The great spiritual teacher, Lazarus, said that a great healer was one who got really ill and healed him or her self. 

Reiki is a wonderful technique to carry along in your Well-Being Toolbox. It is easy to use and does not require anything but your comforting hands. For traditional Reiki hand positions please see my Self Treatment Page with video. 



 Reiki is so easy to use.  I practice Reiki right before I go to sleep at night and when I awaken in the morning. I use a pillow to support my arms. Placing my hands on my heart, solar plexus or lower abdomen or hips is very easy. I can feel the warmth and relief and relaxation flow through me. Reiki self-care can help me have a peaceful sleep as well as make my day more relaxed and easy going. 

You can prepare by using your Reiki symbols (optional) Lie down and place your hands on your body. You can use traditional hand positions or non-traditional hand placements. While you feel the touch of your hands on the body also become conscious of your breath and observe it flowing in and out for awhile. Enjoy how your body feels more relaxed. The act of placing your hands on your body and following your breath has brought you inward where all the outer influences have quieted down. Letting go of your day and going inward is so relaxing and peaceful. It also allows your mind and body to repair, release and rejuvenate. 

Here are some Non-traditional hand positions:

Insomnia is so frustrating and depletes us mentally, physically and emotionally. Sleep regenerates neurons* that enable the brain to function at it's best.  We mustn't mess with our neurons so I use Reiki to ease and relax my  mind. I lie on my side and place either hand (which ever is easiest) over my forehead.  My palm is on my third eye and my fingers drape gently over the top of my head. You will find this position to be very soothing. Allow your mind to latch onto that initial comforting sensation, With this sort of mind body practice and disengaging from tension you may find this a great relief and fall gently asleep. One can use a pillow to prop up the elbow if needed for comfort.


Reiki puts me right to sleep.
It feels so soothing.










40% of Americans are afflicted with insomnia due to daily stress.


FYI : Oddly enough the third eye has been believed by ancient man as having an energetic connection to the pineal gland in the brain. The pineal gland secrets melatonin and influences our sleep-wake cycles.

* Neurons are nerve cells which are electrically excitable and processes and transmits information by electrical and chemical signaling.
