4 Signs your Frequency is ready for a tune up.
If you’re an energy practitioner, or you dabble in the world of energy & manifestation. You may already know that Reik & vibrational healing is one of the most powerful things you can do to remove blocks, grow spiritually, and maintain a higher frequency (without adding to your to do list).
In this article you’ll learn how how your vibration can impact you, and what happens when you receive reiki vibrational healing. You’ll also get the exact next step you can take to incorporate a Reiki and vibrational healing practice so that you’re able to receive the benefits for yourself.
As a practitioner and Reiki Master Teacher, I’ve seen Reiki in many forms. I’ve offered different styles. Some being straight reiki, some with deeper intuitive readings and clearings. I’ve held sessions for people, animals, nature, the collective, even house readings & clearings. Every focus you can think of! Clients have come to me for sessions when they’ve been diagnosed with cancer. Some are drawn to sessions with me to clear trauma that is preventing them from finding love or becoming pregnant. Some simply to clear frustration at traffic jams! Reiki helps with nearly everything. I’ll explain why in a moment..
When you include an intuitive reading added on to reiki, you’re able to see the exact block that was keeping you from pursuing a dream. You can even remove the energy block with Reiki. This is why Reiki pairs so well with your manifestation practice and should not be skipped.
Reiki is the most accessible, available, and holistic healing system out there. It’s gentle, easy to do, anyone can benefit and channel it themselves. Even if you aren’t a certified practitioner. I’ll show you how you can begin to incorporate it.
But first it’s good to know what reiki is.
Reiki is a Japanese word which means Universal or spiritual energy. The practice of Reiki allows you to easily tap into that Universal energy. Often - Reiki can feel like the frequency of unconditional love. That’s why after a session you may feel more loving, calm, and at peace.
When you receive reiki, you are clearing the way for anything that doesn’t match the frequency of unconditional love to fall away. Leaving you more aligned with your Higher Self (learn all about Alignment to your Higher Self here).
But what happens if you aren’t receiving reiki or coming back into the state of alignment often?
Here’s 4 Signs you could benefit from a frequency tune up:
1. You experience anger, agitation, or you get frustrated easily.
If you find yourself noticing the bad more often than the good, odds are you aren’t in an aligned frequency. When you think about manifestation - this becomes an issue because you attract back the energy you put out. If you’re in an angry mood? More anger is headed your way.
Disruptions in your energy are often what causes the moodiness. This results in feeling irritable, unhappy, getting upset with what’s happening in your life. It’s happening for many people lately.
The reason why is this: The overwhelm of what we experience online and in the world is more than the nervous system was designed to handle. Each time you focus your energy somewhere new, jumping from topic to topic (ahem, scrolling), your energy fragments. Those fragmentations build up causing you to feel scattered, distracted, irritable, and generally unwell.
“Each time you focus your energy somewhere new, jumping from topic to topic, your energy fragments””
Reiki steps in to replenish your spirit and your energy to CLEAR what isn’t yours. Allowing a natural refocus on what you DO love. Which in turn, begins to reflect back (manifest) more good into your life.
You’ve heard it before: “Focus on what you do want”. Yet, it’s reasonable if this has felt difficult for you. The world… can seem as though it’s fragmenting too.
There is a solution though. I’ll show you how to re-align, for you and the world, and how you can keep it there without adding to your to do list.
2. You feel (and take on) the energy of others
Much like #1 above, even more if you are an empath. Empathic people feel deeply. If you are empathic, you have a wonderful capacity to read emotions, energy, and the thoughts of others. This can show up serving you, as in: having a fantastic connection with your intuition, and a greater ability to manifest what you want.
However, on the heavier side, it can show up as a friend venting to you, with the result being your friend feeling refreshed & lighter having vented, but you feeling heavier, keeping that emotional weight. Or you might see something sad or stressful in the news or on social media (even watching a sad moment in a movie), and you take that energy on, keeping it.
When you focus on alignment daily, with Reiki, it allows you to develop a healthy energy boundary. Instead of feeling drained by others and what you see, you begin to intuitively sense it, without taking it on as your own.
This is massive and a complete shift in vibration for my clients who have master this. It’s available to you too.
“Instead of feeling drained by others, you begin to intuitively sense it without taking it on as your own”
In addition, your intuition grows as rapidly as that new energy boundary.
This is a crucial step to re-gaining your energy and your power. Reiki helps beautifully with this. The more you are in your own power and feeling energetically “complete”, the less you will take on from others. Your energy says “I have all that I need, I’m complete”.
Vs, showing up with fragmented energy and a lack of boundaries? That is a fast track to pick up every emotion you encounter. Which results in you feeling stressed, anxious, and depressed. Or worse: migraines, heartburn, insomnia. If you’re empathic and experience any of these? They may not even be your own.
Reiki gently clears it all, while helping you add a natural energy boundary at the same time. Think of it like your own personal powerful and loving force field!
There are two more signs that your frequency may be in need of a tuneup that we cannot overlook. The first of them? This symptom:
3. You are overwhelmed.
Let’s say you are doing your best, trying to focus on what you want, but it seem as if you fall into one (or more) of these:
A) There just isn’t enough time in the day.
B) You aren’t sure what to do to get tasks done /or what is best to focus on.
C) You know what to do, but you simply aren’t doing it.
Maybe you experience executive dysfunction or were diagnosed with ADHD. Maybe you were told that you’ll have periods where you just CAN’T get stuff done. Perhaps you’re hard on yourself, or feeling as if every year (heck every day!) goes by faster and faster!
You might have thoughts like “There’s too much to do, i’ll never get it done. I just need a minute. I can’t do that, who am i to offer that, I don’t know where to start.” Maybe even: “This is a failure…”
This is a sign you’re out of alignment and experiencing energy blocks. Something is keeping you from actual flow.
The Universe is designed on a flow system of energy. It is always flowing! Yes, it’s normal to build up blocks in your energy system. The issue is when you keep them. That’s why movement practices like yoga, tai chi, or qi gong tend to put people in such peaceful places. The movements break up and clear your energy pathways.
Reiki does this as well. It even goes a step further clearing the mental layer and blocks too. If there is something you know you’re meant for, but struggling to fulfill? Or even struggling to feel like you can enjoy the day at a relaxed pace? There’s likely an energy block present.
Reiki clears the blocks and gets you into your own optimal flow. Taking action becomes a lot easier and a lot more joyful. Thanks to that frequency of unconditional love!
4. If your health is suffering.
Ou. This one is serious. Because everything in your life, begins with how well you feel in your own body. Chronic stress hurts your health. Reiki powerfully benefits and improves your health. By bringing you out of fight or flight into a relaxed nervous system again and again, you are giving your body space to naturally heal. The book Why Woo-Woo works has a whole chapter on the studies and examples of reiki healing many health issues. Headaches, nausea, recovering from surgery quicker, weight management, toothaches, you name it: reiki can likely help.
Your body is a perfectly designed machine ready to find balance, again and again. Treat it right and fill it with reiki energy? You’ll move towards optimal health.

Daily Reiki is the most powerful thing you can do to remove blocks, enhance your intuition, and maintain a higher frequency without adding to your to do list.
When you’re able to bring it into your daily life, even a few minutes a day, or simply turning on the TAP to flow to you throughout your day (no time required), you’re calling your energy back to alignment again and again. You aer receiving the powerful benefits of reiki as it’s channeled to you, and: You’re setting up a pattern where your energy and your body return to Alignment on its own.
When you can commit to your energy practice (as shared in this article: 365 days of Reiki, what I learned that I did NOT expect), you’ll see exciting and powerful changes within your own energy system.
I’ve seen this before with clients who commit to an alignment practice. I’ve gotten to witness the change in someone's life as they move towards their dreams just from one Energy session alone!
And, I’ve gotten the privilege to guide students on how to do their own in-depth intuitive energy readings. From people who are just starting with energy work, to practicing mediums, and everywhere in between. I’ve seen shifts at every layer. Because it IS layers, your energy is always expanding.
Your energy is powerful. It is what creates the world around you. If your energy is fragmented like discussed above? What world are you creating?
If you are excited by the thought of a whole, happier, and more peaceful world? You being whole, happy, and balanced is the way that world will be created.
Those who turn to alignment practices, those who can successfully raise their vibration are changing the world to be more peaceful. Just by being in aligned energy! As a bonus, that energy allows them to automatially manifest what they want in their personal lives too. Does it get better than that?!
To go a step further: the idea of daily reiki (versus a drop in session a few times a year) is so that you are maintaining alignment. You are tuning your energy to be OF the frequency of unconditional love everyday.
Imagine if you were to forage a path through the forest, the first path would be tricky with plants, brush, and blocks in your way. If you didn’t repeat soon? It would quickly become overgrown with plants again wouldn’t it? Yet if you do it daily, you build a pattern, a path forward with ease. A clearing. That’s where the magic can flow in.
That’s the power of a daily reiki practice.
