Lacking Confidence in Your Reiki Practice? Do This!

Christian Reifsteck | Standing Stones Healing Co.

Have you ever felt a lack of confidence in your Reiki practice?

Many years ago, I didn't practice Reiki much at all because I wasn't sure if I was doing it right or if it was working. I just didn't feel confident in myself or in Reiki.

It isn't easy to make ourselves vulnerable by admitting that we might lack self-confidence when it comes to Reiki. But the very fact that we can say yes to this question actually means that we have more confidence than we think.

Wondering if we're "doing it right" is common among practitioners, especially newer practitioners. So what do we do if we don't feel confident on our Reiki journey?

1. Send Reiki to others! Increasing confidence is often only a matter of more practice. Offering more sessions, whether to family, friends, or Reiki shares with members of this awesome group will help you feel more confident.

2. Send Reiki to yourself! Reiki is amazing for all kinds of things, including helping us to feel more balanced, centered, peaceful, calm, and at ease, which goes a long way toward increasing confidence.

3. Trust Reiki. Send Reiki knowing that Reiki is doing its thing...it will go where it needs to go and there is nothing special you need to do. That's right: there is nothing special you need to do! Just send Reiki and know that Reiki is going where it needs to go and doing what it needs to do. When we can trust Reiki and trust its wisdom, then there is no lack on our part to worry about. In other words, you can't mess it up!

A lack of confidence in our Reiki practice is common. But these three steps can help you feel more confident.
