About this meditation: In our relentless pursuit of perfection, we often forget that the heart of any practice lies not in achieving flawless outcomes, but in setting clear intentions. This holds true even in the serene realm of meditation. As we sit in stillness, it’s not about “getting it right”; it’s about being present with what is. Let’s explore the transformative power of intention in self-compassion reiki energy healing meditation.

Self-compassion—a gentle embrace of our own humanity—is our refuge when the inner critic grows loud. It’s about recognizing that we all share the wish to be free from suffering and hardship. But how do we infuse our meditation practice with this compassionate essence?

  1. Beyond Outcomes: Intention transcends outcomes. It’s not about achieving a perfect session; it’s about showing up with kindness, even when our minds wander or fatigue sets in.
  2. Foundation of Self-Kindness: On days when self-kindness feels elusive, our intention becomes our bedrock. It whispers, “You’re enough as you are.”
    1. Self-Reflect: Pause and connect with your inner self. What do you truly desire from this practice? Is it compassion, peace, self-acceptance, loving kindness?
    2. Write It Down: Craft an intention. “I intend to hold myself with compassion.”
    3. Let Go of Perfection: Trust that your intention will guide you.
    4. Reiki your Intentions. Reiki can support clearing negative energies and raising the vibration and support manifesting intentions for the highest good. 
      • “May I meet my inner struggles with kindness.”
      • “I intend to embrace imperfection with loving kindness, compassion and understanding I am here to learn, grow and evolve.”
      • “May this meditation nourish my body, mind and allow my Soul to shine through.”
        1. Mindful Breath Awareness: Begin by silently stating your intention. Breathe in alignment with it, allowing compassion to infuse each breath.
        2. Reiki: Asking Reiki to support you in shifting - letting go of for example "overwhelm and calling in compassion." Reiki can clear blocks to compassion, etc. 
        3. Visualization: Picture your intention as a soft glow within you. Let it expand, illuminating your entire being.
        4. Path Actualization: Imagine walking a path toward your intention. Each step brings you closer to self-compassion.
        5. Habit Formation: Use your intention as a daily affirmation. Repeat it during your morning ritual, on a walk or before sleep.
        6. Declare Your Resolve: Speak your intention aloud. Let the universe witness your commitment. This activates your empowered creator. Also letting the Universe know you are wanting to call in and go into co-creator mode with Universe. 
        7. Journaling: Write about your intention’s impact on your practice and life. Begin to know how it manifests and shows up. The more you bring attention to how it is coming in and where the shifts happen, the more it can expand in your life. 
          • Center Yourself: Breathe deeply, grounding...
          • Light Energy Positivity/Reiki: (this is different than "being positive". Because you can be processing sadness and still have "Light Energy Positivy/Reiki" moving through you.) Ensure your intention has beneficial uplifting for you. If you are clearing fear then ask "Clear the fear and bring in peace." What you want to clear + bring in = shifting 
          • Surrender/Trust: Let it unfold naturally; Trust that your intention is HEARD by the Universe, and let go and TRUST/SURRENDER and allow it to manifest for the highest good. 

            • As you sit in stillness, let your intention be your gentle guide—a beacon of light leading you toward ease, compassion, and self-discovery. Remember, meditation isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence. May your intention ripple through your practice, touching the depths of your being for the highest good. 🌟
