Why All Empaths Should Practice Reiki

CALLING ALL EMPATHS. On my path to become an empowered empath, reiki has been an invaluable practice that has both changed my personal outlook on life and relationships with loved ones. It truly is an empath’s best friend.

It can be hard to maintain energy boundaries for empaths, especially when others are hurting and we want to offer help. If we aren’t mindful, providing assistance can leave ourselves drained in an effort of offering up love and support for another.

This is because us empaths are sensitive to the flow of all types of energy…from the low vibrational energies like anger, fear, and frustration to the high vibe energies like happiness, joy and peace. When empaths are not aware of their sensitivities it can wreak havoc in all areas of life. However, when you choose to take responsibility and own your gift, you are able to enrich your life and the lives of those around you.

Reiki for Empaths

This is where reiki comes in. Also called Ki, Chi and Prana, Reiki is the universal life force energy that flows through all things. In simpler terms, reiki is pure love.

Receiving reiki is like a dose of pure, healing energy whose sole purpose is to serve your greatest and highest good. It clears energetic blocks that affect you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, can relieve pain & stress, lead to heightened intuition & clarity in life, and so much more.

While reiki is a great complement to the healing arts and therapies, there are also benefits for personal and spiritual development. As I’ve found through my own practice, maintaining a regular practice of receiving reiki provides a strong lifeline between myself and the God within (aka Spirit, the Divine, Source, Unconditional love…whatever term vibes best for you!).

Choose Empowerment

I will admit that I was afraid to try reiki at first…in large part because I was afraid of how it could change my life. On a personal note, I was scared of what my life would be like if I released the pain that I felt defined my life, my identity. I was afraid to heal and take responsibility of my life and purpose.

In relation to others, since I’m an empath I was afraid to open myself up to an energy that could affect how I receive energies from others. Would it make me even more sensitive? What if my sensitivity became unbearable and I had a harder time balancing life?

With all that being said, I am so grateful that I faced my fear and received reiki. From my very first session, I received exactly what I needed and felt completely supported. It did not overwhelm me, but rather provided the stability in life I was yearning for. Reiki has forever changed my life and the benefits I receive are still unfolding themselves the more I step into my practice.

In particular, the benefits of either receiving or giving reiki are two-fold. Receiving reiki is the best method I’ve experienced for recharging and returning to my own energy. It helps to clear out the junk you pick up through daily interactions with others.

As a reiki practitioner, I also benefit from being able to provide reiki love and energy to loved ones when they seek support. This way, I am able to give to them unconditionally without draining myself (HALLELUJAH!!).

EMPATHS SUPPORTING OTHERS

As a reiki practitioner, I can now provide others with loving energy to serve them for their greatest and highest good
It also provides the confidence that the energy I give will be directed specifically for them. Since I am nothing but a conduit through which the energy is transferred, there is no pressure that I will not give them what they need
Reiki directs itself, so I don’t have to worry about whether I’m doing something right or wrong
This healing energy can be given to people, animals, plants, the planet, and anything that is made of energy…so everything!

EMPATHS SUPPORTING SELF

I can provide support to others while protecting my energy and boundaries
I receive healing whenever I provide a reiki session for another
Since reiki is a practice, it is a lifestyle change that both empowers and protects me as a lightworker and healer
Provides a means through which I can serve others, and align with my passion to assist others in their self-empowerment
