Day 1 of the “24 Days to Christmas Reiki Treatment Meditation Series,” focusing on Stress Relief.

Theme: Calming Reiki session focusing on the head and shoulders, followed by a guided meditation envisioning a tranquil forest.

Duration: 30-40 minutes

Environment Setup:

– Ensure a quiet, comfortable space.

– Soft, ambient background music (preferably nature sounds).

– Dim or soft lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere.

– Optionally, use aromatherapy with calming scents like lavender or chamomile.

Introduction (1-2 minutes):

– Begin by inviting participants to sit or lie down comfortably.

– Ask them to close their eyes and take deep, slow breaths.

– Briefly explain the focus of the session on stress relief through Reiki and guided visualization.

Reiki Session (15-20 minutes):

– Start by channelling Reiki energy, centering yourself and setting the intention for stress relief.

– Gently place your hands on or above the participant’s head, channelling energy to relax the mind and ease mental tension.

– Slowly move to the shoulder area, focusing on releasing the physical manifestations of stress.

– During the session, encourage slow, deep breathing to aid relaxation.

– Visualize the stress melting away from their body as warmth from your hands.

Transition to Guided Meditation (1-2 minutes):

– After the Reiki session, guide participants to maintain their relaxed state.

– Encourage them to visualize a gentle transition from their current state to a forest setting.

Guided Meditation (10-15 minutes):

– Begin by describing a serene forest, rich with vibrant greens and earthy scents.

– Narrate a gentle walk through this forest, focusing on the sounds of nature – birds chirping, leaves rustling, a distant stream.

– Describe the feeling of the soft forest floor underfoot, the coolness of the shade, and the warmth of sunbeams breaking through the canopy.

– Encourage them to visualize sitting beside a calm, clear stream, watching the water flow smoothly, symbolizing the release of stress.

– Guide them to breathe in the forest’s tranquillity and breathe out tension.

– With each breath, they feel more relaxed and at peace.

Closing (2-3 minutes):

– Gradually guide them back to awareness of their physical surroundings.

– Encourage a few deep breaths and slow movements as they become fully present.
