Why Reiki Ain’t Working For You (and How to Unblock the Flow)

From the desk of your Positive Inner-G Coach, Reiki Ra-Ess


Intro:
Let me guess—you tried Reiki, and nothing happened. Maybe it felt nice for a minute, but the deep, cosmic healing you were hoping for? Crickets. Nada. And now you’re thinking, “Maybe Reiki just ain’t for me.”

Hold up, sis. That ain’t the whole story.

Reiki is working. But here’s the truth most folks don’t wanna hear: Reiki can only work where energy is welcomed. If your spiritual door is locked with emotional clutter and inner chaos, the healing can’t come in. You don’t have to be perfect to receive Reiki, but you do have to be open.

Let’s break down five real reasons why you might not be seeing the fruits of Reiki in your life — and how to finally let that healing flow.


1. You’re Always Worried (Root Chakra Blocked)
Worry is a thief in your temple. It keeps you locked in survival mode, telling your body and spirit that you ain’t safe. Reiki can’t root into soil that’s shaking all the time.

Inner-G Shift:
Stand barefoot on the earth. Breathe in deeply. Say: “I am safe. I am supported. I am grounded.”


2. You Stay Angry (Solar Plexus Overloaded)
Anger is fire energy. It can light up your purpose or burn down your peace. When you stay mad, Reiki feels like a threat, not a friend.

Inner-G Shift:
Light a yellow candle and release what you can’t control. Affirm: “I choose peace. I reclaim my power with purpose.”


3. You Keep Lying (Throat Chakra Closed Off)
If you’re not being honest—with yourself or others—you’re jamming your throat chakra. Reiki is truth, and truth can’t land where lies live.

Inner-G Shift:
Journal what you really feel. Speak your truth aloud. Say: “My voice is sacred. My truth is safe with me.”


4. You’re Ungrateful (Crown Chakra Cut Off)
Gratitude is the Wi-Fi to Source. When you’re ungrateful, it’s like walking around with no signal and expecting a download. Reiki needs an open line.

Inner-G Shift:
List 3 things you’re grateful for daily. Affirm: “I honor what is. I attract more.”


5. You’re Just Mean (Heart Chakra Blocked AF)
Whew. If you walk around guarded, bitter, or cold, you are repelling Reiki like a bug spray. You can’t receive love if your heart is under lockdown.

Inner-G Shift:
Do one kind thing today with no expectation. Say: “Love flows to me and through me.”


Final Thought from Your Positive Inner-G Coach:
Reiki ain’t a magic trick—it’s a mirror. It reflects the energy you carry. The more open, grateful, honest, and loving you are, the more Reiki can show out in your life. You don’t have to be a guru to feel the shift, but you do have to get real with yourself.
