Reiki, The perfect addition to your child's bedtime routine

​The 5 Step Plan To Give Your Kids A Nighttime Reiki RoutineBy Heidi Ronquillo

Kids love Reiki! Who doesn’t?
They are so naturally drawn to the energy, and they benefit so much from it. 
With that being said Reiki is a great addition to any child’s bedtime routine.
All kids should have a bedtime routine to help them calm down as well as feel grounded before they drift to sleep.
This will help them relax and get the rest they need to tackle the next day ahead. 
What better way to help our kids calm their energy before bedtime than including Reiki into their routine?
Just a few minutes before their bedtime have them do their usual routine of brushing their teeth, and just as they fluff their pillow and get tucked in you help guide them into a restful, healing sleep. 
Reiki will help calm and ground their energy from a hectic stressful day at school, day care, football or dance practice, etc. 
Let’s face it, kids nowadays have such hectic schedules and are facing so much anxiety and stress that they can really benefit from Reiki. 
The Reiki energy will also help to cleanse any stagnant/negative energy absorbed into their chakras/aura.

Reiki Routine

The following guided visual meditation along with a quick 10-15 minute Reiki session will help calm their minds for a restful night’s sleep.

1. Begin by having them lay down and get settled in bed.
2. Have them take several deep breaths and close their eyes.
3. Begin by having them visualize a white light coming in through the crown of their head as you begin Reiki.
4. Then guide the light to their third eye where they will see a purple/indigo light, followed by a blue light for their throat chakra, pink and/or green for their heart chakra, yellow for their solar plexus chakra, orange for the sacral chakra and red for the root chakra.
5. You will then have them visualize all these colors surrounding them like a rainbow slowly blending into a white light surrounding them and protecting them in love.

Once the meditation and Reiki is complete they should be feeling peaceful and serene ready to drift into a good night’s sleep!
