When I lay my hands over someone during a Reiki attunement, it never felt right to let them stay in a high-frequency state like gamma or even beta. Before I became a Reiki Master, I studied the Silva Method, and I knew instantly — this was the missing link.
In my in-person Reiki sessions, I guide my clients into a deep meditative state by counting them down — from 25 to 1 — shifting the brain from beta (29–16Hz) or gamma (100–30Hz) into alpha (8–15Hz), or even deeper into theta and delta (7Hz and lower).
The closest analogy? Hypnosis.
I’m not a hypnotist, but I can count someone down into Alpha, and once there, the subconscious is wide open to suggestion — even if they drift into sleep.
🌱 Why Alpha State Matters for Reiki
In Alpha, you become more receptive.
Your mind quiets, your body softens, and the affirmations I plant begin to take root. Any imbalance I find in the chakra centers is far more likely to release or receive energy without resistance.
Even if the client is unaware — even in sleep — their body responds to the signals it’s given. Healing happens in many ways, even when we’re not conscious of it.
🧘 How to Reach Alpha State Yourself
You don’t need me to do this. (Though I’d love to.)
You can guide yourself into Alpha. Here’s how:
-
Close your eyes.
-
Imagine a movie screen just behind your closed eyelids. Look up toward it slightly, like you're in a dark theater.
-
Visualize the number 25 on the screen. Say it silently to yourself 4–5 times.
-
Count backward this way, seeing and repeating each number, all the way to 3.
At 3, pause.
Begin to relax your entire body — part by part. Start with your feet. Relax every muscle, tendon, and cell. Move slowly upward — calves, knees, thighs, belly, chest, face. Don’t rush. Revisit any area that tenses back up. Repeat the number 3 and visualize it on your screen as before.
Once fully relaxed, move to number 2.
While holding this number in your mind, visualize a place where your spirit is at peace. A quiet lake, a crowded concert, a moonlit forest. Anywhere your nervous system says: yes.
Finally, visualize number 1.
This is Alpha.
You’ll still be awake. You can open your eyes, care for animals, make dinner, answer the phone. But your mind will be deeply relaxed, ready for suggestion and healing.
💬 Planting Seeds of Change
In Alpha, your affirmations go deeper.
Say what you need to hear — and believe:
-
I am strong.
-
I am worthy of love.
-
My body is well. No disease lives in me.
Speak them here, in the quiet. Let them settle in your soil.
When you’re ready to return to waking life, simply count yourself back up from 1 to 5. Let your energy rise gently, like waking from a nourishing nap.
✨ Reiki and the Rewiring of the Soul
In that open, receptive Alpha state, your body speaks to my hands. And the cosmos listens. Universal energy gives what is needed, and pulls what is no longer serving. I do not command — I attune, and simply let flow what healing light is present.
Being human is hard.
The pain, the static, the twists in our wires — it all clouds the signal.
But Reiki clears the field. It works to tune you back into balance.
Emotional. Physical. Spiritual.
This healing reaches places even medicine can’t touch.
🧿 Can’t Get to a Reiki Master?
My talismans are the next best thing.
Each one is ritually charged — not mass-produced — and infused with intention. They are sacred reminders of your deepest desires, your truest affirmations. And yes, beloved — they remind your spirit quickly. Sometimes faster than you can count yourself down to Alpha.
