The journey of self-discovery and healing can be heightened through a variety of spiritual tools designed to deepen your experience and bring clarity, purpose, and alignment to your practice. Using Angel cards before a Reiki self-healing session creates a synergy combining intuitive guidance with restorative energy, cultivating a grounded and intention-filled space for transformation.
Why Use Angel Cards Before a Reiki Session?
Certain energies, thoughts, or emotional states can cloud our focus. Drawing an Angel card before your self-healing session can help with the following:
Setting a clear intention
Starting with a card reading lets you define what you’d like to focus on during your session. By determining your healing goals, you can align your energy to support a specific outcome, increasing the effectiveness of your Reiki practice.
Tuning into your emotional state
Angel cards have the potential to highlight areas in need of attention. They may reveal underlying emotions or challenges affecting your ability to channel Reiki’s healing energy. By becoming aware of these feelings, you can process them with compassion, clearing the way for a more profound healing experience.
Connecting with your guides
A card reading before Reiki can strengthen your connection to the divine, help you enter the session with an elevated sense of inner peace, encourage you to trust the healing process and reinforce your intentions.
Encouraging mindfulness
The process of drawing an Angel card is itself an act of mindfulness. Focusing on the card’s message promotes a calm, centred state of mind, ideal for channelling Reiki.
How to incorporate Angel cards with your Reiki healing practice
There are no hard and fast rules, but here’s a step-by-step approach to getting the most from this practice:
1. Prepare your space
Find a quiet, comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed. You may want to dim the lights, diffuse some essential oils and play some relaxing music.
2. Clear your mind and set an intention
Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and focus on your intention before asking your question.
3. Draw a card
Gently shuffle the cards, drawing them towards your heart to align their energy with your intention. Once shuffled, place the deck on the surface before you.
4. Split the deck
Using your intuition, split the deck, placing the lower half on top, allowing the deck to align itself with your energy.
5. Affirm your intention
Recite an affirmation to focus your mind and heart before drawing your card…
"I trust your messages are aligned with my highest good, offering clarity, wisdom, and peace."
6. Interpret the message
Reflect on how you can bring the energy or focus of the card’s message into your Reiki session, setting a specific intention based on the guidance you’ve received.
7. Begin your healing session
With your intention set and mind centred, begin your self-healing session. Trust that the guidance from your card will support and deepen the healing process.
Embrace the journey
In each session, remain open, receptive, and present. Trust the messages, follow your intuition, and let the beautiful restorative energy of Reiki flow as you nurture a compassionate, healing relationship with yourself.
