Some days feel like a battle.
You wake up feeling drained with a heavy weight sitting on your shoulders. Your head is foggy and scattered. Getting out of bed is challenging, let alone finding the drive to enjoy your day.
Regardless of the cause, at an energetic level, this results from low levels of vital energy and poor function of your primary chakras.
If ignored, this state can continue its path and create more severe physical and emotional imbalances.
While the complete Reiki self-treatment is the ideal solution, what do you do on a rushed morning?
The Pillar of Light is a great option.
When you don’t have much time on your hands, you can use this method to clear your mind and go about your day. Of course, there are some things to keep in mind. But for the most part, it’s better to have options to choose from than ignore the symptoms and let them pile up.
Let’s see how the Pillar of Light can help!
What Is The Pillar Of Light
It’s a simple method for stimulating vital energy.
Originally part of traditional Reiki, the Pillar of Light was used on the back of the body. It was very efficient in cleansing the spine and back-related issues. Still, it has proven to be quite helpful in many other applications.
Today, I like to use it to cleanse and stimulate the back projections of the primary chakras and the main energy channel, Sushumna.
3 Benefits Of Using The Pillar Of Light In The Morning
Due to its influence on our vital energy, the Pillar of Light is ideal in the morning.
It’s like drinking coffee, but from an energetic standpoint. The difference is that you must do it for a few continuous days for the best outcome. Like anything in Reiki, don’t expect immediate results.
That’s why I recommend practicing the Pillar of Light for ten consecutive days before jumping to conclusions.
Think of it as a mechanism for realigning your energy rather than a quick-fix. It may take longer to unfold, but the results should be more profound and long-lasting.
Here’s what to expect from the Pillar of Light method:
1) Boosts vital energy – This can help combat fatigue and dissolve the feeling of “heaviness” upon waking up.
2) Purifies the main energy channel – Helps remove residual energies and blockages from the main energy channel Sushumna. This translates into a smoother flow of both vital and universal life force energy.
3) Cleanses and activates chakras – Helps cleanse and stimulate the activation of the back projection of the primary chakras. Its influence is predominant on the middle chakras, namely: the third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, and sacral.
Of course, you can expect the Pillar of Light to raise your overall vibration and clear your mind of stray thoughts and negative projections. It will give you a boost in mental clarity and enhance your focus. Therefore, it helps combat fatigue and stress-related blockages.
How To Use The Pillar Of Light
- Activate your palms by thoroughly rubbing them against each other.
- Add Reiki symbols to enhance the effect.
- Place one palm on the lower back of the head and the other on the lower back of the body, the sacral area.
- Stay in this position for about 10–15 minutes.
NOTE: The palms have no polarity. So, it doesn’t matter whether you place the front or back of your palm in these positions.
There is no need to force the energy to flow or try to make yourself feel something specific. Just allow the universal energy to flow naturally and then carry on with your day.
One Final Word
I like practicing this technique consistently for several weeks.
I give myself time and expect gradual improvements because I see it as a realignment rather than an immediate solution. When I feel like my body is under stress, I also do my best to compensate with better meals and more rest. I’m more intentional so that each action can support the other.
Reiki, just like in life, should address the individual as a whole. It’s much easier to reach a state of balance when you tackle a problem from all angles.
Amplify its effects through a holistic approach to well-being.
That being said…
You can always use the Pillar of Light as a stand-alone method.
When time is scarce, it can boost your vital energy.
But, understanding its role and mechanism can yield better results over time.
Experiment with the Pillar of Light to find the optimal use for your needs.
