How To Learn Crystal Reiki at Home

 

If you've been curious about Crystal Reiki and want to learn it from the comfort of your own home, you've come to the right place. In this blog post, I'll guide you through the wonderful journey of learning Crystal Reiki right from the comfort of your own home. So grab your favorite crystals and let's get started!

Now, before we start, I suggest you read my post on how to learn Reiki at home. The thing is, you have to understand the Reiki basics before you begin learning Crystal Reiki, and have at least Level 1 Reiki attunement.

Once you are ready, simply follow the steps below to learn crystal Reiki in the comfort of your home.

Build Your Crystal Collection

To begin your Crystal Reiki journey, start by gathering a variety of crystals that resonate with you. Crystals like amethyst, clear quartz, rose quartz, and citrine are excellent choices for beginners. Each crystal possesses unique properties that can aid in different aspects of healing. Remember, there are no right or wrong choices—trust your intuition and select the ones that call out to you.

As for me, I've been attracted to crystals and gemstones for as long as I can remember. The first stones I had in my collection were rose quartz, fluorite, amethyst, and selenite. I didn't practice Reiki or crystal Reiki then though. My point is, if you already have a collection of crystals, there's no need to buy additional ones specifically for crystal Reiki learning. You'll buy those later, once you begin your practice.

Study and Research

Before diving into the practical aspects of Crystal Reiki, take some time to study and understand its fundamental concepts. Explore books, online resources, and reputable websites that offer valuable insights into Crystal Reiki. Familiarize yourself with the different crystal properties, chakra systems, and how they correlate to energy healing. This knowledge will provide a solid foundation for your Crystal Reiki practice.

My selection of books is pretty small, yet powerful. I return to them every time I need to learn the properties of this or that crystal (because there are hundreds of them out there, if not thousands) and practice new Reiki healing techniques. So, my top 3 books on crystal Reiki and crystals in general are:

Crystal Reiki by Krista Mitchell 

The Crystal bible by Judy Hall

Crystal Muse: Everyday Rituals to Tune In to the Real You by Heather Askinosie & Timmi Jandro

I also have Crystal Reiki Manual by Lisa Powers handy which I got when taking an online Crystal Reiki course I will talk about in a second.

Seek Online Courses

Apart from books you can read, you may (and should) take advantage of technology. In fact, learning crystal Reiki from home has never been easier with plenty of online courses and workshops that offer comprehensive training nowadays. Such courses often include video tutorials, manuals, and interactive forums where you can connect with like-minded individuals.

When searching for one, be sure to choose reputable courses taught by experienced crystal Reiki practitioners or instructors to ensure you're receiving accurate and authentic teachings. I've opted for the Crystal Reiki Course by Lisa Powers. In fact, I continued my education right after finishing her REIKI LEVEL I, II & MASTER course.

The most amazing thing about both courses is that you receive plenty of manuals and guides that you can use with no restrictions on your Reiki and Crystal Reiki journey. They all are downloadable and are there for you anytime you need them.

Create a Sacred Space

Once you get enough knowledge, it's time for practice! From my experience, the best way to start is to create your personal crystal Reiki space. To do that, consider transforming a quiet corner of your home into a serene sanctuary dedicated to your Crystal Reiki practice. Decorate it with soothing elements, such as candles, essential oils, and, of course, your beautiful crystals. This sacred space will become your haven—a place where you can relax, meditate, and perform your Crystal Reiki healing sessions.

Meditate and Connect

Meditation is a powerful tool for any energy healing practice. Dedicate some time each day to quiet your mind and connect with your crystals. Hold them in your hands, close your eyes, and allow yourself to tune in to their subtle energies. Focus on your breath and visualize the healing energy flowing through your body. This practice will enhance your connection with your crystals and prepare you for your Crystal Reiki sessions.

I suggest you start with simple practices. As for me, I use meditation practices from the Crystal Muse book mentioned earlier. The great thing about them is that you need only basic crystals, either selenite or quartz (rhinestones) and a few minutes of your time.

Practice Self-Healing

Crystal Reiki is not only about healing others but also about self-healing. In fact, it's the first thing I suggest you do once you have your Reiki certification. Treat yourself to regular crystal Reiki sessions to experience the profound benefits firsthand. Lay comfortably, place the appropriate crystals on your body or around you, and let their energies envelop you. As you practice self-healing, pay attention to any sensations, emotions, or insights that arise. This practice will deepen your understanding of Crystal Reiki and help you grow as a practitioner.

Share and Exchange with Others

Learning crystal Reiki at home doesn't mean you have to practice in isolation. Join online communities, forums, or social media groups dedicated to Crystal Reiki enthusiasts. Engage in discussions, share your experiences, and seek advice from fellow practitioners. By connecting with others, you can expand your knowledge, gain new perspectives, and build a supportive network of like-minded individuals.

And remember, learning Crystal Reiki is a personal journey, and it takes time and practice to develop your skills. Be patient, trust your intuition, and allow yourself to grow at your own pace. With dedication and an open heart, you'll find yourself delving deeper into the incredible world of Crystal Reiki.
