Questions to Ask Yourself
EXPLORING THE SELF THROUGH REIKI
SHOULD YOU LEARN REIKI FOR YOURSELF? | YES. A MILLION TIMES, YES.
Our work begins within.
If you’re seamlessly navigating 2020, I applaud you. For most of us, this is a time of rapid change, confusion, exhaustion, and uncertainty. But - 2020 is holding a crucial magnifying glass to our areas of deep work and potential growth. Maybe you’re learning how you want to show up for others. Perhaps you’re learning to wade through discomfort and fear that’s arisen. Maybe the match is lit, and you’re ready for profound change, and you understand that begins within.
WHY REIKI? | IT’S A POWERFUL - AND ACCESSIBLE - TOOL.
Reiki Level I is Reiki for SELF.
Learning Reiki is a tiered system. There’s 3 - sometimes 4 - levels of Reiki, and they all begin with Reiki for self - Shoden.
Most teachers, including me, encourage working solely on one’s self before moving to other levels of Reiki. This is a period of personal exploration, healing, and growth so that you’re in alignment with your highest purpose.
Sit with that.
It’s easier to rush. We’re used to constant motion and movement, endless scrolling, mindless behavior, to the point of ignoring what truly matters.
Reiki helps change that. It helps us reconnect body to mind, and from that place of connection, we can take inspired action.
IS REIKI THE MAGIC ANSWER? | NO.
But it’s a step.
It’s an invitation to work on yourself physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
That may feel uncomfortable to hear right now with the world in turmoil. It can feel counterintuitive, and possibly selfish, to invest in yourself.
Ask yourself - How are you feeling? Is the collective turmoil manifesting as anxiety, confusion, frustration, and anger - a feeling of simultaneously wading through mud and being unable to slow down?
Reiki is a step. It’s a tool. It’s not magic, but it feels that way.
SHOULD YOU LEARN REIKI WITH ME? | POSSIBLY. POSSIBLY NOT.
You should learn from a teacher you’re drawn to who meets your learning style and will nurture your growth.
While I’d love to share the power of Reiki with you, there are many wonderful Reiki Master Teachers, and one - probably more - is right for you. Especially now, with the power of Zoom, you could learn from a teacher across the globe.
Find a teacher that cares about you, supports you, and invests in you.
There’s work to be done.
With Light,
Nicole
