Mira was disappointed.
She was deep in thought, sitting by her window, staring at the untouched salad in front of her. She looked at the food that she was tired of eating day and night.
She had tried everything to lose her weight—strict diets, intense workout regimens, weight loss supplements, but nothing worked. Each failed attempt left her more frustrated, making her seek more comfort in food.
An endless cycle. Of frustration. Despair. Hopelessness. Sadness.
Then her desperation to find an answer ignited a spark in her and then began her quest for weight loss that was sustainable.
A couple of weeks later she was on a leisure trip to the mountains with her friends where she saw a quiet monastery nestled between misty clouds. Not knowing that this is where destiny had brought her to find her answer. On that quaint top of the mountain, she met a middle aged man, with a petite frame, piercing eyes and yet the face was as calm as the sea and voice ever so gentle.
As she sat before him and took a glass of water (that she found sweet) and got talking to him. During their conversation she came to know that he was a Reiki master who lived in the monastery.
She heard from him about the power of Reiki, and when the curiosity got the better of her she asked if Reiki could help her lose weight. The master, with eyes deep as the sea, smiled and nodded Yes!
And thus began Mira’s Weight loss journey with Reiki.
And The Journey Begins
Mira: Shifu, I have tried everything—diets, exercise, even fasting—but my weight refuses to leave me. Why is this so difficult?
Shifu: Tell me, child, do you only carry weight on your body, or do you also carry burdens in your heart?
Mira: (pausing) I suppose… I do. Stress, past failures, guilt… but how does that connect to my weight?
Shifu: The body is the last place where imbalances show. Before weight is stored in flesh, it is first stored in the mind, the emotions, and even past lives. If you wish to release the weight, you must first release what caused it.
Mira: And how do I do that?
Infusing Food with Reiki Energy
Shifu: First, we begin with the simplest act—eating. Do you bless your food before you eat?
Mira: Bless my food? You mean like saying grace?
Shifu: (chuckling) Not quite. This is where Reiki helps. I can teach you how to Reiki. You cn literally Reiki everything around you.
You can Hold your hands over your plate, close your eyes, and say:
“May this food nourish my body, mind, and soul. May it help me release what no longer serves me and bring me towards my healthiest self.”
Now, draw the Reiki Power Symbol—Cho Ku Rei—over your meal, visualizing golden light filling your food.
Mira: (curious) And what does this do?
Shifu: Just as a kind word can uplift the spirit, an intention can uplift the vibration of your food. When you bless your meals with Reiki, your body digests not just nutrients, but healing energy.
Studies in quantum physics suggest that our thoughts and intentions can change the molecular structure of substances. By blessing our food, we raise its vibration, making it more beneficial for our body.
The Power of Reiki Water
Mira: What about what I drink? Can Reiki help there too?
Shifu: Water holds memory. It listens to what you tell it. Every morning, take a glass of water, hold it in your hands, and say:
“May this water cleanse and purify my body, flushing out toxins and unnecessary weight.”
Then drink it slowly, feeling it wash away all that you no longer need.
Mira: (thoughtful) So every sip becomes a healing elixir?
Shifu: Exactly. A simple act, yet powerful.
Healing the Emotional Body
Mira: But Shifu, I don’t just eat when I’m hungry. I eat when I’m sad, anxious, or stressed. How do I stop that?
Shifu: (nodding) Emotional eating is not about food; it is about filling an emptiness. But you cannot fill a wound—you must heal it. This is where Reiki helps again to heal not only physically but emotionally and Spiritually as well.
Place your hands over your Solar Plexus Chakra, where willpower and digestion reside. Call upon Reiki, let it flow, and say:
“I release all emotions that no longer serve me. I am free, I am light.”
Mira: Will that really help me control my cravings?
Shifu: Not control. Heal. The cravings are not the enemy; they are messengers. When you heal the wound, the messenger no longer needs to knock at your door.
Weight gain often stems from unresolved emotional wounds. Mira had years of suppressed emotions—stress from work, heartbreak, self-doubt—all of which manifested as extra weight.
She began a nightly practice where she would place her hands over her Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura)—the energy centre linked to digestion, metabolism, and willpower. She would channel Reiki into this area, allowing suppressed emotions to surface and release.
The Sei He Ki (Emotional Healing Symbol) became her best friend. Whenever she felt cravings triggered by stress or sadness, she would draw the symbol over her heart, breathing deeply until the urge passed.
Reiki Meditation for Weight Release
Mira: And if I still feel heavy, not just in body but in spirit?
Shifu: Then you must let the weight go at an even deeper level. Sit with me now and close your eyes…
(Mira closes her eyes. The Shifu’s voice is calm, steady, like a river flowing.)
“Imagine golden light entering your Crown Chakra. Feel it moving through your body, cleansing, washing away all heaviness, all blockages. See it melting the weight, carrying it into the Earth. Feel yourself becoming lighter, freer, more radiant.”
(Silence stretches between them. Mira’s breath slows, her shoulders relax.)
Mira: (whispering) That… felt different. Like I wasn’t just shedding weight, but sadness, fatigue…
Shifu: Because true weight loss is not just of the body, but of the soul.
After this Reiki experience with Shifu, Mira practiced a Reiki meditation daily.
She would sit in a quiet space, hands resting on her lap, and visualize a golden light entering through her Crown Chakra, flowing down her spine, cleansing every cell. She would imagine this light melting away excess weight, toxins, and negative energy, carrying them into the Earth.
This meditation, practiced for just 15 minutes a day, helped her feel lighter—not just physically, but emotionally and energetically.
Crystals for Weight Loss
Mira: Shifu, I have always been drawn to crystals. Can they help me on this journey?
Shifu: (smiling) Ah, wise intuition! Yes, crystals can amplify your energy.
- Citrine – Boosts metabolism and digestion
- Amethyst – Reduces cravings and emotional eating
- Blue Apatite – Suppresses appetite and removes energetic blockages
- Tiger’s Eye – Strengthens willpower and discipline
- Rose Quartz – Fills you with self-love and body acceptance
Wear them, carry them, or place them on your Solar Plexus while meditating
The Power of Words: “Releasing” Weight
Mira: Shifu, I keep saying I want to lose weight. But why does it always come back?
Shifu: Because the mind hears the word “lose” and believes you must find it again.
Mira: (eyes widening) Then what should I say?
Shifu: Say, “I am releasing all excess weight and energy that no longer serves me.” Release is a choice. It is freedom. And freedom is permanent.
Weight Loss and Past
Mira: Can past lives affect weight?
Shifu: Indeed. Some souls have memories of starvation, and the body clings to weight in fear. Some carry karmic burdens that manifest physically.
Mira: How do I know if this is my case?
Shifu: You can lose weight not only through Reiki but also Akashic Records. Sit in silence, call upon your guides, and ask to be shown the origin of your struggle. If past life energy is at play, you may see a vision, feel an emotion, or simply know.
The Transformation
Weeks passed. Mira practiced daily. She blessed her food, drank Reiki water, healed her emotions, meditated, and wore her crystals. She even accessed her past through Reiki, uncovering an old lifetime where she had known hunger, making her body afraid to let go of stored fat. Her transformation was undeniable. She hadn’t just dropped inches—she had released limiting beliefs, emotional baggage, and energetic blockages.
And then, one morning, she woke up feeling lighter—not just in body, but in soul.
She smiled at her reflection, not because she had reached a number on the scale, The weight no longer defined her as she finally felt at peace.
The Final Teaching
Mira: Shifu… I am not just losing weight. I am changing. I feel… whole.
Shifu: (nodding) Because, child, weight loss was never your true goal. Healing was. And when you heal, the body follows.
Mira bowed deeply. She had found her answer—not in a diet, not in a gym, but in Reiki, in energy, in the power of release.
