What do the first 30 minutes of your day look like, your morning routine? Mornings provide the perfect canvas to be able to set the tone for the day. I wake up at 6.00am and immediately get into a 30-minute meditation session which consists of transcendental meditation techniques of 15 minutes followed by visualization meditation. I am able to set my intentions for the day in the meditation as I find a space of stillness. I also take a few minutes to ask for protection for my day ahead. I alternate my meditations between desire visualizations, Buddhist healing meditations and sometimes just a simple breathing meditation. Invoking Reiki is a must as healing is activated for the day.

It has been my goal ever since that as many people learn Reiki so that they can self-heal and change their lives for the better. What are the key short and long-term benefits of Reiki?
