I white light myself before my reiki sessions on myself. I have not done any reiki sessions on anyone else yet except once for my husband. What I do before I start is ground myself and then picture myself surrounded by bright white light - kind of like a bubble and then I proceed. But do you guys keep that vision going or just in the beginning? I can't continue the vision - or does it really matter? Once you've white lighted yourself, you should be ok??

Hi dolphin,

Namaste :)

Sounds like you are doing just fine dolphin :)I do it at the beginning of each session with the intention that the bubble of light stays around me throughout the session and then I just focus on the flow of the energy. You can also use the white light whenever you feel the need of some protection, sometimes I use it in crowded places etc.

Gentle Blessings

I also think you are doing it the way you feel works best for you. I ground myself by first and foremost centering myself mentally and pick an object of strenghth in my minds eye and tie myself to it.

Hope I helped

Dolphin, was this action taught to you in your reiki class? where does this idea come from?

I was just always told by people I went to see. I have a good friend who is a reiki master among other things and she told me that whenever I want to protect myself, to invision myself surrounded by a white light.
But, it's weird because I vagely remember other people telling me the same thing from long ago. Before I ever got into Reiki.

Hi ,

I think you are doing the right things. If it feels great when you do this. I put my bubbles of light around me with the intent that they stay around me throughout. This helps both the practioner and the client.
love and light, harmony

Otoharo!

So many of you do this that I think what I was taught was to use reiki to do what you are using the white light to do. After a full reiki self teratment, then we fill out rooms one by one with our own energy which is now cleansed. So all our space is full of our reiki energy, not simply reiki, but reiki cleansed human energy. Nothing of a negative nature can penetrate that.
