Day 19 of your Reiki path

Aura distance at the face

Today you explore the space in front of your face. Many people sense very clearly there that the body does not begin only at the skin. This exercise is simple, but often surprising.

Goal of the day

Today you explore the space in front of your face. Many people sense very clearly there that the body does not begin only at the skin. This exercise is simple, but often surprising.

  Guidance

Sit upright but relaxed. Raise one hand in front of your face. The palm faces you. Begin at a distance of about thirty centimeters.

Now guide the hand very slowly toward your face. Do not touch. Stay attentive. At some point something may change: warmth, pressure, air, a subtle prickling or the feeling that the hand is entering a field.

If you notice something, pause there briefly. Keep breathing calmly. Then move the hand slowly away again.

Repeat this three to five times. Then switch hands.

✦   What you might sense

Perhaps you notice something different in front of the forehead than in front of the cheeks. Perhaps at ten centimeters distance you sense clear warmth. Perhaps it feels as if the air becomes denser. Some people do not perceive a clear point at all, only a general sensitivity.

All of this is fine. You are not training a show ability. You are training attention.

✦   Safety note

Move the hand slowly and remain gentle. This exercise should feel pleasant. If you become dizzy or uncomfortable, open your eyes, place both feet on the floor and lay your hands on your thighs.

✦   Closing

Afterward, place both hands on your heart or on your belly. Sense whether you feel more present.

At which distance was I most able to perceive something today?

Your answer belongs in your personal Reiki journal. It grows with every day and stays with you alone.

✦   Note

Practice several times a day

Once you are signed up, single days become a path: your progress is saved, your journal is kept, and the attunement days open at the right time.
