Benefits of Daily Reiki Self-Healing (Shared by Real Practitioners)

Recently I asked an online Reiki group what benefits they’ve experienced from daily Reiki self-healing practice. I wasn't sure anyone would reply, but the responses were more enthusiastic and impressive than I'd expected!

They ranged from subtle shifts to deeply personal experiences. I tried to group them into physical and mental/emotional categories, but there's a bit of overlap.

The final category made me giggle. It's like a secret reiki trick. I didn't know how to describe it, so I went with A Fun and Unexpected Benefit of Daily Reiki

Replies are still coming in, but I think this is enough to get started.

Here are they are. The real benefits practitioners shared after committing to regular Reiki self-treatment: (To respect privacy, all responses are shared anonymously, though the quotes are real and unedited.

Emotional and Mental Benefits of Reiki Self-Practice

I find it amazing how self Reiki can bring me back to center mentally and emotionally.

I do reiki self clearings daily and it’s honestly my favorite practice. My nervous system has become so attuned to my own touch. I love being able to calm my system instantly at any moment and trust myself to get embodied quick.

I noticed myself being less reactive, much better moods, some pain management, nervous system regulation and my intuition is getting better

I do self reiki 2-3 times a week now. In the beginning it was every day. Through self reiki AND shadow work, I'm no longer depressed. I feel at peace most of the time.I no longer have Hashimoto's disease, I no longer either type of sleep apnea and blood pressure is back to normal. I know longer take any prescription meds.

For me, regular self Reiki has been less about “magic” and more about regulation. When I place my hands on my body and slow my breath, I feel my nervous system settle. My chest softens. My thoughts slow down. I respond instead of react.

Over time, I’ve noticed I cry easier in a healthy way. Emotions move instead of getting stuck. I sleep deeper on the days I practice. My body feels safer with me.

It’s also built self-trust. Instead of spiraling or looking for answers outside, I sit with myself first. That alone has changed how I run my business and how I show up in relationships. That’s been my experience now I’m looking forward for my self reiki practice.

Physical Changes Noticed with Daily Reiki

Amongst many other benefits, one thing I've noticed from regular reiki practice is that my raynauds doesn't flare up like it used to before I was reiki attuned.

Apart from from emotional healing, mental clarity, a feeling of safety and focus within (in the center), I also experienced healing of insomnia, poor blood pressure correction and pain killing.

Well I was pre diabetic a few weeks back. I started self healing for this and now here I am, healthy as I was a few months back. This is just one story..

I was told in my early 20’s I’d never have children naturally and lo and behold after self healing with Reiki I had my 2 miracle babies naturally. It helps me sleep, it calms my anger, it helps when I get sick. Recently had foot surgery and it helped speed up the healing and fuse my bones. It helps me see the bigger picture and to look at things with a calm perspective. It’s bought me to meet and teach some amazing people.

Health issues....leg cramps disappeared.... dizziness when laying down in bed and sitting up next morning.... disappeared....

Is Daily Reiki Self-Healing Worth It?

As you can see, these responses don't promise miracles.

As a matter of fact, I always remind students and clients that Reiki works in its own way — and doesn't always provide the miracle we were hoping for.

But I thought these answers were a wonderful array of positive experiences. They show how the effects of a simple Reiki practice compound over time ... and sometimes turn out even more beneficial than we'd imagined!
