Bit of a thought spiral today and I’m curious what others think. Can Reiki be used for more than just healing? Like, if you’re receiving a session, could you actually harness that energy to fuel your own intention? Not just relax, but really charge up something you’re calling in?
A lot of older systems like Hermeticism, witchcraft, and ta**ra all follow a similar formula: raise energy, focus your intent, and direct it toward a goal. It’s not about fixing yourself, it’s about consciously steering energy.
Reiki is usually seen as neutral and passive, something that flows in to help you feel better. But what if you’re actively involved during the session? What if you’re meditating, visualising, feeling deeply connected to something you want to create? That starts to feel less like relaxation and more like a ritual or spell, doesn’t it?
It wouldn’t go against anything. In fact, it lines up with how energy’s been worked with in a lot of other systems, including older Reiki practices before it was cleaned up to fit into Western models.
So I’m wondering — has anyone tried this? Using Reiki not just to soothe, but to ignite?
I’d really love to hear your thoughts or experiences. Not preaching, just vibing with the idea.
