Everything you need to know about Reiki Shares

I’m so glad you asked ! The format of a Reiki share can vary depending on the group, but there are some common elements that tend to be to be present from group to group:

1. A Reiki share will usually begin with an opening circle, where participants introduce themselves and set intentions for the session. This may include a brief meditation or prayer to help create a calm and centered atmosphere for the highest and greatest good of those involved.
2. After the opening circle, there may be a group Reiki session, where the group can take turns focussing on one receiver at a time while the rest of the group sends Reiki to the receiver. This is such a powerful experience, as the energy of the group can amplify the healing effects and power of the Reiki.
3. Following the group session, there may be time for individual Reiki treatments. Participants can pair up and take turns giving and receiving treatments, with each session typically lasting around 10-15 minutes.
4. Throughout the share, participants may also have opportunities to share their experiences and insights with one another, ask questions, and receive feedback on their techniques. This can be a valuable opportunity to deepen one’s understanding of Reiki and learn from other practitioners whether you are new to Reiki or have been practicing for a long time. It is also a great way to receive validation from peers when it comes to tuning in to your intuition.
5. At the end of the share, there is typically a closing circle, where participants come together to reflect on the experience and share any final thoughts or insights. This can be a time for gratitude, connection, and setting intentions for the future.

In summary, if you decide to join a Reiki share, you can expect to experience a supportive, nurturing atmosphere where you can give and receive Reiki, connect with other practitioners, and deepen your understanding of this powerful healing modality. Whether you are new to Reiki or an experienced practitioner, a Reiki share can be an enriching and illuminating experience that helps to foster personal growth and community.

In my experience of attending and hosting Reiki circles, one of the main benefits of participating in a Reiki share is the sense of community that I have received. Reiki practitioners can sometimes feel isolated in their practice, especially if they are the only Reiki practitioner in their entourage. A Reiki share provides an opportunity to connect with other practitioners, share experiences, and learn from one another. This sense of community can be particularly beneficial for new practitioners, who may feel unsure or self-conscious about their abilities.

Another benefit of these magical gatherings offers the opportunity for practitioners to enhance their skills. Practitioners can practice different techniques, receive feedback, and learn new approaches to Reiki. This can be especially helpful for practitioners who are looking to deepen their practice or incorporate Reiki into their professional work.

Finally, Reiki shares provide a space for practitioners to receive healing themselves. Practitioners can offer and receive Reiki treatments in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. This can be particularly beneficial for practitioners who may struggle with self-care or need support in their own healing journey.

With the growing number of spiritual events popping up these days, it’s important to know how to spot a well-organized Reiki share as it can make all the difference in creating a safe, supportive space for practitioners to gather and share their skills. I’ve narrowed down some signs to help you choose the Reiki share that best suits your needs!

Some signs of a well-organized Reiki share include: clear communication of the schedule and expectations for the circle, a comfortable and welcoming space, and a facilitator who is knowledgeable and able to guide the group through the experience. The facilitator should be able to create a sense of safety and trust within the group, and ensure that all practitioners feel comfortable sharing and receiving Reiki.

Additionally, a well-organized Reiki share should provide ample time for each practitioner to give and receive Reiki, and allow for feedback and discussion among the group. Overall, a credible Reiki share is one that prioritizes the needs of the practitioners and creates a supportive, inclusive environment for all who attend.
