Reiki/Energy Healing

I would like to learn how to heal myself and others using energy healing, I believe learning this would help me to also awaken my energy sensing abilities as thats a fundamental part to manipulating energy to heal oneself or others. I understand one must learn to feel out the energy within themselves to attune themselves and others, but I am having difficulty finding resources that do not require payment to learn. I was wondering if there were any Reiki users whom would be willing to share resources to this knowledge, or share their knowledge with me. I am also aware there are other forms of energy healing that are not Reiki based, so if anyone could share those resources with me that is of those respective practices I would be grateful for that as well.

The thing about Reiki is that you do need to be attuned to it by someone at the master level, and that typically happens at the end of a class which costs money. Why? Because the attunement process makes slight changes to your energy system so that you can channel the Reiki energy and use the Reiki symbols, and there are other things that are taught before the attunement. You can definitely practice energy healing without being attuned to Reiki, but it won't be Reiki. The nice thing about Reiki is that you don't need to know how to meditate or anything. You simply intend for the energy to flow when you need it and it does. That's all based on what I've read though and not on personal experience since I don't practice Reiki an have never been attuned.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any other energy healing systems that are that easy to pick up, but the basics of energy healing with your hands are pretty straightforward. It's simply a matter of intending for energy to flow with the intent to heal. Anything else will most likely require a lot of practice.

There are many, many resources on energy healing and they'll all have something different. Different opinions, techniques, etc. One particularly interesting system I've found over the years is developed by a person by the name of Mike Sententia. He has two blogs. His older one is called Magick of Thought, and his newest one is at his mikesententia.com site. He hasn't posted anything since October 2023 though, so I'm not sure what's up. Either way, there's a lot of material to go through. If nothing else, it's interesting to read and may give you some ideas.

There's also an archive of the old psypog.net site that was shut down in 2012 at psypog.info, and there are some healing techniques there.

Hope that helps.

Greetings MageMidas

So having read your post, it's apparent that you are seeking Self Energy Healing, and before giving you a few methods as to how, i would just like to point out, that prior to our present times, we were amidst a global pandemic, and what happened was, that due to restrictions, and not having the facilities of practioners opened who specialised in Energy Healing, one had to look to options of Self Healing, or via zoom sessions. Remote Energy Healing became the new method introduced. And from what I gather, about self healing, it's absolutely going to be beneficial to you in both instances of saving you the cost of going to specialised practioner, and more importantly, this will give you the opportunity on getting to know your own Energies and how to work with them.

So basically you have to start with your own energy before venturing out in regards to healing others. You need to self manifest your own energy first, meaning you need to breathe life into your energy, and understand it, and then when you are ready, you will learn how to manipulate this energy. It all starts with you, because you alone give rise to the power of your own energy.

There are a few basic self energy healing techniques that I will touch on which will probably assist you, and obviously suit your need to not having to pay.

So firstly you make mention of Reiki Energy Healing, which is an ancient Japanese technique, and I will suggest that if you looking to go down this avenue, only a trained or professional practitioner would be advisable because you will need the practioner to physically work on your body.

So my first suggestion for you would be, something that I have studied and have got years of experience in, is Chakra Energies, and this for me serves as a foundation of self healing. Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel or disc, and every human body has this rotating energy fields that centres our body, from the base of our spinal chord, all the way up to our crown.
So when this seven main chakras are healed and balanced, then only can energy flow freely through our body. Self Energy Healing focuses on the balancing of this chakras, removing any blockages to allow for free flowing energy in and around you. Understanding our Energy fields and the chakra system role, gives us the foundational knowledge we need to understand the process of self healing.

So the process of self healing your chakra, is simply done by meditation, meditating on the specific chakra, starting with the Root Chakra. There are many videos and information in regards to the healing of chakras which is easily obtainable, or else you can always mail me for a detailed explanation.

Also you could try crystal healing, so basically crystals are a rock formation which has unique attributes that makes it a great healing tool, especially for beginners. It has the power to bring forth or radiate healing properties to the wearer or user. So you will need to meditate and picture a force of light washing over the negative aspect that you want to illiminate, and holding the crystal in your hand, you touch on to your desired part of your body so the healing process starts to work, again, mail me for a detailed explanation.

You could also engage in Aura cleansing, in which you can use the technique of breathing, ( breath control), which is highly recommended and effective, sound, where you sooth your innerself and being, and mind and thoughts with soothing sounds/music. And as just mentioned, with crystals. Aura cleansing is basically an ancient Indian technique. Aura is an external Energy field that surrounds the body. Just as our inner Energy requires healing, so to does the exterior.

So if you are going to go ahead with self energy healing, there is a host of different methods, which i will gladly assist you with and when you are engaging in self healing be sure to consider the following:

Find a quiet calm space where you feel comfortable in. Keep the space clean and uncluttered, as this will make for positive energy flows. Add element that enhance your intention, like soft music in the background, create a serene environment, light some candles maybe, have a flow of scented aroumas in the air. Also, set clear intentions of what you need, and why you doing this, intension carries Energy flow.
Be open minded to your self and your energy and always remember to be patient in this process.

Self Energy Healing will not cost you money, however it will cost you time to receive it's optimal benefits.

Trust this will be of assistance.

Keith

Draq, I appreciate the resources and info you've shared. I was unaware that an attunement had to be done by another master before being able to fully grasp it. I had done some research on it, and discovered the founder/creator had developed it on their own over a course of many years before sharing it with others, so I had assumed that with that knowledge at ones disposal that others could potentially self attune and master it as well. But I will be looking into the other energy healing techniques you had shared resources for, I greatly appreciate it. I have alot to learn, I've dabbled with magick in the past banishing ill-willed entities. But took a break from spirituality as a whole because I got discouraged that I couldn't sense energy, but seemingly could influence things on the spiritual plane as evident from friends who could confirming my ability to affect spirits. I've yet to influence the physical however, and recently have had lingering shoulder pain and keep feeling a nudge to learn how to address it through learning energy healing. Hoping I can learn and master some form to help heal myself, and progress to helping heal others as well. So I greatly appreciate the resources you've shared.

Keith, I greatly appreciate the bounty of info you've shared regarding multiple energy healing systems. I will likely take you up on your offer to mail you inquiring more in the future. I'm going to be researching these methods and trying to practice one at a time before reaching out, as I want to try to see which if any I may have a natural affinity for, as I don't wish to bombard you with questions until I figure out which ones seem to click with me. Though if I have no luck in any I may still message asking for your advice and input, but want to try to research and test them out first before doing so.

I've had some lingering shoulder pain and have tried simply building up a white energy with the intent to heal and regenerate in my hand and tried pushing that energy into my shoulder, sometimes I will feel tingling in my hand as I'm building up the energy in it, but can't seem to feel the energy enter into my shoulder despite visualizing and willing it to do so. I know in the past I could manipulate energy regardless of my ability to feel it as I used to help cast protective barriers around places and people and banish ill-willed spirits, though I haven't done any of that in a couple of years. Occasionally I will feel when a dark presence is nearby, though they tend to flee once I show up to a place they reside in unless attached and unable to. So I'm lead to believe based on that alone that my magical power itself has not deminished despite my lack of practice lately. Though I imagine energy healing is quite different from banishments and protective workings. So I appreciate the info you have shared and will be researching upon it.

I have put together a couple of articles recently that might help as well. They are pretty long reads so it would kind-of drown this thread if I tried to re-produce them here ..... plus, ... I'm kinda lazy. So I'll just put links instead;

When it comes to Reiki, First, it is not as 'ancient' as people like to assume. As a practice it is surprisingly modern. It was developed by Dr. Mikado Usui in the 19th century. Though it is informed by ancient concepts that have been around since ancient times. So it could be considered a re-discovery or modern re-creation on amalgamated ideas.

This is not to downplay the practice itself, .ind-you. Just an effort to de-mystify it a bit as people get too caught up on where things come from, rather than paying attention to what they can teach

Yes, Usui taught himself and successfully Self-attuned. He studied and meditated and formed connections and tools in the form of imagery he used to symbolism and connect with the concepts and processes of energy-working. And at first he used what he learned for free, but quickly got frustrated with what he was doing being taken 'for granted'. He saw laziness and entitlement in people as they would expect to have their bad choices get fixed for them with no effort or change on their part. So he started charging for his help.

His theory was that if something was costly, only people who actually needed it would come to get it as people would want to avoid the expense, a d would seek cheaper self-care and improvement first. Which became the same practice behind teaching others and passing on the practice.

The trouble arises with the proliferation of the idea that one 'must' be attuned to the symbol shared at each level of training. It simply is not the case. Each symbol is just that, a symbol. It is a tool during a working, and a point of contemplation between them. If you have learned the symbols and practice with them, you will develop your attunement with them over time.

However, having a master help with that connection -does- make that process easier. You can think of it as having someone unlock the door for you, making it easier for you to open.

Nowadays, though, the trouble lies in modern reiki being rife with self-promoted 'masters' who began their careers with money as the first goal, instead of healing or growth. So you get people who get their master level for the sole purpose of offering to sell others attunement to reiki. Often offered as a crash, weekend course. "Two-for-one levels, buy now!" While the traditional method was held to be the first attunement then a period of practice and exploration of (usually) about a month before the second. Then at minimum a year before the third and even longer for fourth. So if you want to go through the attunement route it is indeed something that can be beneficial, but don't leap in to the first ad you see. Talk to and get to know the person first before spilling your money.

As for your shoulder issue, I might have a couple suggestions to try.

First, don't forget to attend the physical needs. Listen to your body and what the pain is telling you. See a doctor, check for a cause. Is it muscle strain or damage? A pinched or inflamed nerve? Lingering damage from an injury? Finding the cause is always the first step to understanding its cure. This is true in medicine and in healing. Solving your pain may be as simple as light stretches and being attentive to allowing the cause to heal. ... Or it might be an outward symptom of something needing more in-depth care which could be overlooked by bypassing the need to stop and pay attention.

Next, when working energy with your shoulder, instead of pushing energy into it try letting the energy pass through your shoulder. Draw energy inward, through your shoulder, and down your arm to carry away the pain and tension. Think of it like washing out the area. Clean away what shouldn't be there and let it be replaced with warmth, light, and healing. Then, consider the idea of that warmth spreading out through you and filling your whole physical body. End the session when it feels like there is no more motion, or if you find your attention drifting uncontrollably. Those are usually good signs that you have done enough for the time-being. Take a slow deep breath, and let it out along with releasing any extra energy and heat. Let it fall off and do something simple and physical for a few minutes. Have a few sips of water, and go for a short walk or do a couple simple chores to bring your attention back to earth.

If you're looking for techniques something I personally do is to try focusing on taking the pain or injury away, rather than adding healing immediately. This tends to work for me as I have found I'm good at banishing and cleansing, but not so much manifesting and it helps me visualise the result. I'll use your shoulder as an example of what I usually do.

With an injured shoulder, I personally put my hands directly on or above the painful area. I'd then slowly close my hand as if grabbing the pain that is in there (which I visualise as a dark purple, sludgy light since it helps me focus on it) I'd then pull my hand away slowly, pulling the pain away with it. Once I feel it is out I would visualise balling it up in my hand and then either sending it down into the earth's core to join the natural process of energy, or do whatever else I may want to do with it. Then I'd do what you did and add energy with the intent of healing.

I hope this helps you come up with some ideas for your own methods ^^
Wish you well on your learning journey :)
