(20 min) Qigong for Reiki Healing Hands
If you’re a Reiki practitioner or want to learn how to activate the healing Qi in your palms, this routine is perfect for you!
With over 20 years of experience channeling Reiki, I’ve found that Qigong profoundly enhances Reiki energy. This powerful synergy is rooted in their shared origins. The word "Reiki" comes from Japanese, where ‘Rei’ means universal, and ‘Ki’ refers to life force energy—the same concept as ‘Qi’ in Chinese. ‘Qi’ signifies life force energy, while ‘Gong’ means cultivation. Both Reiki and Qigong are practices centered on cultivating universal energy for healing.
You don’t need prior knowledge of Reiki to benefit from this practice. We all possess an innate power to heal. This Qigong routine activates that healing power, helping to clear emotions, open energy channels, and awaken the heart. My favorite part of the sequence is Master Usui’s Heart Purification Breath (Jo Shin Kokyo Ho), a Qigong flow that blends Japanese breathwork with intention and movement. The routine concludes with a soothing hands-on healing session, directing the activated energy into your body to promote deep, restorative healing.
