Grounding Reiki Meditation

For a busy head and a moment to feel more settled.

This practice uses breath, attention and imagery from Reiki traditions. References to energy and the lower belly are an imaginative focus, rather than a medical explanation or a promise of treatment.

Before you begin

Notice the support of the chair or floor. You can focus on an ordinary object if paying attention inside your body is uncomfortable.

Use these practices somewhere you can pause safely. Keep your breathing comfortable and adjust any instruction that does not suit you. If the practice makes you feel worse, stop and look around the room or choose another activity.

A useful thought

You do not have to feel energy, see anything or believe anything for a quiet pause to count.
