Meditation is a very important part of Reiki - a form of healing practice from Japan. This meditation has some benefits, according to Reiki practitioners, which includes clairvoyance (the ability to foresee things), greater ability of visualization, enhanced relaxation (improves self healing) and a greater awareness.

Through meditations your energy is balanced. This balance in your energy helps in your healing process as well as in healing others via "energy attunement". As with any other meditation technique you aren't supposed to force things to happen but rather to "let them flow". This way your frustrations will go away and in return you'll find the inner peace you're looking. It's like in real life – you cannot force the nature to change its course but you need to accept it anyway.

There are four major forms of Reiki meditation.

Breathing meditation – is the prelude of all the other forms. You need to breathe slowly and focus your mind to Reiki. Another form requires you to breathe normally, which somehow is opposed to the other form of breathing meditation. This form is usually used in the end of the breathing meditation as a transition from one meditative state to another.

Visualization - based meditation is another form of meditation from Reiki. The idea is to visualize the Reiki symbol or another object with your ‘third eye' as clearly as possible. This form of meditation is done only by those practitioners who have the second degree in Reiki training. Another thing you must visualize in this meditation form is to see your goal. Reiki helps you in achieving your day to day goal, besides healing you.

Postural meditation - the third form of Reiki meditation. In this form the practitioner can obtain the meditative state using various postures. This form of meditations is mostly used as a prelude to the other Reiki meditation forms, like breathing meditation which itself is a prelude form of other types of Reiki meditation. This form of meditation may be practiced sitting or even lying down. Other postures may be used as well.

Moment to moment meditation is the last form of Reiki Meditation. It requires devotion and manifest in the day to day roles of the practitioner. This is based on understanding things like avoiding worry or anger. Understanding and dispatching from these things along with devotion in one's vocation are the keys in a moment to moment meditation form. This form requires a detached attitude from the things mentioned above. You must understand and do all these things in order to be a good Reiki practitioner.
