How to find the perfect Reiki Practitioner for You.
Congratulations on beginning your spiritual healing journey! I know the road of self-discovery and healing has been quite the experience thus far. So you may be looking for resources and guidance to help you along the way.
Sometimes the weight of heightened awareness gets too heavy to bear on your own, and you need support from an expert to help you navigate this new experience.
One common resource enlightened newbies tend to search for at the beginning of their spiritual awakening is energy healers. Many ancient alternative healing modalities out there specialize in clearing out old stagnant energies so you can openly embrace what is new.
But one healing modality has gone mainstream as of late because of how accessible it is.
Reiki practitioners have been on the rise, especially since the pandemic, because you can receive this energy healing virtually anywhere in the world. Yes, virtual reiki healing is a thing, and the term for it is distance reiki.
But before you begin your search for a reiki practitioner, there are things you should consider while looking for an energy healer. Let us get into how to find the right reiki practitioner for you.
Location, Location, Location
Whether you receive reiki in person or online, you should consider the location of a practitioner. The location of your practitioner will influence factors like appointment times, travel time, and cultural competency.
So a practitioner may have rave reviews, but their location could affect your level of service. Scheduling conflicts can occur when booking with a practitioner at a distance. And if either you or the practitioner is running behind schedule on appointment day, you may have to reschedule your appointment for a later date.
Also, consider that practitioners in different time zones or hemispheres may not fully resonate with your healing journey because of cultural differences. Cultures in the East tend to raise their children on spiritual principles, but in the West, we come to spirituality later in life.
So, it helps to find a reiki practitioner that is familiar with or can identify with your cultural background.
Value Systems
It is affirming to have a reiki practitioner with the same cultural background as you. But make sure that your values align with those of your practitioner.
Consider if the practitioner solely focuses on energy healing or do they also incorporate mysticism and occult sciences.
Understanding a practitioner's healing style helps you avoid awkward situations that could deter you from energy healing altogether. If you are religious, look for a practitioner with the same religious affiliation or background.
And, yes, religious energy healers do exist. I believe religion was born out of spirituality, so the two are intertwined.
How to find the perfect practitioner
Some people get discouraged on their spiritual healing journey because they have issues finding resources relevant to their personal experiences. But do not be afraid to ask for directions.
There may be different types of energy healers, but we are all here to help.

What is energy healing, why is it important?
If you have recently embarked on your spiritual healing journey, you might have noticed the wealth of resources regarding energy healing. But what is the deal with energy healing, and why is it so important?
There are logical and scientific explanations for why energy healing greatly benefits humans.
When thinking about physics, particularly kinetic energy, we understand that energy in motion stays in motion. In this case, energy is transferred from one point to another through overt force to set an object in motion.
But where does that energy go once the object stops moving? This energy gets imprinted on the particles and molecules surrounding the resting object as potential energy.
Our bodies are composed of molecules like nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen, to name a few. And these molecules arrange themselves based on the potential energy they receive via energetic points on our body called meridians.
Meridians mimic your circulatory system but send energy to your vital organs instead of blood.
But you do not have to be a scientist to understand the importance of energy healing. Let us discuss energy healing in simple terms and go over examples of practical applications.
Energy Influencers
The quality of energy flowing through you will determine the quality of your molecular and physical body.
So what can influence your energy? Your thoughts, deeds, speech, and anything that can elicit a reaction or emotion from you affect your energy levels.
For example, negative self-talk decreases your serotonin levels and lowers your enthusiasm for the things you love. Or being in a stressful situation can put your body in a constant state of fright or flight and cause heart health issues.
And if you expose yourself to negative influences over an extended period, you may find it hard to snap out of harmful emotional patterns and cycles.
Emotions like sadness and grief can get stuck and cause blockages in our energy field. And ultimately leads to a decrease in vitality and hinders your quality of life.
Since we come in contact with many different energies daily, our metaphysical bodies become clogged with energetic waste. So you can see why you may feel disoriented or delirium after being in huge crowds.
A balanced energy field leads to a stable mood, increased vitality, and good health. So regularly clearing your energy is a practice you should add to your self-care toolkit.
Energy Healing Clearing Practices
Clearing your energy is not an elaborate task, and you do not need expert guidance to get it done. The hardest part about this self-care practice is finding the time to do it.
So carve out at least one hour per week to energetically reset. The more you commit to energy clearing, the better you will feel.
Affirmations
The best way to witness the power of words and intentions is through speaking to your plants. Get two plants and speak positive words to one plant and then speak negative ones to the other plant. You will visibly see the difference between the two plants over time.
The plant that received positivity will thrive, and the one that received negativity will deteriorate.
The human body is affected similarly by words and thoughts. So it helps to listen to, speak, and think high vibrational thoughts to refuel your energy.
Practicing positive affirmations keeps a steady flow of good quality energy flowing through your meridians. State ‘I am’ affirmations like ‘I am courageous’ or ‘I am beautiful’.
Saying ‘I am’ statements directs the positive energy towards your solar plexus. This chakra is the energy center for your self-image and identity.
Listening to motivational speakers and soulful sounds also promotes a healthy energy field. You can listen to binaural beats and sound frequencies specifically made for clearing and recalibrating your energy.
If possible, steer clear of gossip and negative Nancy's too. Remember that you are the company you keep, so do not waste your good energy on the wrong crowd.
Dopamine Detox
Another thing you should steer away from is mindless tasks that yield instant gratification. The dopamine hits you get from quick results can become addictive. It is a high that will satisfy you temporarily, but it is not sustainable.
And with all addictions, you will find yourself constantly chasing that dopamine high. You begin to lose the attention span and will to work towards longer-term goals. And your energetic body becomes depleted because you are not accessing sustainable energy.
Consider weaning yourself off instant dopamine hits like aimlessly scrolling online or binge-watching TV.
Engaging in activities that require your attention for more than thirty minutes is a great way to build and maintain your energy reserves. Reading, exercising, and creating art are great ways to sustain your energy.
Grounding
Connecting with nature has phenomenal benefits for the body. And since mother nature has regenerative qualities, you will always receive invigorating energy while outside.
An easy way to connect with nature is through grounding. Take your shoes off when you visit the park or beach to connect with the earth.
When you sit next to or hug a tree, you get access to nurturing motherly energy. And because trees are some of the oldest plants in nature, they hold the purest and most nourishing energies.
Practitioner
Our bodies are good at restoring themselves from setbacks when given the proper care. But in certain instances, we may need the help of a professional when we find it hard to recover.
Energy healing practitioners exist to help clear your energy and increase your vitality. And you get to choose from a host of energy healing modalities depending on your preference.
Consider doing extensive research before selecting an energy healing practitioner.
The last thing you want is to be uncomfortable with your energy healer because you will feel defensive and be unable to receive the healing. And when you feel nervous or uneasy in a situation, your energy centers will shut down as a protective response.
What is energy healing, and why is it important?
Energy healing has been around for ages. But like most things, if you have never encountered it before, how would you know it existed?
So take your time while exploring the realm of energy healing because there is plenty to learn.
