We know how to use Reiki for healing others by channelizing the creator energy through our bodies. We can thus help others in overcoming their physical and emotional traumas. For this we use the laying off hands technique and this is the way to cure others. But there are times when we ourselves feel low of energy and require healing ourselves also. That is where Reiki and self-improvement comes into the picture. There have been much effort in this direction and different ways have been suggested for healing one’s own self. Some of them have been developed recently by experts also.

One of them is the technique called Reiki meditation which is taught under advanced Reiki. It can be and has proved to be greatly effective and helpful in self healing in times of emotional and physical health problems. Under this system, the Reiki symbols and energy is used to focus and heal one self. The doer imagines or visualizes the power symbols on his or her forehead when doing meditation. The focus is to heal the consciousness using Reiki energy. It helps the practitioner stay calm and composed with centred thought process. Stress is relieved and the practitioner is in touch with one’s own self easily and strongly. This goes on to make him or her strong and effective when healing others. This is necessary also periodically to regain or readdress oneself with the divine creator energy. The healer becomes more capable in healing others.

Meditation has proved to be of immense value and advantage to healers. They ‘arm’ the healer and he or she is able to see through many events and problems. Intense meditation helps one to get sudden insights into big and long standing problems. There are sudden flashes of insight and the doer finds that suddenly a problem is solved. The frequency of such flashes increases with more practice of meditation. Mostly they relate to one own self and personal experiences. There is no confusion and everything suddenly becomes so clear and transparent. This is also regarding any difficult period or situation in life and one can apply the insight onto real situations in life to solve complex situations, events and relationships. This enables one to use the knowledge in future so that there is no repetition of the same problems. There is also an increase in confidence level and the negative emotions such as hopelessness and lack of self-confidence melt down and there is progression towards better state of self-management. All this enables one to heal others in much superior way compare to that in the past.
