A Reiki healer’s reflection on finding peace within

Something bad, something that makes me feel terrible, seems to happen almost every day.

I used to blame the people who caused the problems and treated myself as a victim.

But one day I realized that if I kept thinking like that, I would never be happy,
because I cannot control others.

So now, when something bad happens, I practice Reiki and meditation.

Self-Reiki helps me calm down and focus on my feelings.

 

Then I gently ask myself:

What are you really feeling?

Why do you feel that way?

What is the reason behind those thoughts?

While I ask myself these questions, I feel as if I am sinking deeper into my true self and gently touching it.

🌿Through Reiki and meditation, I have learned that every challenge is also an invitation to return to myself. Even when life feels difficult, there is always a quiet place inside where I can connect with peace and strength. 🌿

 

I teach Reiki as my profession, and I’m very interested in meditation and breathing,

because they help keep the mind calm and make Reiki easier to practice.

When Mikao Usui, who founded Reiki about a hundred years ago,

meditated for three weeks, he wasn’t trying to discover some kind of superpower.

Yet in the midst of that deep meditation, he did. His experience inspires me to keep meditating every day.

 

Does it work?

For me, the answer is yes.

Whenever I meditate, my mind becomes quieter,

my body feels clearer, and I sense the flow of energy — reminding me that I am part of the flow of universal energy.

That is why I recommend meditation to everyone: it opens the door to strength, clarity, and the quiet power within.

Each breath is a reminder that I’m alive, connected, and still learning. Perhaps that is the real gift of meditation.
