In every soul lies a healer. Auto-Reiki, or self-Reiki, is the art of activating your inner healing energy through intentional touch, breath, and presence.
Rooted in the ancient Japanese tradition of Reiki, this practice empowers you to channel universal life force through your own hands, dissolving energetic blockages and restoring balance.
Whether you’re a spiritual seeker or stepping into the world of Reiki for the first time, this guide will illuminate the path of self-healing with both practical steps and sacred reverence.

Auto-Reiki means applying Reiki to yourself. It draws on the same principles as traditional Reiki, where energy flows through the hands into the body to promote healing. In Auto Reiki, you become both the practitioner and the receiver, allowing divine energy to flow through you, guided by your intuition and intention.

Reiki works with the energy centers of the body, known as chakras, and aims to restore harmony. It is not tied to any religion but aligns beautifully with spiritual exploration and personal growth.

To create a sacred and focused space for Auto Reiki:

Choose a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed.

Cleanse the energy using incense, sound, or intention.

Sit or lie down comfortably, with your spine aligned.

Place your hands in Gassho (palms together at heart center) and set a clear intention, such as: “I open myself to healing and divine light.”

Take a few deep breaths to ground yourself in the present moment.

There is no wrong way to place your hands in Auto Reiki, but these foundational positions help direct healing:

Crown (top of head) – For clarity and divine connection

Third Eye (forehead) – For insight and intuition

Throat (neck) – For truth and expression

Heart (center of chest) – For love and emotional healing

Solar Plexus (above the navel) – For confidence and willpower

Sacral (below the navel) – For creativity and emotional flow

Root (base of spine) – For grounding and safety

Hold each position for 3–5 minutes or as long as you feel called. Experience warmth, tingling, or simply a sense of peace.

As you grow with Auto Reiki, let your intuition lead. Some days, you may feel drawn to certain areas of the body; others, you may wish to simply rest your hands on your heart and breathe. Reiki is a gentle, intelligent energy—it flows where it is needed most.

You do not need to force anything. Your presence, your breath, and your intention are all that is needed.

When you feel complete:

Drink water and rest.

Journal your experience or simply sit in silence, letting the energy settle.

With regular practice, Auto Reiki becomes a spiritual companion—a way to tend to your emotional, mental, and physical well-being with grace and light.

The beauty of Auto Reiki is that it reminds you: you are not separate from the healing process. You are healing. With your hands, your heart, and your sacred intention, you hold the power to harmonize your energy and awaken your spirit.

In moments of stress, fatigue, or sorrow, return to your breath. Place your hands gently over your heart. The Reiki is already flowing.
