You don't need to be experienced with Reiki to receive its benefits.
All you have to do.
Sudden intention.
And be open to receiving.
Sound a little too easy?
Let me explain.
My name is Fletcher.
I'd like to share with you today a little bit about my personal story in getting to know Reiki and how it came into and changed my life.
And also how we create the crystal meditations on Insight Timer.
Back in 2006.
Bye.
Was looking for something to help me understand energy.
The year before I had just gotten my very first yoga teacher training and I just felt like energy was very abstract and I needed to have a better grasp on it to help my students.
Enter.
I've never heard of it before at all.
And the very first training that I went to,
I really just did for personal research and connection so that I could have a deeper understanding of these yogic energy concepts,
Even though the two fields are completely different.
Anywhere.
I can definitely feel something during the class.
Very shortly afterwards.
My dad had a heart attack.
Now,
He's a real man's man,
And he's not into what he would consider this woo-woo stuff.
But upon my arrival at the hospital,
We're waiting for the helicopter to come and get him.
We live in a rural area.
Take him to a better hospital.
Meanwhile.
.
.
He's basically dying.
And I feel my hands get hot,
Which is a sign that Reiki is starting.
Now,
You are always supposed to ask permission before allowing Reiki to flow.
So I asked my dad,
Hey,
Do you think it would be okay if I gave you some Reiki right now?
And he rolled his eyes as best as he could.
And he's like,
Whatever,
Fletch,
Do what you know.
Do whatever you want.
At that point,
Honestly,
He didn't even care.
So the hospital is about two weeks away.
He's in ICU for a couple of weeks.
He has multiple visitors,
Including family members,
And honestly seems lucid the whole time.
Well,
When he gets home,
He and my mom are chatting about his experience.
And come to find out he really doesn't remember very much of it at all.
But what he did tell my mom was.
.
.
Her hands were humble.
Her hands were hot.
And interestingly,
I never even touched him.
I was just casually standing in the hospital with my hands kind of in a nonchalant position because I didn't want to calling the attention to myself.
And of all the things for him to remember during that experience.
That told me there's something to this Reiki.
Now,
By no means am I saying that I saved his life or anything like that.
But what I am saying is that I knew Reiki was real in that moment when I heard my dad say her hands were hot.
This led me on a wild trip.
I got my Reiki One certification.
To certification back then they had this level three advanced training,
But now it's been combined with the master program.
And then went on to Holy Fire and Karuna.
These are through William Brand,
Who is kind of a modern day,
For lack of a better word,
Guru,
Head of the International Center of Reiki.
And so he has professional standards and trainings and that is who I am under in my lineage.
So that makes me a holy fire Karuna Reiki master.
That was about it.
20 years ago.
So I have had some very wild experiences through Reiki.
Now sometimes people just fall asleep.
Sometimes they feel warm or tingly.
Sometimes they get visualizations.
So it's best to not try to force an outcome,
But just to allow the Reiki to come through you and impact you as need be.
The thing is,
When I set an intention and the general nature of Reiki is to provide you with exactly what it is that you need in the moment that you're listening to a meditation.
Aeon.
For you also to be able to release what is no longer serving you.
I ask for our ascended masters to protect the space.
And essentially ask for protections and blessings.
And then in each of the meditations,
They each have their own theme.
You will also set an intention with what bubbles up for you.
And so you'll notice that there are quite a few crystal meditations.
And so you could think about crystals like tea or spices.
You add it into a meal or water and it has a specific impact and so Each of the crystal meditations that I've done has its own intention.
I do not look up the crystal meaning ahead of time.
I just hold this crystal.
And ask it to share with me how it can best be supportive.
And then essentially I'm channeling through spirit these meditations in real time as I'm recording them.
So the one that I did with pyrite.
Was about illumination.
It was about.
Removing your armor enough that your inner light can shine through because sometimes we block ourselves.
So we didn't take the armor all the way off.
I'm not going to spoil all the secrets,
But I'm not going to leave you out there completely unprotected or anything.
But the pyrite was about letting yourself shine in a protected way.
I did one with Lemurian Quartz that was about potentializing.
There's moss agate that is about interconnectedness.
Blue calcite,
That's for refreshing.
A honey calcite for joy and contentment.
It's pretty expansive,
Malachite for deep heart transformation.
Carnelian for finding your inner warrior and even black tourmaline for when you need to.
.
.
Protect your boundaries.
The smoky quartz is good for that too,
But they're a little bit different,
Nuanced,
Right?
So you can choose based on what seems good for you.
Now let's talk about the crystals.
Do you need to have a crystal with you when you do these meditations?
No,
Absolutely not,
Because that energy is being transmuted through the Reiki.
I light the candle,
I'm calling in spirit,
And the crystal is helping me send this to you.
If you happen to have a crystal of the same type and you want to use it in the process,
Please do.
You could just have it in your space.
You could place it on your body or hold it in your hand.
There's lots of different ways that you can work with the crystal.
And in fact,
Some of them told me how they wanted to be used in specific meditations.
So even sometimes they tell me what position,
If they'd rather have you seated or laying down.
But I just tried not to control it,
Allow it to come through,
And I asked the same of you.
So we're always setting intentions and just knowing that you are in a safe environment.
Here,
You're protected,
You are clear on what the intention is,
And you're allowing yourself to connect,
Receive,
Replenish,
Whatever it is that you need right now that has brought you to this video right now.
I would encourage you to follow this profile.
Listen to some meditations.
I have lots of free ones.
I have ones in the plus as well.
I'm doing live events and I'm completely open to if you're really craving something or needing something,
Let me know and I would be happy to download it for you.
So let's just see here if I'm forgetting anything.
I wanted to make some little notes here for you.
I think that's it.
Again,
This is Fletcher Johnson,
Holy Fire Karuna Reiki Master,
Here to help answer your questions about Reiki and how crystals work with distance Reiki.
I hope this has been informative and please let me know if there's any other ways that I can best serve you.
