By Jessica Gallagher
When I first learned Reiki in 2015, I self-treated every day. Like so many people experience, the practice was deeply healing, grounding and revitalising. It helped me slow down and truly connect with myself and with Reiki.
Over time, as life became busier, my self-treatment became more sporadic. And, as is often the way with self-care, the times I needed Reiki the most were often the times I practised it the least.
In October 2024, I attended the Reiki Association Annual Gathering for the first time. It was an inspirational weekend and a catalyst for deep reflection and personal growth. I felt clearly called to make Reiki a bigger part of my life. The following month, my Reiki business seemed to start itself and everything aligned with very little effort, as though Reiki itself was saying: now is the time.
As my practice with clients grew, I realised I wanted to strengthen my own daily connection with Reiki. In September, I committed to 21 consecutive days of self-treatment to rebuild good habits and prioritise self-care. Knowing I work best with accountability, I set up a small WhatsApp group with encouragement from my Reiki Master, Kate Jones. Word spread quickly and, with just two days’ notice, we were 40 people strong and the ‘21 Days of Reiki’ community was born.
The response was so positive, and we will be repeating the practice. Our Winter journey began on New Year’s Day with almost 100 participants. It was a nurturing and revitalising way to start the year. This growing, supportive community has been a true blessing and a beautiful example of how Reiki naturally brings people together.
