🌿 Reiki Is Not Yours to Control 

If you sometimes feel sad for Reikiclients or loved ones when you're channeling Reiki to them — stop it (in the most loving way possible). As attuned Reiki practitioners, we are conduits, not controllers. Reiki is a divine energy with its own intelligence. It knows exactly where to go and what to do.

When we let our own emotions — like sadness or worry — get in the way, we interfere with that intelligence. Instead of helping, we could be sending mixed energetic signals.

🧠 Your Thoughts and Feelings Carry Energy

Everything is energy — including your thoughts and emotions. If you're thinking, “Oh no, this poor person,” during an energy healing session, guess what kind of energy is flowing through the session? Not clean Reiki.

Reiki flows through you, not from you. It's not your job to “fix” people, only to be the open and clear channel as you hold space for Reiki to do healing. Get out of the way.

✋ Stop,  Step Back and Breathe

If you're working on a loved one and begin to feel sadness or concern, pause. Remove your hands, step back, and take a few deep breaths. Detach from the emotional story. You’re not helping by holding onto it.

A powerful tip: see the loved one as a client. This simple mindset shift can help you emotionally detach and stay in your role as the facilitator — not the fixer.

🌊 Let the Energy Flow Through You

By staying emotionally neutral and energetically clear, you allow Reiki to flow fully and freely. You become a clean channel. The more detached you are, the more powerful the healing becomes.

So let go. Stay grounded. And trust that Reiki knows what it’s doing — because it always does.

Get out of the way and in joy The Flow.
