QuestionI had an interesting talk with a man...doesn't use Reiki on himself much but says he does on others....hmmmm. 
How many of you who can do Reiki actually Reiki yourself?
Do you do it each day or only if you think you need it?
For me...I reiki myself each morning briefly, but at night it is a full Reiki and usually puts me to sleep. I don't think I've missed a nite since my first attunement...course I am Sage/Reiki addict.

Interesting question........
To be honest, I tend to send Reiki OUT to others........Not sure why I rarely think to Reiki myself.

See I wonder about this...we should not neglect ourselves in our endeavors to help others. I think many a Reiki practitioner would be better to and for themselves if they got into the habit.
Something I try to impart on my students...if they are to learn, to help and to heal, one must be a good channel and good vessel...like muscles that need to be toned to keep fit...so if all the time you have in this busy loud world is that time between laying under the covers and sleep, turn it on.

You're right..........(sigh)........It's the same thing I say to young mothers.....
You need to take of yourself.......It's not selfish, because if you don't, what use will you be to those you love?
Thank you for this reminder.

Call me greedy... I use it mostly for me, my home, and the people in it.
I wanted the attunement to aid ME in my own development so maybe my mindset was different from the start......
I reiki myself every night unless I am so tired I fall asleep first (rare), I reiki when I meditate 3-5 times a week, I reiki the house and family whenever I think of it...... If I miss a day I feel less grounded and more scattered......
I love reiki it has been a huge help in reinforcing a big shift in my everyday life.

I reiki myself regularly
I do not use the manual positions
I use hand positions that I am comfortable with
The hand positions can be a little uncomfortable
One should be comfortable with what you do
You are the most important person that you know
You cannot help others if you cannot help yourself
Its not being selfish
I tended to put others before myself
But now I have learn't my lesson well

I used to reiki myself every night.
Now my routine has changed.
I go to bed so late and fall asleep.
On the occasions I do do myself, I cannot get past my throat without getting fidgety and having to stop.
But you are right, we should treat ourselves regularly.
Love mia xx

oooh Mia sounds like the throat is the one you need to work on.
try sending yourself distant Reiki to pick up while asleep. this is great for using the emotional symbol on a bad habit too.

Ah great discussion! I just let my hands lay where they wish. Sometimes on my belly, sometimes one will want my chest wheist the other my belly or even my head....I just trust the Reiki to find it's way to where it belongs.
I've got another question? (dontcha love it )
Do you believe Reiki "heals"? I'll withhold my opinion for now. If so, what have you healed and for how long, and did it work?

I read and believe that the reiki (healing energy) enters the body and the body uses it as it needs to.
I think if reiki is given over a period of time and regularly it can heal.
If the healee is meant to and/or wants to and believes he/she can heal.
I have not healed anyone.
I did try, but he gave up, said it was a waste of time.
Broke my heart that did.

Does reiki heal?
Well thats a loaded question isn't it 
I think those who wish to heal will and those who don't wont.
Sugar pills can heal, if the person taking them believes it will heal them.
Every one of us is in a position to be as sick or as well as we wish to be, reiki is simply another tool. IMO

I tend to reiki others more than myself, but I do reiki myself when I feel the urge or "need" to. I just have this sense that "now it's time to take care of me" and I reiki myself, however, not a full treatment, I just lay in a comfortable position and lay my hands on myself wherever is most comfortable in that position and reiki, usually falling asleep while doing so...I always wake up feeling much much better...

Ah Kathy..but that is a full treatment..Reiki goes where it is needed because "Reiki IS"..love it!
