Connecting to Reiki is easier for some than for others. Some people feel that familiar tingle immediately while others have trouble with it. Different teachers teach different ways of connecting to the Reiki energy, depending on what was taught to them by their teachers… for me its always been to just hold my hands in the air with the intent to connect, and wait for the vibration. Then the longer I keep my hands in the air, the stronger that vibration gets and the further down my arms it travels.

That’s all good and fine, but today I’d like to go beyond merely connecting to Reiki… I’d like to go a bit deeper by exploring the practice of actually going inside Reiki for a quite powerful and most meaningful experience that I refer to as Plugging into Reiki.

Plugging into Reiki requires first connecting to Reiki in whatever way you’ve been taught. Once you are connected, rather than proceeding with whatever task you’ve set out for yourself, hold that connection. Notice how every fiber of your being can sense it. Strengthen the connection by setting your intent to do so. Just imagine the connection getting and it will. As it gets stronger you will be able to feel the effects deeper inside. Spend some time experiencing these deeper sensations. Notice how they effect you not only physically (tingling, vibrating, etc.) but mentally, emotionally and spiritually as well.

Focus on each of your chakras and notice how the deeper connection effects each of them in turn. Notice, that as far as connections go you have just scratched the surface of how deeply into Reiki you can go. Take some time, a few days, a few weeks, a few months… and practice going deeper and deeper into Reiki until you are fully immersed. For myself, when I first experienced this it was like being under water and I panicked because I felt I couldn’t breathe. This is simply not so… but if you get the sensation, just know that you are still breathing in the air, same as when you started.

Once you are immersed… you are, what I consider to be, plugged into Reiki and the possibilities at this point really are endless. It is quite different from merely connecting to Reiki, and, unfortunately it is something that must be experienced to be understood.

So have at it… plug into Reiki and post your experiences here… we’d love to hear all about them.
