Today is celebrated the world day of Reiki and Reikista, and I wanted to take the opportunity to write about it, because this System has been very important for me, in this journey of learning the management of universal energy and also about generating good karma and positive vibes for me and everything around me.

Reiki is an ancient Japanese technique of channeling healing energy through the laying on of hands, is a system of harmonization and natural healing, which works on the basis of:
"REI": universal energy coming from the source that nourishes all existence.
"KI": vital energy found in every living being.
That is, this technique seeks to connect the universal energy with the energy of each living being, and acts at the physical level (body), mental (thoughts), emotional (emotions and feelings) and spiritual (energy and connection with the Divine).
How is this possible?
It's possible to achieve this encounter between Rei and Ki energy, because every particle of our body contains the information of the Universe and gives us access to that connection with the Totality, we are sparks of Divine Light, we share the same source of the Creator and all existence, so we can achieve that connection at the time we want in many different ways, and Reiki is one of them.
For me, Reiki more than a technique or healing system has been a philosophy of life, it's not a religion, and the only dogma it proclaims is based on the principles that support its practice, which are:
I found this path more than 15 years ago, and it has been a path that has helped me grow, evolve in consciousness and connect with the power of my inner healing force, that power that we all have by sharing that essence of light with all that exists.
Reiki helps us to maintain a balance in our energy and to connect with higher frequencies such as love, peace, compassion and forgiveness.
Although it has a method to follow and you must be initiated by a Master for its practice, I can recommend that you seek that encounter with the Universal Energy through yourself, practicing every day these principles that I showed you above about harmonizing our energy. It's also important that you close your eyes for a few moments before starting your daily routine and ask that universal energy to converge with yours and guide your every step.
So rather than highlighting the benefits of Reiki in this post, I invite you instead to explore within you that healing power, believe it or not we are all endowed with it, it is something innate in all beings and not a supernatural gift as we have been led to believe since time immemorial.
Give permission to the Universal Energy to be part of all possible aspects of your life, bless the food you eat, bless every being that is part of your life and your environment (even those who do not like you), visualize yourself surrounded by a sphere of light as if it were a protective shield, these are simple habits that you can incorporate to generate that conscious link with the Energy.
To close, I leave you a meditation exercise that you can practice at the time of day that is most comfortable for you, you simply must have a space of about 5 to 10 minutes, and release all the occupations you have to devote yourself entirely to the exercise, you can put a relaxing music of your liking to help you generate the atmosphere of meditation:
Sitting comfortably, with your back straight, close your eyes and take slow and deep breaths, go releasing the tensions of your body with each breath, if you observe any distracting thought let it pass, do not get hooked with it, just continue with the breaths.
When you feel relaxed, place your hands in front of each other and in that state of stillness perceive the energy that forms between your hands, it may be in the form of heat, tingling, a magnetic force, current, or even you can not feel anything at all, let these sensations flow, do not interpret, or make use of reason to explain what happens or does not happen.
If you feel any of these sensations, the presence of the energy between your hands, move your hands little by little, moving them away from each other, without losing that connection, play with that energy until you form a ball between your hands that you can manipulate, stretch and pick it up. With that warmth in your hands, take them to your heart and invoke the Universal Energy, ask it to irradiate you with energy and experience that moment of connection for a few moments letting flow all the blessings that will come to you at that moment.
I hope you enjoy this meditative exercise, and if you practice it or have done it before, I would love to hear about your experience in the comments.
Wherever you are I send you the best of energies ✨
