Reconnecting to Reiki Without Another Attunement
There are seasons in every Reiki journey when the energy feels strong and alive, and other times when it feels like it’s barely there. You might even wonder if you’ve lost it. You haven’t. Once you’re attuned to Reiki, that connection never leaves. It’s part of you. What fades is our awareness of the flow, not the energy itself. The moment you place your hands on your heart and say, “Reiki, I’m here,” the current begins to stir again. Reiki doesn’t forget you, it simply waits for you to remember.

As a Reiki practitioner, you can help create an environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and ready to receive energy. Here are some tips and tricks I’ve found really effective.
What If You Doubt Your Attunements?
Ever wonder if your Reiki attunement really “took”? Once you’ve been attuned, the energy is always with you. Feeling disconnected usually means you’re out of practice, not that Reiki left you.

“What Even Is Reiki?”
Reiki isn’t as out-there as it sounds. It’s not magic or fluff—it’s an energetic reset that helps your body calm down, breathe again, and start healing. You don’t have to believe in it. You just have to show up.
The Truth About Reiki Symbols and What They’re Really For
In this post, I’m diving into the deeper truth behind the Reiki symbols, what they actually are, how they differ in Western and Japanese Reiki, and why I believe they’re more for you, the practitioner, than your clients.

Whether you're new to Reiki or evolving your practice, this post will help you connect with the symbols in a more embodied and empowered way.
