Did you know that you have a superpower within you? It's called intention, and it is an important part of your Reiki practice. In this article, we'll explore what intentions are, why they're important in Reiki, and I'll tell you a simple way to set your intentions before a Reiki session.
What Are Intentions?
Intentions are goals that you create in your mind. They're your way of saying, "This is what I want to happen!" Think of them as commands that you give to the universe, guiding your energy and by stating just the way you want.
Why Are Intentions Important in Reiki?
Focus: Setting intentions in Reiki helps you focus your energy. It's like having a special recipe for your Reiki session. When you know exactly what you want to achieve, your Reiki energy becomes focused on that outcome.
Positive Vibes: Intentions fill your Reiki practice with positive vibes. When you set a positive intention, you bring more happiness and healing to yourself or the person you're helping.
Empowerment Intentions make you the boss of your Reiki practice. You get to decide what you want to happen, and Reiki helps you make it a reality. It empowers you to create positive change.
How to Set Your Intentions in Reiki:
Let's learn how to set intentions before a Reiki session. It's easy!
Take Deep Breaths: Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Inhale slowly through your nose and exhale through your mouth. This helps you relax and focus.
Clear Your Mind: Imagine a bright, clear sky in your mind. Picture any worries or thoughts as fluffy clouds drifting away, leaving only the clear sky.
Choose Your Intention: Think about what you want to happen during your Reiki session. Do you want to feel relaxed and calm? Do you want to feel healthier? Maybe you want to feel more confident or happier. Your intention is like a special wish.
Say Your Intention: In your mind or out loud, say your intention. For example, "I want to feel calm and relaxed," or "I want to feel healthy and well." Say it with confidence, like you mean it.
Feel Your Intention: Imagine your intention coming true. Feel how it would be if it were true right now. Let the feeling fill you up with positivity and excitement.
Start Your Reiki Session: Open your eyes and begin your Reiki practice. Your intention will guide your energy and make your session extra powerful.
Trust Reiki: We don’t always know what is for the best, but Reiki does. If the Reiki session does not work out the way you intended, trust that Reiki worked in a different way because that was how it could bring the best result.
Remember, setting intentions in Reiki is like creating a magical map for your energy. You have the power to make wonderful things happen with Reiki and your intentions. So go ahead and give it a try!
