Reiki Blog by Kelly Flack

Let’s face it — life gets busy. Between full-time jobs, family commitments, and the endless to-do list, it can feel almost impossible to find time for self-care, let alone spiritual practices like Reiki. But as a Reiki practitioner, your energy matters — and the truth is, you don’t need hours in a day to make Reiki a part of your life.

In fact, just a few intentional minutes a day can make a powerful difference to your energy, your mindset, and your connection to Spirit. In the video below, I share 3 easy and time-friendly ways to incorporate Reiki into your daily routine, even if you’re constantly on the go.

🌞 1. Start Your Morning With Just Four Minutes of Reiki

The first few minutes of your day set the tone for everything that follows. Even before you get out of bed, you can start your day with calm, clarity, and connection by placing your hands in four key positions:

  • Eyes – to support clear vision for the day ahead

  • Ears – to tune into intuitive nudges and listen deeply

  • Back of the head – to calm mental chatter and promote presence

  • Crown – to open to divine guidance and your spirit team

This 4-minute Reiki ritual in the morning doesn’t just nourish your nervous system — it reconnects you with your higher self before the world pulls you in all directions.

🌙 2. Reiki Yourself in Bed at Night (It’s Okay to Fall Asleep!)

Bedtime is often the only quiet moment we have all day — so why not turn that moment into a healing session? As you lie in bed, simply activate your Reiki and allow your hands to rest on your body. You don’t need to overthink it — even if you fall asleep with your hands in place, Reiki will still flow.

💡 Tip: Try focusing on one chakra per night — start at the root and work your way up over the week. This helps bring balance and a sense of intentional healing without overwhelming your schedule.

🌀 3. Use Reiki Symbols to Pre-Send Energy for the Week Ahead

This is one of my favorite time-saving Reiki hacks: Set up energy boosters in advance! On a piece of paper, write down each day of the coming week. Then, for each day, draw the following symbols:

  • Cho Ku Rei (power)

  • Sei He Ki (mental/emotional)

  • Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen (distance)

  • Cho Ku Rei again (to seal and amplify)

Once the symbols are drawn, beam Reiki energy to the paper for a few minutes. This "stores" Reiki to activate each morning, creating an energy boost for you throughout the week — like a spiritual meal prep!

💛 Remember: Reiki Doesn’t Have to Take Hours

Reiki is a gentle, supportive practice that can adapt to your life — not the other way around. When you make Reiki part of your everyday moments, even if only for a few minutes, you’ll notice greater calm, stronger intuition, and deeper self-connection.

Whether it’s a quiet 4-minute morning reset, a bedtime hand placement, or setting up weekly boosters with symbols, you have the power to stay energetically supported — even on your busiest days.
