You are the sum total of all your experiences, and Reiki can help heal those that don’t serve you anymore.
As human beings, our fascination with past lives will probably never go away. Does your “previous life” as a servant contribute to your less-than stellar self-esteem today?
Does your love of beautiful things come from when you lived as royalty? Do certain writers, actors or stars of yesterday seem to speak directly to you?
Perhaps more interestingly, when you just know the person you just met and feel an instant connection, does that stem from a past life too?

Healthy roots can bring nourishment to the entire tree.
Luckily, with people seeing mainstream movies like Cloud Atlas, we as a culture are becoming more and more familiar with the concept of past lives. The beauty of Reiki, (particularly the long distance healing symbol) is that you can send Reiki to your past lives and watch your world transform right before your eyes.
Because you deserve to live the life you came here for, even if previous experiences (either in this lifetime or others) have clouded that vision a bit. Time to get your confidence in all that you are with Reiki!
In my Reiki II Online Course, you receive a Reiki attunement that includes the distance healing symbol. This powerful Reiki symbol, handed down to Dr. Mikao Usui from Spirit or Source itself, allows you as the Reiki practitioner to send the healing energy across space and time. Which means you can definitely send it to yourself as you were in past lives, as well as the soul part of you that lives eternal.

Reiki your past to live your future.
If you already know the Distance Healing Symbol and are ready, here’s how you can heal your past lives with Reiki energy:
Heal Your “Past” Lives with Reiki Energy
Start your Reiki past life session as you would any other. Ask that the Reiki only work for the highest good of all concerned, set sacred space and bring in your higher self and your guides (especially your Reiki guide!) But for this session, also ask that you be allowed to view your Akashic records, and that you only be shown what will benefit you in this lifetime.
In case you’re not familiar with your Akashic records, the Akashic records is a library if you will of every single thought, experience and belief you have ever held in any of your lifetimes. A number of cultures reference the Akashic records, and they hold our “karma”, which can be both positive and negative.
Viewing your Akashic records in a past-life Reiki healing session takes practice, so go very easy on yourself and know that whatever arises is absolutely perfect. You may see yourself in a library session, images or feelings may arise, or you may see absolutely nothing. Still, you can trust that the Reiki will be healing even if your mind is blank. Everyone’s experience is different.
Whatever comes up for you, go with it. Allow the images, feelings or sounds to come and go as they wish. After a while, many Reiki practitioners start to piece together images of someone they automatically know is them. If a person flashes through your mind, ask who it is and the first person who pops into your head will likely be them.
We incarnate in soul groups, which means we usually incarnate with the same people over and over again to balance karma and learn our lessons together.
Regardless of whether the experiences are loving and feel good, or scary and sad, stay with them. They are being shown to you for a reason, and you need not know what that is for you to heal. These memories are coming up so you can feel them, experience them, process them and then let them go. Just think of all the room for positivity you’ll have afterward!
Draw with your hand or visualize in your head the long-distance healing symbol, and send love, healing and positive energy to yourself and that situation. With this symbol, you can clear out limiting beliefs about yourself that are hindering your full potential in this lifetime.
If you know the Karma Clearing Symbol or the DNA Healing Symbols we teach in our Reiki II and Reiki Master Level Class, throw those in as well. Why not?
You will just know when your Reiki session is complete, and finish the session as you normally would. You may want to write down any memories that you had while they are still fresh in your mind.
A wonderful book to read about past lives is Many Lives, Many Masters: The True Story of a Prominent Psychiatrist, His Young Patient, and the Past-Life Therapy That Changed Both Their Lives by Brian Weiss.
This book single-handedly sparked my interest (okay, obsession) with past lives and how they affect us in the here and now.

Heal yourself with Reiki, all of you.
I particularly love how Brian Weiss is so honest about his skepticism and disbelief about what was happening.
Even though his patient was clearly delving into her past lives, his struggle to understand what was occurring is one I think most of us can relate to when we first start to practice Reiki and experience its magic.
I certainly could relate during all my initial Reiki experiences! (Was I making this up? Is Reiki really real? etc, etc.)
So there you have it. I highly recommend that you try and see if you can get to know some of your ‘history’! What do you have to lose? You may just find (as we did) that by getting rid of old emotional beliefs and patterns you hold from previous lives, your life will change dramatically. You will understand your soul, and hopefully have that much more compassion and love for yourself.
Have fun meeting you…

Only your soul comes with you…

Thank you,
Very nice information, I am also a Reiki Master from Sep 2015.
Thank you Kantilal : ) That means a lot, from one Reiki Master to another!
Hi there. I am a new practitioner in Bornei and I enjoyed this article. But after starting as I normally would – where do I place my hands? Thanks so much.
Hi Esther,
Wow, Bornei! I’ve always wanted to go to Indonesia! In terms of where you place your hands – you basically have two ways of sending Reiki in a Reiki treatment. You can move through the traditional hand positions – there are different versions of them, but they are all similar – or you can do an intuitive Reiki session and place your hands wherever you feel the person could use the Reiki the most.
I hope that helps!

Hi how r u, I want more info on your Reiki classes in-person I live in Santa Ana.
Hi Jesse,
I’m in Santa Ana all the time for Kundalini yoga!
Unfortunately, I’m not offering in-person Reiki trainings anymore; I had switched to online Reiki classes over Skype, and now I’m making my new Reiki video course trainings as good as they can be. (The video courses will be available August 13th.)
I see that you signed up for my Reiki newsletter though, which is great because that’s where I’ll let everyone know how they can sign up for the classes and everything.
Take care Jesse!
