How to Do Reiki? | Self Reiki Step-by-Step Guide (Video)
How to do Reiki is one of the most common questions for those who want to work with energy and integrate healing practices into their daily lives. To fully understand how to do Reiki, it is essential to first learn how to practice Reiki on yourself. Self Reiki is one of the most fundamental and effective ways to balance your energy flow and develop inner awareness.
In this video, you will learn how to do Reiki on yourself step by step. The practice demonstrated includes essential Reiki hand positions as well as the application of Level 2 Reiki symbols, making it especially suitable for those who have completed Reiki Level 1 and Level 2 training.
Learning how to do Reiki through regular self practice helps you connect more deeply with your energy.
The same hand positions and Reiki symbols used in self Reiki can also be applied when practicing Reiki on others.
Self Reiki practice is a simple and effective method used to balance Reiki energy within your own body. People who have received Reiki training can strengthen their energy flow by regularly applying self Reiki hand positions.
Even short daily self Reiki practice sessions can increase energy awareness over time and help you feel more connected to your body and mind.
During Reiki practice, hands are placed on specific areas of the body, and energy naturally flows where it is needed. This supports mental calmness, physical relaxation, and emotional balance.
The answer to how to do Reiki on yourself lies in consistent practice and consciously working with Reiki energy.
Self Reiki practice is generally done with the following steps:
- First, as learned in Reiki training, through the energy channel activated during Reiki initiation, you reconnect with Reiki energy.
- Then, sit or lie down in a comfortable position. A quiet and peaceful environment helps you feel Reiki energy more easily.
- Apply the Reiki hand positions given in your training notes step by step. Each position corresponds to different energy centers in the body.
- During the practice, allow yourself to turn inward. You may enter a meditative state as Reiki energy flows naturally.
- You can apply the Reiki symbols as taught in your Level 2 Reiki training.
- Stay in each hand position for approximately 3 minutes. After completing the session, rest for a few minutes to integrate the energy.
Integrating Reiki Practice into Daily Life
The most important step in learning how to do self Reiki is making it part of your daily routine. Practicing Reiki for 5–45 minutes a day can support mental clarity, emotional balance, and physical relaxation. With regular practice, you will begin to feel the energy flow more clearly.
Many Reiki students report feeling more balanced when they practice self Reiki in the morning or evening. Reiki helps you connect with your inner energy and use life force energy more consciously.

Why is Reiki Training and Initiation Necessary?
To practice Reiki safely and effectively, it is necessary to receive Reiki training and go through Reiki initiations.
During Reiki training, your energy channel is opened and attunements are performed to allow you to channel Reiki energy. Also, your energy channel is sealed and protected against any low vibrational energies.
The practice shown in this video is designed especially for those who have completed Reiki Level 1 and Level 2 training.
If you want to truly learn Reiki and apply it to yourself and others, receiving Reiki training is the most important step. Through proper training, you can practice self Reiki consciously and use Reiki symbols correctly.
