Affirmations for Reiki Practitioners: To honour your Reiki Practice

“Affirmations are to the mind what exercise is to the body.” – Brian Tracy

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to dismiss the simple act of affirming positive thoughts as mere wishful thinking. However, science has a different story to tell. Recent research published in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, reveals that the words we say to ourselves have a profound impact on our brains and, consequently, the way we perceive ourselves and our world.

This groundbreaking study utilized advanced MRI technology to peek into the inner workings of the brain and uncover the remarkable effects of self-affirmation. The results were nothing short of astonishing – practicing self-affirmation not only influences the way we think and feel but also activates the brain’s reward centres, flooding us with feelings of happiness and positivity.

So, what exactly is self-affirmation? At its core, it’s the practice of consciously acknowledging and reinforcing positive beliefs about ourselves. By doing so, we are essentially rewiring our brain to focus on our strengths and achievements, rather than dwelling on our shortcomings. This practice can have a profound impact on our overall well-being, reshaping our mindset and, in turn, our lives.

For Reiki practitioners, who are deeply attuned to the energies of the Universe and the power of intention, the practice of self-affirmation holds a special significance. Affirmations can be a valuable tool to incorporate into daily healing and meditation practices as they help focus the mind and elevate a practitioner’s energy vibration. We can create affirmations for specific chakras, life events, and various emotional and healing outcomes. Usui himself gifted us a powerful set of affirmations in the 5 Reiki Principles and encouraged us to repeat these regularly to invite more happiness into our lives.

Writing and saying affirmations effectively involves a combination of mindfulness, intention, and repetition. Here are some guidelines for crafting and using affirmations in a powerful and meaningful way in both your life and Reiki practice.

Be Specific: Affirmations should be specific and tailored to your goals or intentions. Rather than broad statements like “I am happy,” try something more precise like “I am filled with joy and gratitude every day.”
Use Positive Language: Affirmations should always be framed in the positive. State what you want to affirm rather than what you want to avoid. For instance, say, “I am healthy and vibrant,” instead of “I am not sick.”
Present Tense: Write your affirmations in the present tense as if what you desire is already happening. This helps your mind accept the affirmation as a current reality. For example, “I am attracting abundance” instead of “I will attract abundance.” Words like “I am,” “I have”, and “I attract” are powerful in affirmations. They reinforce the idea that you are actively creating and manifesting your desires.
Keep Them Short and Simple: Keep your affirmations concise and easy to remember. Shorter affirmations are often more effective because they are easier to internalize.
Use Emotion and Visualization: As you say your affirmations, try to evoke the associated positive emotions. Visualize yourself experiencing what you are affirming. Engaging your senses and emotions makes the affirmation more potent.
Repetition is Key: Consistency is crucial. Repeat your affirmations regularly, ideally daily. The more you repeat them, the more your subconscious mind will accept them as truths. Integrate affirmations into your daily routine, such as saying them in the morning, before bed, or self-Reiki. This consistency helps anchor the affirmations in your subconscious mind.
Record and Visualize: You can enhance the effectiveness of your affirmations by recording them in your voice and listening to them regularly. Additionally, create vision boards or visual representations of your affirmations to reinforce your goals.
Adjust as Needed: Over time, your goals and desires may evolve. Don’t hesitate to update or change your affirmations to align with your current aspirations.

Remember that affirmations are a tool for reshaping your thoughts and beliefs over time. Be patient with yourself, and trust in the process. With consistent practice and belief in the power of your affirmations, you can positively impact your mindset. We have pulled together some of our favourite affirmations which we hope will inspire you in your Reiki practice. Why not recite a few of these today, and watch as they elevate your energy and outlook for the day ahead.
