Communication is a tricky thing. You know that all too well if you’ve ever asked for a raise, broken up with a romantic partner, expressed anger with your parents as an adult or confronted someone who’s been disrespectful to you. Getting your point across so that you are clear, kind and rational can be tough and even tougher still is how to go about doing that. Reiki is a powerful tool that can help you navigate the minefield of connecting in so many ways.
We all get that background noise in our heads: self-doubt, worry about what might take place and lingering anger over what happened before. None of that encourages us to be present, does it? It’s a distraction. Reiki soothes emotions, smoothing over the rough edges so we’re able to attend to what is actually happening right in front of us or at least to be able to breathe through it all.
Reiki also aids in detaching from outcomes. If you're anything like me...

a complete release of the ego is something I long for and understanding that expectations are born from this place within our being motivates me to detach. The grace that is Reiki makes it possible for us to see expectations for what they truly are and let them go. The energy allows us to be more compassionate, seeing others as whole beings not just the sum of past events, as well. It enables us to hear what’s being expressed (including another’s fears and self-doubt) instead of what we assume or fear.
Who doesn’t want to feel pleased with how we’ve behaved in every circumstance? Like grief counselor Ted Wiard likes to say, “You can only clean your side of the street.” By being clear about the energy present and having intention we’re a lot more likely to have a squeaky clean street and be happy with how we conduct ourselves. Reiki helps us to remain in integrity and not be triggered. In addition, having experience with the energy teaches us to understand energy in general, enabling us to sense escalating emotions ahead of time so we can respond quickly working to decrease drama. Perhaps even more important is that Reiki effortlessly encourages us to come from a place of love and kindness in all situations.
Finally, Reiki gives us courage. We’re empowered to enforce boundaries with love and respect. Further, the energy makes it a whole lot easier to ask for forgiveness because we are better equipped to recognize when we’re wrong and not feel so afflicted by it. Reiki gives us the strength to support others in need whether with words of encouragement, the patience to listen or through expressions of empathy. It also gives us the confidence to cut off unhealthy patterns and relationships. Being bolstered by Reiki makes it possible to be more fully ourselves—for me that means being as dorky, happy, enthusiastic and passionate as I am—without reservation. By extension it permits us to share and be vulnerable so we can learn, heal and receive support. Isn’t that what connecting and communicating are all about?
So when would be a good time to receive Reiki to best position yourself to take advantage of all its benefits? Before a big event you’re able to be steady and strong during challenges and ready for fun without concern for those things that don’t matter, like how you might appear. Afterward it lessens the charge of conflict, helps you to more fully feel gratitude for good times and be aware of the big picture: we all teach one another.
Learning Reiki gives us even more options. A practitioner can send the energy ahead of time to facilitate conversations and to one’s self in any situation so she can be present without diversion. Someone who’s been attuned to Reiki can treat himself before and after communicating to see things more clearly and to process change more easily.
Reiki can help you speak your mind, come from a place of love, be clear, reinforce boundaries and soothe emotions. Let the energy in and see what it can do for your communication.
