The Power of Forgiveness in Reiki Healing

I want to take a moment to talk about something I feel is deeply connected to the healing journey we experience in Reiki: forgiveness. In my practice, I often see how much emotional pain and resentment can hold us back, not just physically but energetically, creating blockages that can affect our well-being. When we struggle to forgive, whether it’s ourselves or others, we end up carrying that energy in our bodies and it can create a lot of discomfort.

In Reiki, our goal is to promote healing by clearing away stagnant energy. I’ve noticed that working on forgiveness opens up the heart chakra, allowing a deep release that can bring such a sense of relief. You might feel lighter, more at peace, and even experience physical changes, like a reduction in tension or pain.

How Forgiveness Works in a Reiki Session

When we focus on forgiveness during a Reiki session, I work with your heart chakra to help you let go of the emotional pain that’s been sitting there. It’s not about forgetting what happened or saying that what someone did was okay—it’s about freeing yourself from the heaviness that’s been holding you back. Through the healing energy of Reiki, we can work together to release that energy, letting love and compassion fill that space instead.

You might feel emotions rise to the surface, and that’s okay—it’s part of the healing process. In my practice, I encourage you to allow those feelings to come up and be released, knowing that the energy we’re working with is helping you process and heal.

Using Reiki to Help You Forgive

One of the ways I like to support you in this process is through visualization. As you’re receiving the healing energy, I may ask you to imagine a soft, gentle light surrounding your heart, expanding with each breath. In this light, we’ll work on bringing forgiveness into focus—whether it’s forgiving yourself for something in the past, or releasing resentment toward someone else. This practice helps to clear any energetic blockages that have been building up.

Sometimes, using affirmations during a Reiki session can be powerful, too. I might suggest phrases like, “I release this pain and choose peace,” or “I forgive myself and others, and I open my heart to healing.” These can be really helpful in reinforcing the energy shift we’re creating during the session.

Self-Forgiveness is Just as Important

It’s not uncommon for us to hold onto guilt or shame over things we’ve done in the past. Self-forgiveness can be the hardest part of the process, but it’s crucial for your healing. In my sessions, I help you focus on releasing these emotions so that you can be free from self-judgment and move forward with more compassion for yourself.

Healing Through Time and Space

What’s incredible about Reiki is that it can help you forgive not just in the present moment, but also from things that happened in the past. Sometimes, we carry emotional wounds from long ago, and through Reiki, we can work to release those, too. I’ve found that clients often feel an enormous weight lifted when they’re able to let go of something they didn’t even realize they were still holding onto.

Forgiveness is such a vital part of your healing journey, and I am here to support you through it. I’ve seen first-hand how Reiki can create that space for forgiveness to flourish, bringing relief, peace, and emotional freedom.
