10 Blocks Reiki Practitioners Face
Introduction Reiki is a practice of deep simplicity, presence, and surrender. Yet for many practitioners, the path can feel murky, confusing, or even isolating at times. The deeper we go, the more subtle the blocks become. This guide is not about adding more to your plate, but about clearing the noise. It’s about returning to the essence of Reiki, identifying where we’ve become misaligned, and gently correcting course. Whether you're new to the practice or years into your journey, these ten blocks are common, natural, and entirely shiftable.
1. Inconsistent Daily Practice
The Block: Life is full, and it can be hard to stick to a daily Reiki practice. The intention is there, but the follow-through falters.
The Shift: Reframe your practice as energetic hygiene. It's not a luxury. It's the foundation. Even five minutes matters. Consider small rituals: hands on your heart before bed, a quick breath-and-Reiki check-in during lunch, or simply repeating the precepts on your commute. Let Reiki live in your day, not just your schedule.
2. Feeling Drained After Sessions
The Block: After giving sessions, you feel exhausted or emotionally heavy. This leads to burnout and self-doubt.
The Shift: Reiki flows through you, not from you. If you feel drained, it's often a sign you’re over-efforting or merging with your client. Strengthen your self-practice. Come back to the precepts. You don’t need to protect yourself—you need to remember who you are.
3. Drinking Low-Vibration Water
The Block: You’re doing all the energy work but still feel foggy, low, or disconnected from intuition.
The Shift: Your body is a conductor. And over 70% of that conductor is water. Not all water is equal. Living, structured water (like Kangen Water) supports clarity, conductivity, and cellular flow. It's not a side detail—it’s a core part of your energetic system.
4. Doubting Your Ability
The Block: You’re not sure if Reiki is working. Maybe you don't feel much, or you're not confident you're doing it "right."
The Shift: Reiki is not about effort or performance. The more you surrender, the clearer it becomes. Trust the practice. Trust your hands. Trust your presence. And trust that it’s working, even when it’s subtle.
5. Lack of Community or Support The Block: Reiki can feel lonely. Without a teacher, group, or community.
The Shift: Find or create one. Join group meditations, online circles, or start a Reiki share. Being seen and supported by others on the path will elevate your energy and expand your practice.
6. Getting Caught in Ego or Outcome
The Block: You start wondering: "Am I healing them? Did I do it right? Did they feel it?"
The Shift: Return to humility. You are not the healer. Reiki meets each person exactly where they are. Your job is to show up, stay present, and release attachment to outcome. Let go, and let the energy do the work.
7. Blending Too Many Modalities
The Block: Crystals, tuning forks, sound bowls, auras... it becomes overwhelming.
The Shift: Reiki is enough. It doesn't need to be louder, flashier, or blended with other systems. The more you strip away, the more clearly Reiki can speak. Get quiet. Get simple. Let Reiki be Reiki.
8. Difficulty Receiving
The Block: You give, give, give... but struggle to receive support, care, or even your own Reiki.
The Shift: Receiving is a skill. Practice it deliberately. Lie down and offer yourself Reiki without an agenda. Let it be soft. Let it hold you. The more you receive, the more authentically you can give.
9. Lack of Clients or Visibility
The Block: You feel called to share Reiki but aren’t getting clients or visibility.
The Shift: Lead with your embodiment, not your marketing. Share your personal practice. Talk about what Reiki is doing in your life. When people feel your energy shift, they’ll want what you have. Visibility begins with vibrational congruence.
10. Overconsumption of Energy Content
The Block: You’re following too many teachers, and it’s creating confusion.
The Shift: Turn down the noise. You don’t need more information—you need deeper integration. Choose one teacher or lineage and go deeper, not wider. Reiki is not outside you. It’s in your hands. It’s in your breath. It’s in your being.
Conclusion These blocks are not failures. They are invitations. Every time you notice one, you’re being guided back into alignment. Reiki isn’t something you do—it’s something you live. And when you clear what’s in the way, your life begins to reflect the flow, presence, and power of the practice itself. Keep going. The energy is with you.
Why Water Matters (And What Kangen Can Do for You) As Reiki practitioners, we are conduits. And what flows through us matters deeply. Our energetic clarity is influenced not only by practice, but by what we nourish ourselves with—especially water. Most tap and bottled water is processed, stagnant, and stripped of life force. Kangen Water is electrically reduced, structured, and ionized. It’s designed to support cellular hydration, energy flow, and optimal internal balance. If you're curious about how this water could support your practice, your energy, and your body—let’s connect.
