Trusting the Energy: How My Reiki Practice Has Grown Over Time
🌿 How I Send Reiki Has Changed (And Why That’s a Good Thing)
Reiki has been part of my life for a long time now, and like anything meaningful, it's evolved over the years — in how I practice it, how I understand it, and how I offer it to others.
When I first began offering distance Reiki, I followed a very structured approach. If a client booked a 30-minute session, I would sit in silence and actively focus on sending healing energy to them for every one of those 30 minutes — no movement, no distractions, just me and the energy.
And while that method worked well for a long time, I’ve since come to realise something important…
Reiki isn’t limited by time, space, or how long I sit cross-legged with my eyes closed.
What matters most is the intention. The connection. The channel. The trust.
🌙 The Way I Work Now
These days, I work with a more intuitive approach — and it’s actually made the energy even stronger in many cases.
Now, when someone books a 30-minute Reiki session, I connect with their energy field and set a very clear intention for Reiki to flow to them over that entire time. I spend around 5 to 10 minutes actively directing the energy (longer in some cases or for some services such as body scans, etc), and then I step back and allow the healing to continue doing what it does best: flowing, shifting, supporting, and integrating.
It’s a bit like this:
Imagine two types of rain — a slow, steady drizzle, or a sudden downpour.
You’ll still end up just as soaked. One takes its time; the other gets the job done quickly — but the result is the same. That’s how Reiki can work too.
The energy doesn’t need me to sit in complete stillness for 30 solid minutes in order for you to receive a full session. Once I’ve opened the space, the Reiki continues flowing to you across the full time you’ve booked.
✨ Your Session Is Your Time — Always
One thing that hasn’t changed — and won’t — is my commitment to creating dedicated space for each client. When you book a one-to-one Reiki session with me, that time is yours. I don’t double-book or stack appointments back-to-back.
If your session is booked for 11am on Sunday, then that full 30-minute period is devoted to you. I won’t be working with anyone else during that time, and I won’t interrupt the flow of energy. That session belongs solely to you, and your healing.
I believe that kind of intentional space-holding is just as important as the energy itself.
🔮 Reiki Has Evolved — And So Have I
Reiki itself has changed so much over the years. What used to be considered quite “rigid” in its teaching has opened up, allowing practitioners to work more intuitively, more energetically aligned, and in ways that suit both giver and receiver.
I’ve learned to trust the energy more. To trust myself more. And to honour the way Reiki works — not by force or fixed routine, but through intention and flow.
So yes, the way I send Reiki has changed… but the energy itself? It’s as powerful and transformative as ever. You’re still receiving the full depth of support, healing, and connection — just in a way that works for the world we live in now.
