⨠Reiki & The Light Within â¨
Reiki isnât just a soothing experience â itâs an awakening.
When we receive Reiki, itâs like someone turns on a gentle light inside us. This light brings warmth, clarity, and a deep sense of connection to our true self. But that same light also illuminates the places weâve tucked away⌠the shadows weâve learned to hide in order to feel safe.
And this is where many people become surprised.
After a Reiki session, itâs completely normal to feel waves of emotion â fear, sadness, anger, overwhelm, even a sense of âI want to retreat back into what I know.â
Not because Reiki is harmful, but because the light helps us see.
It invites us to witness the parts of ourselves weâve ignored, suppressed, or judged.
When the light touches old guilt, shame, or pain, those emotions rise to the surface to be released. This can feel uncomfortable â even scary â because stepping out of habitual patterns is like stepping out of a dark room into bright sunlight. Our nervous system instinctively wants to go back to whatâs familiar.
But this is where the healing truly begins.
Reiki doesnât force. It gently reveals.
It reminds us that the shadows arenât something to fear â theyâre simply parts of us asking for compassion, presence, and understanding.
If you feel emotional after a session, know this:
đż Youâre not âregressing.â
đż Youâre not âdoing it wrong.â
đż Youâre not broken.
You are awakening.
Your inner light is expanding.
Your awareness is deepening.
And every emotion that rises is an invitation inward â a chance to meet yourself with softness, honesty, and love.
