Reiki Painting FAQs
What is Reiki?
Reiki is an energy healing technique, using the hands as a conduit to deliver energy. Reiki has been practiced for about 2,500 years, and the most current form of Reiki was developed by Mikao Usui in 1922. The term, "Reiki", refers to the universal life force energy that flows through all living things. Reiki at its core is energy healing, and helps people become balanced emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.
What is Reiki used for?
It can be used as complementary alternative therapy to conventional treatment, including in hospitals, and benefits conditions such as cancer, cancer-related fatigue, heart disease, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, autism, infertility, infections, digestive issues, among other conditions, including severe cases of overall poor health.
But Reiki isn’t only for health & wellness; it can also be applied to struggles in grief and loss, divorce, career, a break up and family disputes. When we want to help a loved one who is experiencing health challenges, especially if in a different location, we can turn to sending healing, positive energy through imagery which can make this process more powerful.

The person in mind is being sent positive, healing energy as if the desire has already happened, and that energy is infused into the painting. Reiki portrait paintings are tools for visualization, energetic protection and to increase the chances of your desired outcome, made specifically for you.
I prepare to work by getting into a reflective, receptive state with meditation and use visualization, affirmations, and a singing bowl as I paint.
When you receive the painting, it should be placed where it is seen often and for most of the day. Each time it is viewed, the power of the painting is amplified, as it’s an anchor point to remind you of what it is you wish for.
What are the benefits of Reiki paintings?
- Create what you want, send positive healing energy to a loved one who needs it, or for yourself with an art piece made with your situation in mind.
- Make your vision come to life on a painting.
- Empowering artwork; a gift to encourage confidence and courage; anniversaries, birthdays.
- Gifts as energetic protection or amplification If you’re looking for a way to help a loved one but are unsure how to do that, gift them a painting that serves as wall art and to show you care for their well-being.
- Achieve tranquility through this unique way of prayer and meditation.
- The centerpiece of beauty - Reiki paintings’ mixed style of abstraction and realism can become the center of attention and with added viewers, it can amplify the power of the painting.

Is a Reiki painting for me?
I know I’m speaking to some of you who this resonates with, those who are invested in their own healing and development, and who are looking for a way to become empowered and empower others.
How do I commission a Reiki painting?
We discuss the subject of the portrait, the person or pet, and the issue or desire by phone or email. Since the topic can be personal, you can tell me as much as you wish to share. I visualize, pray/affirm and listen to affirmations, frequencies and songs as I create them. You can book an appointment via Zoom or phone here
How long does a Reiki portrait painting take?
Depending on the size and complexity, the turnaround time is about 8-10 weeks (to allow for drying time) after the concept/image is agreed on and a deposit is made. Please contact me well in advance, so we can work together to get you what you need when you need it.
Can I rely only on these Reiki paintings for healing?
According to Neuroscientist Pierre Lemarquis, there is “scientific evidence that tells us art can change the brain and the body and advance well-being in ways that can be measured, mapped, and put into practice….You need medicine that’s purely scientific to address the illness, and medicine that’s a little artistic, to address the person, their humanity. The two are complementary. People need to dream. They need imagination.”
I don’t make promises but offer you a tool to empower you. It is a very personal choice of what you decide for healing, that responsibility and decision rests on you.
A Reiki painting is an anchor point and once it’s handed over, it’s up to you to focus on the desired outcome, to be open to the possibilities, and to gather the proof that it’s happening.
____________________________________________________________________________
I want to emphasize that a Reiki painting is a tool that should be used regularly for best results. Similar to working out, the benefits may not be immediately noticeable until it becomes a consistent practice. However, when I use a Reiki painting to send positive energy to myself or others, I often receive feedback that there has been an improvement in mindset or physical well-being. While the changes may be temporary, involving more people and on a consistent basis in this practice could yield even greater benefits.
Again, there are no guarantees, and how and when things unfold are to be seen. For example, a person may have multiple issues to recover from and the healing process can unfold at different times.
