Where did Reiki Come From?
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique developed by Mikao Usui in the 1920’s. The word combines rei, meaning universal, and ki, meaning universal life force energy.
Reiki is intended to promote relaxation and encourage the body’s natural healing processes. For me, one of the most meaningful parts of practicing Reiki has always been finding ways to share it beyond an individual session.
My Distant Reiki Crystal Grid is one of the ways I like to share Reiki with others. It is a free gift that is available whenever you would like to join. You do not need to be a Reiki practitioner, understand energy work, or have any previous experience with Reiki.
If you would like to be included, you are welcome here.
So, What Is a Distant Reiki Crystal Grid?
A Reiki crystal grid brings together crystals, geometric patterns, Reiki, and intention in one physical space.
My grid is built on an Antahkarana symbol, a traditional symbol often used in Reiki and meditation practices. Clear quartz crystals are arranged around the grid, with a rose quartz merkaba at its center.
When someone requests Reiki, I write their name on a small piece of paper and place it beneath the center crystal. Their name remains there for thirty days. The grid itself is in my Reiki space, and I charge it every day.
Meet My Reiki Crystal Grid
This is the actual crystal grid I use in my daily Reiki practice. The crystals are quartz, with a rose quartz merkaba in the center that I have had for at least 20 years.
The quartz point at the top right is what I call the master crystal. I use it to charge the grid by tapping the other crystals as I speak my intentions.
A master crystal does not need to have a special story behind it. When my students learn to set up a grid, I encourage them to choose a crystal that feels meaningful and use it intentionally. Mine just happens to have a very personal history.
After a serious spine injury in my late 20’s, I eventually needed several surgeries. Before my first surgery in 2006, I created a healing grid and invited members of my online Reiki community to send Reiki to me during the procedure and recovery.
I charged the crystal grid I made with healing intentions for my recovery. Then I sent one crystal to each friend who participated around the world. I kept one for myself and tied it into my hair to wear during the surgery.
That is the master crystal you see in this picture.
I share this story because Reiki has truly helped me through some very difficult times in my life. Twenty years later, I still have this crystal, and I still use it.
How I Work With my Reiki Crystal Grid
I don’t have a formal script or elaborate ritual that I perform exactly the same way every day. I work with the grid with simple intentions.
I use my master crystal and gently tap the crystals around the grid while focusing on the people whose names are there. As I do, I speak intentions into the grid. They may be as simple as:
“I charge this grid with love.”
“I charge this grid with peace.”
“I charge this grid with Reiki.”
“I charge this grid with positive energy.”
The affirmations can change, but the important part of the practice for me is the intention behind it. The habit of charging my Reiki crystal grid is also an intentional few minutes every day for me to purposely work with Reiki. And as I mentioned, I love being able to share Reiki with others.
I charge the grid once every 24 hours, by tapping the crystals, saying my affirmations and channeling Reiki to the crystal grid. The crystal grid holds the energy and directs it to those with their name on the grid, until the following day when I charge it again.
Who Is the Reiki Grid For?
Reiki really is for anyone who feels drawn to it!
You do not need to know anything about Reiki to ask to be placed on the grid. You are welcome whether you are completely new to Reiki, simply curious about it, going through a difficult time, or just feel drawn to receiving energy support from me. Many Reiki practitioners also join the grid, so please do not feel shy about asking.
You may request Reiki for yourself, your pet, or your child. I also accept requests for other adults, but I ask that you have their permission before submitting their name.
Reiki is always sent with the intention that it be received for the highest good of the person or animal receiving it.
Over the years, some people have come back and told me they noticed a difference while they were on the crystal grid. I would definitely love to hear what your experience is like too!
How the Thirty Days Work
Submit one request for each person or pet that you would like to be placed on the grid. Once I receive the request, I add that person’s name to the grid, where it remains for thirty days.
It is worthwhile to mention: you do not need to do anything special while you are on the Reiki grid. Some people simply go about their days, while others choose to relax or sit quietly for a few minutes every day and call down the Reiki at a specific time. Either way, the Reiki is there for you, whether you call it down or simply keeping yourself open to receiving it.
At the end of the thirty days, the name is removed to make room for new requests. If you would like continued Reiki support, you are always welcome to return and submit another request.
So What Will You Experience?
This is such a good question, and it’s also hard to answer with a blanket statement because there isn’t one particular experience you are supposed to have. Everyone feels Reiki differently, and some people feel nothing at all.
Some people describe feeling calmer, more relaxed, more grounded, or more aware of their emotions. Others notice very little in the moment or experience Reiki much more subtly.
I encourage you not to look for a specific sensation or outcome, because doing so can sometimes cause you to miss the subtle ways Reiki energy is moving.
My intention in offering the grid is simply to create a consistent space in my Reiki practice where I can include people who would like that support.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a free distant Reiki healing grid?
My Free Distant Reiki crystal grid is a simple way for me to share Reiki with you. You only need to request to be placed on the grid to join. Once your name is placed on the grid, you will receive distant Reiki from Starlene for 30 days.
You do not need any Reiki experience to join.
How does the Reiki crystal grid work?
Crystals arranged in geometric patterns are used to hold and amplify intention, and that’s exactly what this grid does. It sits on the Antakarana symbol, a traditional Reiki healing symbol, and I charge it with Reiki daily. Your name on the grid connects you to that steady, consistent flow of energy for the full 30 days. You don’t have to do anything. It works in the background, like a signal that stays on.
What is the Antahkarana symbol, and why is it used?
The Antahkarana is a traditional symbol often used in Reiki and meditation spaces. Many practitioners view it as supportive for focus, flow, and amplification of intention. In this grid, it sits at the center as part of the overall energetic setup.
How can I request to be on the Reiki crystal grid?
Fill out the form below with your request. You can request Reiki for yourself, or for someone else if you have their permission. Once submitted, your name is placed on the grid for 30 days.
If you’re submitting for more than one person, please submit one request per person.
Can I request for someone else to be on the grid?
Yes, as long as you have their consent. If the request is for a child or a pet, you can request Reiki with the intention of “highest good.”
Do I need to do anything to receive Reiki?
No. You can simply go about your day. If you’d like a simple way to receive more consciously, take a quiet moment, breathe, and set an intention like: “I’m open to receiving what supports my highest good.” Hydrating and resting when you can is always helpful.
How long will my name stay on the Reiki crystal grid?
Your name remains on the grid for 30 days. After that, you are welcome to submit a new request if you would like continued support.
What happens after 30 days?
After 30 days, your name is removed from the grid to make space for new requests. If you feel you still need support, simply submit the form again and you’ll be added for a new 30-day cycle.
How often can I request healing?
You can request again whenever you need to, especially after your 30 days has completed. If you are submitting multiple requests for yourself and others, please submit one form per person.
Will my information be kept private?
Yes, absolutely. You can read our Privacy Policy here. Your privacy matters. We do not sell or share your information. If you enter an email, it’s only used for communication related to your request, unless you separately choose to subscribe to my newsletter.

A Note from Starlene
I would be honored to include you on my Reiki Crystal Grid.
Sharing Reiki has been part of my life for a very long time, and I’m glad to be able to offer this freely to anyone who would like to receive it.
When I receive your request, you’ll receive a confirmation letting you know it was received. From time to time, I may also personally reach out with a warm hello or ask how you’re doing. Those are occasional messages from me, not an automated email sequence, and requesting Reiki does not add you to my mailing list.
If you would prefer no contact beyond the confirmation, that’s completely fine. Just let me know.
There are no strings attached to this offering.
Namaste,
Starlene Breiter
