughed."
-- R. N. Chamfort --

Start by calling on Reiki to show you the meaning of joy.

If you've been given the symbols then draw the Power symbol, then the Emotional symbol in front of you, saying their mantra three times. Visualise walking right into them so that they encompasses you, hold the intention that you will be enabled to find joy and to find reasons to laugh out loud. Smile now! yes broadly and with feeling, relax into this facial expression and enjoy its comforting embrace.

See if you can go a step further and laugh out loud, right now.

Just for today, at least once, hold a smile on your face with mindfulness. Focus on joy. Relax and use this time to notice those things around you that make you happy.

This week in our office I was able, through this practice, to notice that one of my colleagues chats away to himself while he works, he's not aware of it but it makes me smile because its an individual characteristic of someone special in our team.

I also noticed that one of our staff circles the office regularly to visit the chocolate tin! that made me smile more.

I smiled when I went running last night and watched people passing with the same puzzled look on their faces as I used to have, when I was thinking 'haven't they got anything better to do in this hurrendous weather, why do they put themselves through it!' now I know what a buzz it is and how good it makes them feel. This made me laugh out loud.

Try and cultivate this experience into a practice of laughing out loud. Reiki is about experiencing healing and there is nothing more healing than experiencing joy and laughter.

Living with the attitude of gratitude

I received a book from my Mum some time ago now:
THE GENTLE ART OF BLESSING by Pierre Pradervand (details of which can be found at http://www.cygnus-books.co.uk
I realised that this book had had a significant impact on my day to day way of thinking. It showed me that by focusing on the things I was grateful for I could never worry or anger because my mind would always be full of positive thoughts. I began to work more and more with the idea of blessing all the things around me. At first it was difficult and I thought I was never going to get into the swing of clearing the debris from my mind, my unnecessary worries and fears, but slowly I found that by making a commitment to myself, having a firm intention every day to notice the things that I was grateful for, I found it easier and indeed a pleasure. It even became fun. I worried at first that I wasn't doing it right, I forgot to do it, it was all too much pressure - I came up with a million and one excused not to do it, some quite ridiculous like not having time, how come then I had so much time to spare when it came to worrying.
We all have good in our lives, actually, lots of good stuff. The trouble is we take much of it for granted.
Blessing the things we're grateful for helps us to remember, to stop and appreciate things around us, the things that we have forgotten to notice.
Firstly what does it mean - To bless something means to give gratitude, its a voice from our heart which celebrates our life and all that's in it. There is no discrimination against anyone or anything.
Blessing is simply gratitude; it does away with fears of scarcity and focuses our attention on abundance. It also helps us to reach beyond the things that we see directly in front of us. We start to search beyond the visible; the stillness of air, the warmth of the rain, fern like shapes of morning ice. Its a bit like being a child receiving the gift of a magnifying glass or a microscope, all of a sudden you want to search the house and garden for things to look at under it. It opens up a whole new world, one you'd not been aware of before and one that’s truly exciting, offering a new perspective.
You cannot bless anything without being present, in the moment. Blessing has opened my eyes, has made me want to stop and take in the moment. I've found that by doing this I have become so much more grounded, if I'm constantly looking for things I’m grateful for, I simply haven't got time to worry, I'm present and in my body.
I’m human and I haven’t found it easy to focus on the things I’m grateful for. No one can just change their mind set suddenly, we need patience. However blessing has allowed me to appreciate the Reiki principles in a different way, one that’s more accessible to me.

What is Reiki News and Views

Reiki News and Views is a newsletter sent out every two months to those that are students or practitioners of Reiki. This can be accessed by visiting http://www.spiritandwellbeing.co.uk/

This newsletter is meant as a place to share experiences and ideas about Reiki, with an emphasis on joy. We would like individuals to contribute things that have been inspired by Reiki and which they feel would inspire others.

I decided to start this blog as a way of adding additional information that doesn't make it to the newsletter, but which I feel is of value to those interested in Reiki.
