View Full Version : REIKI and Tarot or Divination...
Hello:
Are there any REIKI practitioners or masters out there?
If so I'd like to hear how if at all you incorporate Reiki in a reading, or with your cards (some people REIKI their cards), etc.

On next Tuesday I'm going to my second Reiki class and will be certified in Reiki. I never thought of using it in combination with the Tarot, but now........ I'll have to try some things with combining the two and when I do I'll post the results.
Love & light,

Good Luck HoneyDreads. I will taking REIKI II at the end of the month.

Thank you Dee. My mom just completed Reiki II last month, next she's going to go for training to be an instuctor for Reiki. She's the reason I decided to take the class and become trained in it. I'll eventually follow my moms lead by going to Reikie II then becoming and instructor.
I'll let you know once I get my Sacred Circle Tarot deck and have tried it out.
Love & light,

Greetings Dee,
I am a reiki master/teacher (as you already know) and I always use reiki to clear my cards before and after a reading.
Also, you may have already noticed that with each attunement your intuition usually grows and the more you use your reiki, your intuition grows. So reiki yourself every night when you go to bed.
blessed be.

I forgot to mention that you can also use your symbols that you learned during your second degree to set a sacred space for your reading and you can use them to increase the energy in your cards.

Thanks for the info Jade, it will come in handy quite often I think.
Love & light,

When you REIKI yourself every night do you go through all the self-healing positions or do you just do the basic self healing position for a while? Am I making any sense? I hope so.... :)
Yes you are making lots of sense Dee!
I put my hands on my body and don't move them. Reiki goes wherever it is needed and I trust that if my foot needs a healing that the energy will go there is there isn't something more important that needs the energy first.
for example: I may be upset about my sore foot, but the cancer that is trying to take hold in my body may be more in need of the healing.......so that's why we just trust. (and the reiki may need to go to a past life to heal the dis-ease at the starting point of that dis-ease.)
the reason that we do postitions in reiki is so that wherever the reiki 'wants' to go, it first has to go thru that organ or limb etc. to get there, so then you get a complete healing. (does that make sense?)
so at night, i just lay down and relax and meditate while i do my healings. i first do my symbols, of course, but then i just meditate and bask in the light. roll over and go to sleep. it's a beautiful ritual that i never miss.
once or twice a year i redo my cleansing ritual. this is 3 weeks of one chakra a night for 15 minutes each night. so you go thru your chakras 3 times in total. first week, 7 chakras, 2nd week, redo each chakra and then the 3rd week finish each chakra, one a night. expect diarreah, perhaps flu like symtoms and lots of personal movement in your life.....this is a big thing to do, hence once or twice a year. when my students receive an attunement they perform this cleansing for the next 21 days as part of their attunement.
blessed be.

Thank you. I had not heard of the cleansing ritual. That sounds very healing. I will try that.
You also mentioned .."I first do my symbols" ... although I know what you mean in terms of the symbols what do you mean by "you do your symbols?" Is this learned at the master level attunement?
Thanks.
By the way... you are right, trusting myself more is part of the healing that Reiki energy works on in me! I had been doing the self healing position and it was working for me. I guess just like to know how others practice.
The beauty of Reiki is that there is no wrong way of doing it! :)
you'll get your first three symbols with your second degree attunement.

I’ve been reading this forum for a while and have not really visited this board before. Tonight I did and right away saw the post about Reiki. I’m glad I did.
I’ve been a Reiki master/teacher for about three years but I do not consider myself an expert by any means. Even though I often use Reiki to clear and charge my tarot decks it never occurred to me to actually use it during a reading. Guess the intuition thing really hasn’t kick in for me, huh?
I was also very interested in Jade’s description of using the twenty-one day cleansing every few months. I have been hitting kind of a block recently. I live in a predominately male world and most of the Reiki practitioners in my area are female. This isn’t a problem for me as my teacher and all of her students were women. I was the lone male. In spite of that we all got along well and one of my fondest memories of studying under my teacher was the Wednesday night group Reiki sessions. They were fantastic! Any way, in my area there is kind of a lag in male interests in Reiki and I really don’t have access to any groups. I suppose this sounds like poor Rudolph being excluded from the reindeer games. Excuse me.
The upshot of this ramble is that I have sensed the power of my Reiki waning in the last year. The idea of the cleansing struck me as just the thing to rejuvenate me as a channel and clear away some blocks!
Glad I checked the board. Thanks
blue,
hi!!! don't do that chakra cleansing more than twice a year.
it's definitely a good tune up.
your reiki won't diminish but it won't grow if you don't use it. as i said to another reiki practitioner today........reiki is like a seed. you can plant it and watch it grow or you can put it in a cupboard and allow it sit dormant. it never leaves you, but in order to grow it needs light! using it creates the light!
blessed be.

blue,
have you done an attunement lately. i know that it always gives me a huge boost to do a couple of attunements.
blessed be.
