During a Reiki Healing, Divine or Universal Life Force flows through you to clear blocks, balance your chakras, and calm your nervous system. Many people feel lighter, clearer, and more peaceful—often with less pain and tension. That is Reiki’s power. Meditation helps you hold onto and extend the benefits of your Reiki session. Think of Reiki as the healing—and meditation as the daily practice that keeps that healing strong.

How Reiki Healing Works (and Why It Comes First)

Reiki activates your body’s rest-and-heal response. Your heart rate slows, your breathing deepens, and your energy begins to flow again. As blocks release, your body, emotions, and mind move toward balance. People often notice better sleep, calmer moods, and clearer thinking after Reiki.

Reiki also awakens intuition. When your energy is balanced and your nervous system is calm, it’s easier to hear your inner guidance and feel connected to your Higher Self.

How Meditation Extends Your Reiki Healing

After Reiki, your system is open and calm. Meditation helps you stay there longer. A few minutes a day can keep your energy clear between sessions and gently retrain your body to return to the calm Reiki creates.

• Meditation reduces stress and supports mental and physical health (American Psychological Association)
• Stimulates the brain area responsible for self awareness for spiritual growth
• Regular practice helps quiet overthinking, settle anxiety, and bring you back to the present moment (Mayo Clinic and WebMD)
• Meditation supports steady levels of “feel-good” brain chemicals (like dopamine, serotonin, and GABA), which makes it easier to hold the peace you felt after Reiki. (Stanford Magazine)

Bottom line: Reiki does the healing; meditation helps you keep it.

“Every week I look forward to my guided meditation with Wendy. I leave our sessions relaxed, calm and refreshed. The stress from work and home has melted away. The time I spend with Wendy is the best thing I do for myself all week.” — TERESA B

Reiki then Meditation for Better Sleep and Less Stress

Reiki Healing calms your nervous system so your body can rest. Meditation helps keep that calm state going. Together, they lower stress, decrease pain, relax tense muscles, and signal to your body that it’s safe to sleep. Many clients say meditation lengthens the “feel-good window” after Reiki, so the benefits last all week.

Grow Your Intuition with Reiki (and Support It with Meditation)

Reiki opens your intuitive channel. You feel more connected to your Higher Self, your Guides, and Angels. Meditation then keeps the “static” down so you can hear that guidance in daily life. Over time, people notice clearer inner nudges, kinder self-talk, and stronger confidence in their choices. As meditation deepens your self-awareness and emotional healing, you naturally feel more compassion and love for yourself and others.

In our Reiki classes, we teach meditations used by Dr. Mikao Usui—including Gassho Meditation and the Six Points of Light. These practices don’t replace Reiki; they amplify it by keeping your energy organized and your awareness clear.

Simple Meditation You Can Do After Reiki

You only need 5–10 minutes most days. First time to meditation? Learn to Meditate: Guide for Meditation Beginners

1. Sit comfortably. Relax your body. Breathe deeply and slowly.

2. Set an intention: “I choose to keep the peace and clarity from my Reiki healing.”

3. Clear your energy field.

4. Hands over your heart or crown. Imagine Reiki light filling your body and aura. You may want to put your hands on the top of your head (Crown Chakra) and put your hands on each chakra as you relive your Healing, filling with the Reiki Healing energy.

5. Ground: See the light flowing down your spine into the Earth.

6. When your mind wanders, smile, notice it, and return to your breath. That gentle return is meditation.

Tip: If you’ve learned Reiki, give yourself a few self-Reiki hand positions before or after the meditation to refresh your field.

Common Questions About Meditation and Reiki

Does meditation heal like Reiki?
No. Reiki heals. Meditation supports and extends your Reiki healing.

How often should I meditate?
Most people do well with 5–10 minutes a day, especially in the 3-4 days after a Reiki session.

What if I feel stuck?
That’s a sign you may need another Reiki Healing or Energy Clearing. Meditation helps you hold results, but Reiki moves the big blocks.

In Short

Reiki Healing clears, balances, and heals. Meditation helps you keep that healing—longer calm, better sleep, steadier emotions, and stronger intuition. Use Reiki for deep change, and use meditation to stay in the flow.

If you’re ready to feel lighter and more connected, book a Reiki Healing with Wendy Wisner or Rodrigo Ortiz. Then add a few minutes of meditation each day to carry your results forward with grace.
