We are not "Healers"

As Reiki practitioners, we must remember we are not healers. 

We are not the source of healing. We do not heal others.

To claim otherwise -even subtly - is to step outside the integrity of the practice. It is to misrepresent what Reiki truly is and dishonor its sacred foundation.

Reiki is not something we do to people. It is something we become, something we offer by embodying spaciousness, presence, and alignment with the energy of life itself. When we practice Reiki, we create the conditions in which the natural intelligence of the body and mind can do what they were divinely designed to do: return to balance, to harmony, to self-healing. This is the true power of Reiki: not in fixing, but in clearing the interference. It softens the grip of dis-ease by inviting release of tension, of fear, of inner resistance. It reminds the body of its innate wholeness, and the spirit of its original light. And so, our real role is to become an open, grounded, and coherent field. A living permission slip. When we ourselves are anchored in the Reiki precepts free from worry, anger, and attachment we become a mirror of what’s possible. In our presence, clients may begin to release their own stored emotions, mental chaos, and energetic clutter. And in that release, their own innate healing process is awakened not because we did anything, but because we created a safe, sacred space in which their system could begin to remember. This is the integrity of the Reiki path: not to fix or save but to embody. Not to do, but to be.
