This is another Advanced Hana Reiki Original exercise for you to try out should you wish. I call it the Reiki Bridge Meditation.

Reiki connects us to the unknown. There is a source of Reiki energy out there someplace (or perhaps it is really inside… who knows) and this meditation is an attempt to connect to the source, where, upon arrival, one may partake in any number of activities. This meditation can be used as a stand alone Reiki meditation, or as the meditational component of Hatsurei-ho… both have their benefits.

To do this exercise, enter your meditation in any way that you find effective. See my post on Reiki & Meditation for some tips in this respect. Once your mind is sufficiently calmed and the inner voice(s) silenced (or at least temporarily stifled) visualize a bridge extending into the distance where you can’t see the other side (perhaps it is obscured in darkness or light or clouds like in the photo or maybe it is just a really long bridge that just fades out of sight). Once you are clearly focused, direct all your Reiki energies along this bridge and as it spans further across, when you are ready, you will eventually feel it connect to the source.

Once you are connected to the source of Reiki energies, you can just absorb the incoming energies, play with it (try to compare it to other energies, test the symbols, etc.), use it for relaxing/centering/focusing, attempt to communicate with it (ask it questions about Reiki, the Reiki energy, your higher self, etc.) draw larger amounts of Reiki in to grow your Reiki channels, use it to connect to other Reiki Practitioners (teachers, students, Usui Sensei, etc.) or just be aware of the connection and attempt to see what it is communicating to you.

The more you practice this Reiki meditation, the easier it will be, the stronger it will feel and the quicker you will be able to connect. After you have gained some proficiency, connect during a Reiki healing session and compare the resulting energy to that Reiki energy when you are not unconnected. Reiki Masters can also connect during attunements to bring a clearer, stronger energy into the student’s auric system. Please let me know if you find any other practices helpful using this meditation or any variations thereof.
