REBOOTING A STAGNANT PRACTICE
If your personal self-Reiki practice has gone quiet, the healing ability didn't leave you.
The attunement is still in your hands. The energy is still there. What went quiet was the habit, and habits are easy to rebuild.
Your return to healing can be really easy, and fun. To get the energy going once again:
✅ 1.) RECEIVE BEFORE YOU GIVE. Book a session with another practitioner, whether a friend or a professional. Let someone else's hands remind your nervous system what the flow of Reiki feels like, and how wonderful it is.
✅ 2.) SHRINK IT YOUR PRACTICE UNTIL IT FEELS RIDICULOUS. Just lay one hand on yourself for one minute, right now. ... Do it again before your feet hit the floor in the morning. Do it whenever you think about it today. The goal is contact, and it needs to be simple. Reiki doesn't have to be an hour everyday if you're just returning to it. You can build up.
✅ 3.) GO SOMEWHERE REIKI IS POPPIN.' A Reiki Share. A class. A room full of people who are practicing. Energy is contagious in the best way, and the amplification of Reiki will awaken every part of you. You'll leave feeling it in your hands whether you tried or not.
✅ 4.) DROP THE STORY ABOUT THE GAP. The months or years you weren't practicing are not a debt you owe. You have not failed. You're not in trouble. I promise you, you don't need to make up for lost time! Your practice begins again the moment you place your hands on your own body. Which could happen right now. And it gets to be fun!
I love watching former students reboot their practices. The practitioners I have watched struggle to return are almost always trying to return to the level they left at. Start smaller than that. Start so small it almost feels like it doesn't count.
That tiny little moment is where your practice lives. From there you can tend it into a nice healthy blaze!
