Reiki and Children

Thursday, 23 July 2009
I'm often asked as a Reiki teacher if it's ok to attune children to Reiki.

My response is always an enthusiastic yes! Children take to Reiki like ducks to water - even very young ones. Children have a great need and impulse to heal and attuning them to Reiki helps them be able to channel this healing energy through them instead of drawing the energy solely from themselves. My youngest granddaughter has been doing this and has been exhausting herself on a physical and energetic level.

Later this week I will ask for her Level 1 attunement to rectify this. She will then, even though she may not understand the principles, channel Reiki energy whenever she has the impulse to heal.

Older children love the concept of sending - rainbows, unicorns, angels - or whatever image most resonates with them. The Reiki energy grounds and heals them and encourages the natural loving impulses they have. In a world that can sometimes be harsh for children, this is a precious gift.
