Edit: I’m really excited to announce that LightSoul Holistic is offering a 33% discount, all you have to do is subscribe to their blog and send an email with the heading Lifesfinewhine33 for the discount.

Recently I had the opportunity to try distance Reiki with a fellow blogger on WordPress that offers Reiki among other things. I’ve always been curious about Reiki and I’m trying to do new things this year so I was really excited about it. I thought I would share my experience with you guys today.

If you’re interested in learning more about Reiki and booking a session- read more about it here.

Peace/Relaxation

You may not know this about me (you may have guessed though lol) but I’m someone with an extremely active mind and tend to ruminate on things. It’s something I’ve been actively trying to work on but I honestly just have no chill. I have the hardest time sitting down and doing nothing. My mind tends to wander off, and it doesn’t help that I no longer meditate daily. It’s been a rough year and being alone with my thoughts isn’t something I’m always able to do.

During the distance Reiki session, I was told to find a quiet, calm, and comfortable space, and did so. Usually, I have a hard time shutting my brain off but it felt almost effortless during the session. Both my mind and body felt at ease. My shoulders were no longer stiff, my wrists and hands no longer felt overworked, and my mind stopped ruminating and overthinking. I felt this calm wash over me, like a breath of fresh air. This feeling remained after the session ended and I’ve noticed a significant decrease in my rumination/ruminative tendencies.

Hydration

I thought I would also talk about how the session affected me aside from helping with relaxation. Firstly, as you may remember, I’m a very dehydrated person. I don’t drink much water, I drink maybe two or three glasses a day on a good day. Honestly, I just never feel thirsty that often.

However, I think the distance Reiki session helped me connect my mind and body better because I noticed that, for the first time, I actually felt thirsty and have been drinking more water since the session. At least 5 glasses a day.

Screentime

I have a (bad) habit of scrolling through social media, especially before bed. I think it’s because I’m tired at the end of the day and just need a distraction from my thoughts. But I’ve been trying to reduce that for the last few weeks, and on the day of the session I actually didn’t even get on social media at all before bed. That was definitely a first for me.

Overall

I was very satisfied with the distance Reiki session and felt that I got what I was looking for from it. My goal was to better connect my body and mind and be more relaxed/at ease, and that’s what I got. I would really strongly recommend giving Reiki a go if it’s something you feel you will benefit from. Especially if you’re like me and tightly wound, treat yourself to a relaxing Reiki session.

Reiki And Other Services

If this sounds like something you would like to try out, LightSoul Holistic offers a number of different types of Reiki sessions- in-person, remote, and virtual. They also offer crystal healing, transpersonal hypnotherapy, and past life regression. If you’re looking for relaxation, letting go of the past, trying to stop ruminating, or just want to treat yourself to some self-care, I think any of these would be a great option.

  1. Reiki sounds like something I should check out as I have similar issues with turning my mind off. Years ago I used to do yoga, and it helped too. I eventually fell off the bandwagon, and all the flexibility I gained has vanished 🥹

    1. Yeah, it was really calming- would definitely recommend if you have an active mind that never shuts up lol. Same here, I used to do yoga and meditation daily and now I feel like I’ve regressed 😭

  2. but, before i start i gotta ask. i’m a christian, does this Reiki thing have anything to do with religion?

    1. There is Christian Reiki, which Christian leaders are against, something you can research and decide, any holistic medicine is useful to some people.

      1. I don’t think there’s a problem if it’s a Christian stuff.

    2. I don’t think Reiki is a religious practice, it’s more similar to self-care but I would recommend speaking to your religious advisor before doing it just in case.

  3. Interesting

  4. Interesting! I had someone give me a distance Reiki session years ago, but I didn’t feel it!

    1. Thanks! Oh no, sorry to hear that. I think every practitioner is different so it really depends on who is doing the Reiki.

  5. I have never tried reiki, I think it’s pretty awesome you did that. I would like to know how it affects you in the long run, because I feel there are long term effects as well as how it makes you feel here and now

    1. Thanks so much. I did the session a while back and so far I’m still drinking more water and ruminating less which is awesome. Maybe I’ll share a follow-up in like 6 months.

  6. This is interesting! I didn’t know that distance Reiki was a thing and thought that it could only be done in person. My aunt did Reiki and idk if she still does. I used to go to her house for Reiki sessions when I was a kid. It was really relaxing and I always felt better afterwards.

    1. Thank you! Yeah, it’s so relaxing- I really enjoyed the experience.

  7. I have to admit I do not know what Reiki is but it sounds interesting. Perhaps my cousin Rigmor knows. She does hypnotherapy and past life regression.

    1. Yeah, she may be more familiar with it. I’ve tried hypnotherapy but never past life regression.

  8. 🙏👍🌹

    Aum Shanti

    1. That sounds like an amazing experience and I agree science is good for a lot of things but sort of denies anything it doesn’t understand fully.

        Dear Pooja
        ☺️🙌🎶

        1. Interesting, will definitely Google that, thank you 😊

  10. Very interesting. Glad to hear it helped you. I had an in person Reiki session many years ago. My biggest challenge during the session was staying awake.

    1. Thank you so much. Haha that happens, it’s really deeply relaxing.

  11. I discovered reiki a few months ago. From the content I’ve viewed it’s been pretty relaxing and nourishing. Having an active mind can be difficult to manage, but there is always help available.

    1. Yup, definitely relaxing and nourishing. I really liked my experience.

  12. haven’t heard of it before now 😬 … but it sounds very interesting, Pooja … thanks for sharing…🤍

    1. Definitely an interesting first, thank you ☺️

  13. 👌👌👌🧬🌹🌞

  14. Definitely something I would love to try…

    As for this…”I have the hardest time sitting down and doing nothing”…. thats me. Guilty as charged.
    Hope you are well, Pooja

    1. I would so recommend it as someone that also has no chill lol. LightSoul Holistic actually shared a code for 33% off if you’re ever interested, I’ve added it to the post.
      Thanks, I’m doing well and hope you are too.

      1. Wonderful to know. And thanks for the code as well.

  15. Drinking water is one of those things you just have to do, whether you feel thirsty or not. Our bodies operate SO MUCH better when we’re properly hydrated. Personally, I like drinking hot water (during the winter only though), because I have to sip it slowly and that allows my body to make use of it better than me drinking a half liter in 30 min 😀

    I also hope you can permanently do the cessation from social media thing. Not filling your mind with that stuff on a daily basis helps your long term mental health. I know you already know that, but just a word of encouragement to keep at it 🙂

    1. For sure, I’ve been drinking more water since the session and I already feel better. I’m trying to work up to 8 glasses a day. That’s a good idea for when it’s cold, keeps you warm and hydrated.

      I so want to stop, social media is such a waste of time and just ends with me frustrated. Thank you for the encouragement, I need it 🙂

  16. Interesting. But I thought Reike was *The laying of hands * How does distance apply to this? 🤣😎🙃

    1. It can also be laying hands using the mind! 😅

    Glad you had a good experience.

    1. Thanks so much.

  18. Wow, Reiki has brought so many benefits to you, Pooja. That’s wonderful. 👏

    1. Thank you, I was really happy with the experience 😊

  19. So pleased you found this helpful, Pooja. I was/am connected with many who work in the spiritual spheres. One such friend, near and dear to me has wonderful healing hands. Remote, in person, over digital communication, this works for those open to this spiritual practice. Of course, you would be one! 👐

    1. Thank you so much! That sounds amazing and yes I think you have to be open and willing and it will work. It’s a reciprocal thing.

  20. Your experience with Reiki felt so calming to read—like your words carried the same healing energy you received.
    I love how beautifully you connected mind, body, and awareness through such an honest reflection.
    If my writings resonate with you too, I’d truly appreciate your thoughts and comments on my blogs.

    1. Thanks so much, happy that you enjoyed the post.

      1. Your appreciation brings a spark to my work—thank you for feeling the post so deeply.
        If this one connected with you, the next pieces may resonate even more.

  21. This is something I really need to try, Pooja. Thank you for sharing your experience.

    1. I would so recommend it, such a relaxing experience. And LightSoul Holistic just shared a code for a 33% discount that I’ve added to the start of the post if you’re ever interested. Happy to share it, I always like to share on the blog when I try something new.

      1. Thank you, Pooja. 💕

        1. You’re very welcome 😊

  22. That’s really cool that it can be done from a distance! Especially if you’re unable to connect well with certain practitioners more locally. Though, most importantly out of all this, I’m so glad it’s improving your overall wellbeing! That makes me happy! 💗

    1. Thank you so much! Yeah, it was really an amazing experience because it’s not something I was able to do in person. 💗

  23. Love this Pooja! Reiki is a powerful tool with results. Of course you and I gab too much to ever do a session…lol! 😹 Glad you’ve increased your water and cutting g down on Socials which is near impossible with your job! 🩷

    1. Thank you and I so agree, so powerful! Lol I think the gabbing can be therapeutic too lol!

      1. Absolutely we cover all basis. We just never have time to be quiet lol

  24. I’m so glad you benefitted! One session was done on my behalf, and a mix up occurred, but I still remember it happening (felt great)! Thought it was a Taurus thing overactive mind, can’t ever just relax, and dehydrated (lol) but you definitely achieved the “energy” and hope you carry it with you! Osm post ~ <3 !!!

    1. Thank you so much! Such an amazing experience and I think it really helped with that Taurus energy I always have lol 😂

  25. Fascinating. Thanks for sharing your results and thoughts, Pooja!

    1. Happy to share it!

  26. I can imagine it’s good.

    1. It was lovely.

  27. I’ve always been intrigued by Reiki – thanks for the insight, Pooja! 💞💞💞

    1. Thank you, happy to share the experience! I always wanted to try Reiki so I was happy to finally get the chance 💗😊

  31. My word of the year is energy. One of the things I did to connect to my word was get my Reiki Level 1 certification. I didn’t know a lot about Reiki, only that it was energy work. My first experience receiving a session was during my certification (so not distance), and I felt so calm, relaxed, and connected to myself. It’s a very interesting practice.

    1. That’s so cool, it’s definitely an interesting practice. Glad it’s been beneficial for you as well.
