Reiki is not a weekend hobby.
It’s not just a short course.
It’s not just symbols and a certificate.
Reiki is a path.
At Makoto ReikiDo, we don’t just teach techniques.
We cultivate practitioners.
We honour the roots.
We embody the practice.
We grow in community.
A weekend can introduce Reiki.
But living Reiki is something you deepen over time.
If you feel called to walk it — not just try it — you’re welcome here. https://makotoreikido.com/

🌿 A gentle reminder about healing

Sometimes after a Reiki or energy healing session, people expect to feel instantly calm, light, or blissful. And while that often happens, it’s also completely normal to experience the opposite before things settle.
You may feel:
Fatigued or heavy
Irritable or emotionally sensitive
Flat, teary, or restless
A bit “off” or unsettled
This doesn’t mean the healing didn’t work — it can actually be a sign that your system is processing and releasing old, stuck energy. As balance returns, the body and nervous system may need time to recalibrate, much like muscles can feel sore after physical therapy.
Rest, hydration, gentle grounding, and self-compassion are especially important after a session. Most people notice clarity, calm, or relief once the integration phase has passed 🌱

The mandala, formed patiently from the earth itself, is returned to the earth with reverence and care. In this gentle act of release, we honour the teaching of impermanence—recognising that all things which arise are destined to change, dissolve, and transform. What was once shaped by mindful hands now becomes formless again, reminding us not to cling to beauty, effort, or outcome. As the mandala merges back into the soil, it carries our prayers, intentions, and gratitude into the living body of the Earth, affirming the natural cycle of creation and dissolution, and inviting us to rest in humility, presence, and trust in the ever-changing flow of life

purification is about facing the extremes. true cleansing or refining of the self often involves confronting the most challenging or intense aspects of life and emotion, rather than avoiding them. Learning to see the inherent value and beauty in all experiences, recognizing that even the most challenging moments carry potential for teaching and growth. It’s not an easy practice and involves feeling all of the emotions and not trying to change that. It’s like navigating the rapids of a river, you will eventually emerge into smooth and calm waters 🙏 🙏
