Reiki & Crystals

Reiki & Crystals

My journey of personal development started with Reiki. That was in 2003, until then I never heard of Reiki, growth and development. Mediation was an alien concept for me.


While I embarked on this unfamiliar path a new acquaintance introduced me to crystals. And, as the saying goes: The rest was history. Reiki and the power of Crystals on their own are highly beneficial. But when you blend them, it is a very different kettle of fish altogether.


I recommend that you work with that which is calling you. One or the other, or both together, the choice is yours. If you are willing you can play with both, use them separately and then combine and experience for yourself how the energies work. Some people are very sensitive, others less so.


But with time and practice you get more sensitive and aware of energy. Your own energy and that of your surroundings. Sensing energy is a skill you can learn, its like a muscle you haven’t used before.


Or better said you were not aware of energies.

You unlearned to read energies and auras while you were growing up. When you start on the journey of energy work you unlearn the conditioning and rediscover what you always knew.

That you are made of energy, that everything is energy and ultimately how to navigate life using the flow of energy. I know, it sounds rather bizarre, this whole concept so far out there that it seems like a fantasy. Energy, what on Earth are you talking about, you may say. And I would have agreed with you once upon a time.


Let’s start with Reiki. Reiki is a hands-on healing method that aids the body to reach a deep relaxing state. And yet it is so much more. It does work on the emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, karmic and etheric body.


The energy of Reiki addresses imbalances at the chakra system, rebalances and realigns these chakra points. Those who are familiar with Yoga know about the chakra system, the wheels of energy points. It is a spiritual discipline for those who wish to learn Reiki.

By learning Reiki you learn to meditate using the breath, you learn the precepts of Reiki, which are the foundation of Reiki itself. Kanjis, mantras, jumen, sensing energy, opening your mind, and your heart.


You learn one Reiki level at the time. This is to ensure you truly understand Reiki, what it can do – and what not. It also prepares your own body and mind for the journey to your true self, your true nature.

It is an ongoing journey, challenging at times and highly rewarding.


Now you start your journey with crystals.

The use of crystals goes back to the time we were living in caves. Harnessing the energy of crystals in healing and raising our vibrating, to manifest into this reality what we wish to have. Crystals as a meditation tool to access Higher Realm, connecting with Elementals, the elements and with Gaia herself.


When you use Reiki and crystals at the same time you amplify the energy.

Say you work on the hara using focus breath and you use crystals like Garnet, Bloodstone or Black Tourmaline you can experience intense energy. The beauty with Reiki energy is that you can’t do it wrong, or overdose. Reiki has its own intelligence. I know, more out of the realms of possibilities. Until you practice energy work yourself you will be wondering whether I am pulling your leg or not. I could say trust me – but I am a stranger telling you that there is more to life then you can possibly imagine. The Bard had that one right.


Reiki, with or without the bonus of crystals, can change your life. Reiki can open doors for you never thought existed. The journey of personal development and spiritual growth is ongoing. The journey itself is the destiny. A dance between the ego mind and the heart mind. The yin and Yang weaving the path. A path your soul knows. The ego mind needs love and compassion to trust the soul's leadership.

 Ultimately it comes down to this.


The devotion, dedication, and discipline you give to your own life’s journey.

If you are happy with where you are, stay. But if you are feeling that there is more to life, the yearning to be living a life that is meaningful, joyful, and peaceful.


Then be brave and step into the unknown. Let Reiki be your guide and teacher. Leading you home to your true authentic nature.


Much love

The enfolding path Reiki offered me
By Anja Roberts 04 Mar, 2024
Reiki is a system that is build upon five pillars. One of them are the precepts. These took their roots from Buddhist teachings and do play an important part of the system of Reiki. This is one of the translations and I use this one myself. There are variations which happened due to translating Japanese writing style from the turn of the 19 th century to modern English. FOR TODAY ONLY, DO NOT ANGER, DO NOT WORRY, BE HUMBLE, BE HONEST IN YOUR WORK, BE COMPASSIONATE TO YOURSELF AS YOU ARE TO OTHERS. F or today only means just that . To be present, to be in the here and know. We are conditioned to live in the past or worry about tomorrow. Both do not exist. Both are created to keep you stuck. For today only…… be present. Do not anger, for anger is an illusion. Anger arises when something is either triggering us, or we feel we are not in control of something – or someone. Anger is not an emotion but the manifestation of energy which has its root anchored in fear. Control is fear based. Anger is explosive – but ask yourself why you are angry? What is the underlying issue here? Always ask yourself, “why do I feel this or feel like this?” Do not worry, we spend a lot of time worrying about but and if. We worry about tomorrow. What needs and must be done to avoid a negative situation. A situation which may or may not happen. Who says that you will be given another day to live? Why worry about something you have absolutely no control over? This is the conditioning we were all subjected to. Be humble, what this means is that you do not do the healing, you are the channel. No more – no less. Being humble means you don’t get arrogant and big headed. You see others as a reflection of yourself. What you see in another resides inside of you. Be honest in your work, be honest to yourself. Accept that you are perfect in yourimperfection. Do the best you can be and stay true to yourself. What is your truth, or your true nature. Be honest in all you do. And do it with love and kindness. Be Compassionate to yourself as you are to others when guilt and shame arise, remember this; you did the best you could do with the knowledge you had at that time. And so did the other party. Our level of awareness and consciousness varies from person to person. What is your level of awareness, the evolutionary level of your own Soul? Living life, whether it’s a good or bad life, is the adventure of your own Soul. Life is about the evolution and growth of your Soul. The remembering that you are the infinitive divine spirit, having a human experience. To remember that you are powerful, that you can create the life of your dreams, and that at your core level you are love. That everything is connected, that all is the same creative life force energy. Everything is energy, every thought and emotion is energy. Emotions is energy in motion, created of your thoughts. Hence being mindful in all you do. That is why we meditate, that is why Reiki works so well. It does give you the tools you need to help yourself to become who you were meant to be. The layers, conditioning and false beliefs are falling away. With time and practice you start to change your perception; you’re understanding of yourself changes. You start to grow on all level. Emotional maturity follows, clarity of thoughts materialises, the connection to your core essence grows stronger over time. You respond more and more instead of reacting. The layers and false beliefs fall away. I see it in myself. I am most definitely not the person I was 2 or three years ago. The precepts are taught at Reiki Level 1. The student is encouraged to use them at least twice a day for ten to 15minutes. You use them like a mantra and meditate on the precepts. To pay attention to what arises while working with the precepts. What is moving? What feelings and sensation do you feel? What memories or trauma is rising to the surface of the conscious mind? Emotions buried deep inside of yourself are finding their way up to be felt, seen, and accepted. The precepts stay the same throughout all the Reiki levels. You may stop of a short time to then start again. The journey home to self is ongoing. The Reiki system gives you all the tools you need for your journey. To be used as and when you need them.
