When someone feels stuck in life — like all movement has paused, opportunities are blocked, and there’s a sense of heaviness or frustration — Reiki can be a powerful spiritual and energetic reset. This kind of stagnation is often tied to energetic blockages in the lower chakras, emotional entanglements, subconscious resistance, or unhealed wounds.
Here’s how to apply Reiki specifically for this “stuck” feeling:
1. Understand the Energetic Root of Feeling Stuck
Root Chakra (Muladhara) – fear, survival, security
Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana) – creativity, flow, joy
Solar Plexus (Manipura) – power, will, motivation
Heart Chakra (Anahata) – disappointment, grief, resistance to trust
This is not just mental or circumstantial — it’s often a soul calling for release, trust, and recalibration.
2. Reiki Self-Treatment or Session Flow (15–30 min)
Step-by-step:
Begin with Grounding:
Sit or lie down.
Place both hands on your lower abdomen or thighs.
Visualise roots from your body deep into the earth.
Use the Cho Ku Rei (power symbol) to charge your intention: “I release all energy that keeps me stuck.”
Work on These Key Chakras:
| Chakra | Hand Position | Reiki Symbol (if attuned) | Focus / Affirmation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Root | Base of spine or pelvic area | Cho Ku Rei + Sei He Ki | “I am safe. I am supported. I move freely.” |
| Sacral | Just below the navel | Sei He Ki | “I allow joy and inspiration to flow.” |
| Solar Plexus | Above the navel | Cho Ku Rei + Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen (to release past programming) | “I trust my inner power.” |
| Heart | Center of chest | Sei He Ki | “I open my heart to new possibilities.” |
Stay 3–5 minutes on each area. Visualise blocked energy melting, flowing, or transforming into a golden light.
3. Release Old Programming with Distance Reiki (if attuned to Level 2)
Use the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen to send healing to:
Past versions of yourself stuck in fear or regret
Childhood patterns of limitation
Ancestral or karmic blocks
Affirm: “I let go of the old. I step into the flow of life.”
4. End with Crown & Aura Sweep
Place hands on the top of your head, then slowly move your hands away, sweeping around your energy field.
Seal the session with Cho Ku Rei around your aura.
Drink water. Journal anything that comes up—emotions, insights, or images.
Daily Energy Reset Practice for 7 Days
Wake up and Reiki your root and solar plexus for 5 minutes.
Say aloud:
“I release all energy of stagnation. I welcome flow, clarity, and divine movement.”
Draw Sei He Ki over your heart and Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen toward your path ahead.
