My beautiful experience with colors appearing during a reiki treatment.
A few years ago, I had a spectacular experience while performing a reiki treatment on a family friend, an experience I’ll never forget!
I had never treated this person before, and they had never experienced reiki before, so there was a “clean slate”, so to speak, which made the experience so much more profound.
I treated my family friend for about 90 minutes using a combination of acupuncture and reiki. As I often do when someone wants a ‘combo’ treatment, I left the needles in place, then performed a reiki treatment as normal.
The treatment went exceptionally well, meaning that the person became deeply relaxed, and occasionally reported feeling powerful, soothing heat in the area I was treating.
After the treatment was finished, the pain they had been feeling in several parts of their body for a long period of time had disappeared completely.
But the really wonderful surprise came after the treatment. When I asked if the person would like to share anything they experienced during the session, they said that they saw a spectacular lightshow of colors, clearly organized into recognizable patterns!
They explained to me that for the entire treatment, they saw bright golden light descending from the sky and entering the crown of my head, and also rainbow colors leaving my hands and penetrating right through them and down to the floor!
I was stunned!
Happily stunned!
I tried to best recreate their description in the illustration below. I have to ask you to excuse my terrible attempt to illustrate the colorful scene! I had to piece together basic images to represent it : ) But I hope that the essence of the event is captured.

“Many people when they experience a Reiki treatment or enjoy a Reiki course have the experience of seeing colours.
It is a common phenomenon though not one experienced by everyone. Some of us are more prone to visual experiences than others. So for those of you who may have experienced this here is a brief understanding of what it might mean for you.
It is commonly asserted that human beings have five senses – sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. We use these senses to learn about, and navigate in, the world. These senses are our antennae and as we grow up we begin to intellectually understand what it is to use these senses and what each of their benefits are.
To cross a road we use our ears to listen out for traffic, our sight to see the oncoming cars and the path we are about to walk, our touch to move easily from the footpath onto the road, perhaps our smell to check that everything is ‘safe’, and our taste on this occasion takes a backseat (unless you happen to be licking a lollipop at the time).
We are born with a natural ability to use one or more of our senses more than another and at the same time we also hone separate senses depending on our life choices.”

“Reiki returns the presence of beautiful colors back to our bodies and our lives. My Reiki guides tell me that Earth is the planet of color. It is unique in creation in the variety, quantity, and brilliance of color and when a spirit incarnates on the earth, its physical body will be made of the same brilliant colors. Whether human, tree, animal, or any other form that exists on this planet, color is a common element we all share. My guides also tell me that color is one of the main attractions of earth and a major reason our spirit loves to live here.
Color is also an element of spirit. Our spirit is full of divine color. When we are born, the colors of our spirit align with the colors of our physical body a kind of gravity for our spirit, connecting our spirit to our body and connecting our body to the earth.
It is easy to heal with color and Reiki. Anyone can do it. Reiki heals with color automatically. The healing power of color is given to us in our first attunement. More than likely, you have already had similar experiences with Reiki and color.
Our chakras are the physical gateway for the colors of our spirit. Our chakra colors are the same as the colors of the rainbow. Our root chakra is red, the sacral chakra is orange, the solar plexus chakra is yellow, the heart is green, the throat is blue, the third eye is indigo and the crown is violet. When our spirit incarnates into our body, the colors of our spirit enter the physical body through our chakras. Then they align and become in sync with each other.
And life is color and warmth and light And a striving evermore for these. —JULIAN GRENFELL
When our colors are full and aligned, we feel secure, capable, creative, expressive, compassionate, truthful, intuitive, imaginative, inspired, and connected to spirit. It feels as if our actions match our intentions, and that we are fulfilling our spiritual purpose here on earth. Things seem to work out easily, serendipity is present, and we can notice the blessings all around us.
When our colors are out of alignment or depleted, we can feel as if the world is wobbly and not working easily for us we can struggle with creating and manifesting. Sometimes it can be difficult to express ourselves or to know what we want; it can be challenging to feel or we can feel too deeply; our intuition may be blocked or we can feel as if we are “out of our mind.” It can be hard to speak our truth and be heard. When our chakra colors are not aligned, we can feel disconnected from spirit and from the earth, and we often feel as if we are not all the way in our body.”
