The Power of Community
The power of community is far greater than the sum of its parts! When we gather in a Reiki Healer Community Circle, the energy of the group is heightened and expanded. This occurs because our energies get amplified and activated by other people in the room. In addition, the people in the group are always there specifically for a reason. Perhaps other people are going through the same thing you are going through. Or perhaps you have something to offer the other healers in the group! If you are being called to join a community circle, know that there is always a higher reason for you being there!
Share your story
Community Circles offer an opportunity for you to share your story of Reiki. It gives us an opportunity to be seen and heard, and for us to feel validated in our experience. Sometimes what we experience in the spiritual realm is too much for our usual friends and family. It’s often not a common topic of conversation. This means it can be hard to find our tribe, to find people who really understand the things that we experience. This is an opportunity to open up in a safe space, and to feel like you belong. There is nothing more validating that hearing other people talk about the same things that you are also experiencing.
Support others
Circles also offer us the chance to support other people in the Reiki community. This is the true power of community! Sometimes we might have experiences or insights that will just land with someone else in the group. You never know who you might be able to help, or who might offer you some gold nugget or intuitive insight. Supporting and helping each other is a vital part of the foundations of Reiki. Reiki energy is ultimately unconditional love, and if we can spread that love frequency beyond the self, this is where we can make a bigger difference in the world.
Sharing is caring
A problem shared is a problem halved. If you are going through a particular challenge, share it with the group! Chances are, someone else is going through the same thing. This is an opportunity to discuss our challenges, and be open about how we’re feeling. If we can get our worries and concerns off our chest and out of our head, this creates more space to breathe and for fresh ideas to flow through.
Practice Reiki
A Reiki Healer Community Circle is also an opportunity to both give and receive Reiki! As budding Reiki practitioners, it can be difficult sometimes to find people to practice on. This is a great opportunity to practice and hone your Reiki skills. You will also have the opportunity to receive a Reiki healing too! What a wonderful gift! You’ll walk out feeling lighter, more calm, and clearer in your energy field.
Ongoing learning and education
Sometimes in a Reiki Healer Community Circle a particular topic will come up. There are times where I will share some educational information in order to shed light on a particular situation or challenge. Community Circles are also a place to learn and grow. If we can all maintain a beginner mindset, and realise we are all students of the Universe (and of Reiki!), we are more open to learning something that might just make the world of difference.
Processing your stuff
There have been some Reiki Healer Community Circles where someone has shared their story, and have gone into ‘process’. This is where I will guide someone to clear their emotional and energetic blockages. It’s a wonderful place to clear your own energy and emotions that may be stuck, or to witness someone else clearing their stuff. It is truly an honour and a privilege to hold space for people to release what they need to. If you have the opportunity to witness someone going through a process, this is one of the greatest learning opportunities you can have. Not only will you learn something about yourself, but also how to hold space for others. This is invaluable information, especially if you are or planning to practice Reiki professionally.
Participation is a choice
Don’t worry! Participation is always a choice. If you don’t feel comfortable sharing, and just prefer to sit and observe you are still more than welcome. It might take some time to become familiar and comfortable in this kind of experience. That’s perfectly ok. There is never any pressure or obligation. These Reiki Healer Community Circles are for you, and we will only ever go at the pace that is right for the group.
