This visualization was given to me early in my practice during a session with a client. I’ve used it successfully with clients for years, but it is also highly effective as a means of Self-Treatment.
Although more powerful if you have been attuned to Reiki, this technique can be used by anyone. It’s a great stress-reducer and can be accomplished anytime you have a few quiet moments—during a break at work, waiting in a doctor’s office, or before going to bed at night.
Situate yourself comfortably on a chair or bed. You may wish to invoke one or more of the appropriate Reiki symbols and say a silent prayer of intention. If you have privacy, use my hand Position #4, or any other that you wish, or simply sit with your hands in your lap. Close your eyes and Imagine billions of particles of light, refracted into the colors of the rainbow, entering the crown of your head, gently flowing throughout your body and aura, and exiting through your feet.
Imagine that this gentle stream of Rainbow Light is permeating every particle of your being. As it flows through your body, it is removing all energy that does not serve you. Imagine all stress, tension, pain, and discomfort exiting through the soles of your feet and being carried away, returned to the earth for healing. Ask for the release of emotional distress, false beliefs, and limiting ideas, imagining them flowing out from your feet with the rainbow light. Then imagine that every cell of your body is being cleansed, healed, and renewed. That every cell is being reborn to its true essence, to its highest and best function in the service of your body.
When you feel complete with this process, imagine white light emanating from your spine, flowing throughout your body and aura, and radiating from you to all with whom you come in contact. Following this treatment, I feel relaxed, energized, and as if my entire body has been cleansed.
This visualization and two others are available on my CD Three Visualizations for Self-Healing. For a complete written description of these visualizations, see page 73 of Reiki: A Guide for the Practice of Levels I and II.
