Reiki During Corona Virus Lockdown

Reiki during the Lockdown




Given the current world situation we are all adhering to the lockdown guidelines. Staying at home and practicing Reiki during Corona virus lockdown is the best way to contribute to the world. While some people may be thinking that we cannot make a difference unless we have the opportunity to physically volunteer in this crisis. You will agree that as Reiki practitioners, we can make this a spiritual lockdown and there are multiple ways you can contribute with Reiki. Here are a few:

Self-development in times of Covid 19



The first and foremost thing to focus on is your own development. That is why self-healing is a major part of all Reiki training. Now that you have more time in your hand, focus on creating a routine for yourself. Fix a time and place and decide to at least do daily Chakra healing for yourself in peace.

In the case that this is already a part of your routine, expand it a little to add exercises that can strengthen your practice.
  • Gassho Meditation
  • Reiki Baths
  • Immune Energizer
  • Salt water baths
  • Consuming food and water that you have energized with Reiki.

There is no limit to how you can use the energy to benefit yourself and others. Remember, it is important for you to be in a holistic healthy state yourself to be able to heal others effectively and that is why self-development is the first step to take.


Heal Family Members at Home



To look at the brighter side of things, we are forced to be at home and spend time with our family members. People who sometimes get neglected because we are running behind our professional careers.

Make use of this time and offer to heal the people at your home-they may be going through a lot of things that you are unaware of. I know people who are suffering from anxiety because of this crisis, and people who are overwhelmed with all the housework, for instance.

In general, whether the problem is physical, mental, emotional or spiritual, or even a simple Chakra balancing, Reiki healing helps everyone.

Distance Healing during spiritual lockdown



The beauty of Reiki is that you can send positivity, love, health and energy from the confines of your own home across large distances if you are a Reiki level 2 practitioner or above.

Time and size do not matter to the Universe and the intelligent Reiki energy reaches the receiver with the correct use of Reiki symbols and intention. If you have learnt Reiki II (or higher), you know what I am talking about.

Use your Reiki training and offer your services to anyone who is willing to receive the healing. In case you have only learnt Reiki I as yet, do not fret, you can still use your palm chakras and place a photograph of the person you are healing between your palms and intend the Reiki healing to take place for them.

Alternatively, you may also use a piece of paper, write out your intention in the present tense as follows: 'I am so happy and grateful now that (ABC) is healing holistically', hold that piece of paper between your palms and give it Reiki energy.

Healing Mother Earth during Pandemic



Currently, we are in a global pandemic. It is not a single country or a single city or a single group of people that are affected but the entire world.

Healing the whole Earth has become of utmost importance for mankind and as Reiki practitioners, you can do your bit.

If you have learnt Reiki level III especially, use Gassho meditation to expand out your healing energy from your own home and out to cover the world.

You can hold a small globe key-chain or the picture of the world map in your palms and intend for the healing to occur. Extending compassion in this way strengthens your aura and your healing, making you a powerful agent of change.

Teach Reiki to your friends/family

If you are a Reiki Master or Grandmaster and are at home, take this chance to teach your family members or roommates (provided they are willing and eager to learn).

I have always had the issue of my family members lacking the time to learn and now that they are all home, I have begun teaching them. My cousin has already finished her Reiki I learning and is excited to learn Reiki II in a few days.

The lockdown has given us the time to teach, and practice together daily. A luxury not many of us have access to because of varied schedules.


Read, read, read during spiritual lockdown!



This has little to do with the use of Reiki energy directly but I still think it is extremely useful to do so. I have found that personally, reading blogs or even books like ‘The Original Reiki Handbook of Dr Mikao Usui’, ‘Essential Reiki’ (Diane Stein) gives a great insight into the healing process of experienced Masters.

Other books that have helped me understand manifestation and healing are
  • ‘The Secret’ (Rhonda Byrne)
  • ‘Master Key System’ (Charles Haanel)
  • ‘Power of the Sub-Conscious Mind’ (Dr. Joseph Murphy)

After practical experience and intuition, the one thing that can add to your knowledge as a healer is definitely reading!

I hope you make the most of this time in keeping yourself and others around you healthy and calm!
