What is a Reiki chi ball?
A Reiki chi ball is a method of sending Reiki attunements and healings when you are not present with the client or student.

How does a chi ball work?
Similar to distant Reiki sessions, you can form the healing or attunement into an energetic ball of Reiki. After doing this you can release the chi ball into the Universe. Your intention is to send it to the recipient for when they call it in.

How do I make a chi ball?
You can make a chi ball by holding your hands a few inches apart from one another, as you do this you can either send Reiki or an attunement into the chi ball. You can draw symbols into the chi ball if doing an attunement that requires symbols. You can also simply channel Reiki into the chi ball allowing energy to accumulate into the space between your hands.

What do I do with the chi ball after I create it?
You can do many things with chi balls after you create them. One way to release the chi ball is open the palms of my hands and blow into them. As you do this, visualize the chi ball leaving your hands and entering into the Universe. Then, affirm (in your thoughts, or verbally) your intention with the chi ball after that, and let it go.

You can set your intention with the chi ball to do many things. You can send an attunement to someone. This method of attuning someone via chi ball is convenient if you are not close to the person that is receiving it.

You can send the chi ball filled with Reiki energy (that is not an attunement) to someone who is in need of Reiki. Simply tell them after you send it, to call it down.

You can also send chi balls to yourself for a future date or time to call down. For instance, if you are facing a stressful moment in the future, you can ask that the chi ball be there for you when you're in that moment. Then, when the moment arrives you can call it down.

How do I call in/down a chi ball?
Calling in a chi ball is super easy! (By the way, when "in" or "down" is used in this article about how to call in or down a chi ball, they mean the same things.) What you do is state to the Universe: I am ready to receive the chi ball from fill in the name of the person sending it to you. Then you simply, relax and enjoy the flow of energy!

What are chi balls good for?
Chi balls are great for people who are not in person with one another. They are also good for those that want to share Reiki or attunements but are unable to coordinate a time to do it together. Chi balls are also wonderful to "bank" for yourself for later. You can even program a chi ball to send Reiki to someone continually for a certain amount of days.. I have sent thousands of chi balls out with many intentions, use your imagination with it and play around with them and see what comes to you.

Is there is a difference between chi balls and a regular distant attunement or distant healing session?

Yes, a chi ball is created at a different time when a regular distant healing or attunement session.

I will email you once you have purchased your session with me to ask if you prefer a chi ball attunement or "real-time". Usually, clients prefer chi ball attunements because they can be done very quickly and called down at the client's leisure. Most of the time, when doing the chi ball method, the client or student calls the chi ball in at a different time. The beauty of the chi ball is that you are not tied to a particular time to receive your attunement or Reiki session, you can wait until the best time for you to call it in when you are most relaxed and ready for it.

Do chi balls work?

Yes! I have had lots of wonderful feedback from clients and student of mine after sending them chi balls. Some people prefer their attunements or Reiki sessions in the form of a chi ball so they can just call it in on their own time. It doesn't matter to me how you prefer your attunement or session as the method of sending a chi ball and doing a distant attunement or Reiki session is the same amount of time and energy so either way works fine for me.

Are Reiki chi balls the same thing as qigong chi balls?
Reiki chi balls are different from qigong chi balls in that qigong chi balls are filled with the practitioners own healing energies and Reiki chi balls are filled with Universal life force (IE Reiki) energy. They're created in a similar fashion but they are not the same.

Is there a certain attunement that helps me learn more about chi balls?
As far as I know at this moment there is not a particular attunement that will help you learn more about Reiki chi balls. I have actually done some research on chi balls online to find some more information about them online and I did not find a lot of information so I decided to write this page to help guide and teach people about them more. There is an attunement called The Orb of Life that is similar to a chi ball in that it teaches you how to create a ball of energy, but it is not exactly a chi ball as you program the Orb of Life differently then you would program a chi ball.
