Reiki Activates the Spiritual Frequency of Optimism

Key Takeaways: Choosing Hope as a Living Practice

• Optimism as an Act of Resistance: Choosing hope in a challenging world is a powerful way to reclaim your personal power and refuse to be pulled into collective darkness.
• Reiki as an External Support: When you cannot find optimism within yourself, Reiki provides a high-vibrational frequency you can call in for support.
• The Power of Choice: Reiki helps you choose higher frequencies like gratitude and hope even on days when you do not feel them naturally.
• Microdosing Your Practice: Small, intentional moments of connection throughout your day can

I had a session recently with a client who wanted to learn how to embody gratitude. We talked about how beautiful it is to choose these higher frequencies on the days when they do not come easily. We live in a world of duality. There is shadow and there is light. Choosing to look toward the light is an act of resistance. It is easy to be caught in the darkness. I am not saying there are not days where I feel the weight of it too. But I refuse to stay in the place where everything is bleak and doom.

I see the goodness in people. I see it in random acts of kindness between strangers. I see it when people work together to help one another. This choice to focus on love and kindness is what I mean by holding the frequency of optimism. It is not about ignoring the hard things. It is about deciding which reality you are going to feed.

What is the Frequency of Optimism?

The frequency of optimism is a life force energy and an enlightened frequency that exists outside our personal emotional state. It is a divine gift that helps us see possibilities and kindness in the world, even during stressful or dark times. In a Reiki meditation, we can ask to receive this frequency to help us find the light when our own inner awareness feels obscured by the worries of the world.

How can I find hope when the world feels dark?

We have a lot coming at us all the time. The level to which we are all online means that news and global events are a constant part of our daily lives. It is a lot to process. When I look at the world, I see the duality. One has to exist for the other to exist. We have night and day, shadow and light.

I refuse to believe that being human means being complacent or pliable in the face of darkness. I choose to believe in hope. I choose to be optimistic. Choosing to believe in these things is one of the biggest acts of resistance I can offer. It is a way of saying that I will not be defined by the bleakness. I believe the darkness is intentional to make the masses feel powerless. The power I do have is my choice to see the beauty and the love that exists in human beings.

I often look for and see stories that remind me of the love and kindness in people.  There was a story recently about a dog stuck in a flood in a concrete canal. People formed a human chain to save that dog. They risked themselves to pull the dog to safety. Those acts of love happen every day. They remind us that at our core, we are loving beings full of kindness. I choose to focus on that.

Can Reiki help me feel optimistic if I am exhausted?

There are cycles in life where things feel personally hard. We go through grief, health challenges, or dark nights of the soul. In those moments, it is okay to not feel okay. You do not have to bypass your reality or pretend you are happy.

This is where your Reiki practice is so helpful. Because Reiki is an enlightened frequency outside of ourselves, we do not have to drum it up from our own life force. When you are exhausted and cannot see the light, you can call in the Reiki energy. I invite Reiki energy when I cannot find the hope on my own that day.

When you fill up with Reiki energy, everything looks a little brighter. It helps you find the strength to come out the other side of a challenge with a new understanding. You might look back on a hard time and realize that the rain was watering the garden of your life. It allows you to bloom in a different way, with more wisdom and compassion than you had before.

How do I practice Reiki on the fly during a busy day?

Colleen often talks about microdosing Reiki. Reset your energy by using small doses of Reiki throughout your day. You can use Reiki on the fly to bring yourself back to center. Even a small moment of connection keeps the momentum of your practice alive.

One simple practice involves using your breath and your hands. You can place your thumb and first finger together and take a breath, noticing the air move into your upper chest. Moving your thumb to each finger shifts where the breath lands in your body, from your ribs to your belly and then deeper toward the earth.

When you add Reiki to this, it becomes a way to regulate your system. If you notice your mind wandering into negative spirals, use your tools. Place your hands on your heart for three minutes. Say to yourself, "I allow the energy to move through me with ease." These small practices throughout your day help you stay in your own life force rather than getting caught in the stress of the world.

Spiritual Insight: The Choice of the Heart

Robyn talks about raising her daughter, Luna, in today's world. She says, “I see the anxiety that younger generations feel. I do not want to be an example of hopelessness for her. If I can hold the frequencies of optimism and hope, I can ripple that out to her. I can show her that there is goodness and possibility.”

We are like mycelia. We are webs of one organism living across the planet. We are connected. If we carry love and optimism in my heart and we act from that place, it shines onto the people around us. You might see someone in the grocery store and choose to show them love regardless of how they are behaving. You are anchoring your light into your own knowing. That is how we start to change the reality we live in together.
