hi there

yes, Reiki will help...and you can choose either symbol to begin with.
My intuition suggests SHK would be great to use first

Thanks Tigress for your help. I was thinking earlier that the master that taught me had said to use the power symbol to activate the other symbols - so would that mean Power/Emotional/Power symbol? Or as you say would the Emotional symbol be ok on its own?

Also she said to work on the chakras around 5 mins each or can you just do what you feel drawn to?

Getting abit confused as to using the symbols - do you draw them on front of each chakra before doing the Reiki or just drawn the symbols on the hand once before self treating?

I draw them on my hands before self treatment

You could always just do a straightforwards self-healing using the 12 hand positions as in Level 1 and see where that takes you!

My advice is to dig out your manuals
And have a good look through them
Remind yourself about Reiki

Thanks for the kind help everyone. Unfortunately I can't find the manuals as yet to have a re-read over it. In the meantime I'll just do whatever feels right and hopefully I'll feel abit better soon.

Thanks again

Why not get in touch with your Reiki Master and ask for new copies or some helpful hints- thats what your Master is there for- to help you through the journey.......

Hi there,
I was the same as you, i was attuned 5 years ago levels 1 and 2, but due to various circumstances stopped practising.
I had a particularly bad year last year and found myself browsing through my old books and started to feel enlightened again (if thats the right word to use). And just placed my hands on myself like I was taught too. and it all just came back to me, as we all know the Reiki is in you all the time.
I would simply say to you, just get some quiet time, light some candles and sit down and just start by placing your hands over your eyes and focusing on the cho ku rei symbol.
Just relax and enjoy and I am sure it will all come flooding back.

Yes might just contact her again, I'm sure she'll give me a manual.

Hi healinghands69. Yeah I've hear of other people who are in a similiar situation to us, went and done Reiki I and II and then due to various reasons stopped practicisng - so at least we aren't alone! Glad you got back into it again and hope your enjoying the energy. I have done self treatments this past few nights, probably haven't felt anything the way I did years ago but as they say do not worry and enjoy it - have also heard of people going for the Reiki II attunement again and I don't know if I need that. Anyway, hopefully all will come back to me soon 🙂

A good way to get yourself back into the way of reiki is to do a 21 day cleanse, just as you did with each degree. Even if you get muddled by the symbols, the basic energy is still there so just tune into that and... just do it!

🙂

Hi Angel

One thing to remember is that you can't do Reiki wrong... and it follows your intention to heal.

To get you back into it I would start back with basics and, as Moonfeather suggested, do some regular self-healing using the basic 12 hand positions and not even bothering with symbols. You can then move on when intuition tell you the time is right.

How about going to a Reiki share in your area? Does your Reiki Master hold one?

You could ask your Reiki teacher if you can sit-in on another Reiki 1 and 2 course as a refresher. I allow my students to come back and sit-in on courses as often as they like (I do not charge them for this). I find this really helps students that have not been practising their Reiki to get more confidence and motivation to kick-start their Reiki healing path. As a teacher I would rather students came back and learned to practise Reiki correctly rather than be lost and confused.

Is there a local Reiki Share group that you can go to. This will help bring back your confidence and give you a group healing as well!

Hello everyone

Sorry am just getting to reply now. I live in Northern Ireland and my Reiki Master is two hours away from me. Don't know any share groups locally, it would be a great way of getting the confidence back again though, must try and see if there is anywhere fairly local where I could go.

I've been doing self healing and feeling good so I must be doing something right lol. This may sound abit silly but when I draw the symbols on the chakra's does it matter which angle I draw them at (sorry I mightn't be explaining myself very well) I usually do Reiki before I go to sleep so when I'm lying down drawing the symbols on each chakra does it matter what angle I do the symbols at?
