It started as a joke. My best friend Clara and I were sitting on the couch, scrolling through endless social media posts about manifestation, vision boards, and “winning the lottery through energy work.” Clara, ever the skeptic, raised an eyebrow. “Why not just use Reiki to win the lottery? You’re always talking about energy and intention.”
At first, I laughed. But later that night, with the house quiet and the air heavy with the scent of my lavender candle, the idea took root. Could Reiki—a healing practice designed to channel universal energy—actually help manifest abundance? Not just metaphorical abundance, but the real deal: cash, money, prosperity.
The Ritual Begins
I decided to treat the idea seriously, combining my knowledge of Reiki with a little bit of magical flair. Here’s what I did:
Step 1: Setting the Space
I cleared my living room, lighting sage to cleanse the air and inviting positive energy into the space. I placed a green candle (symbolizing abundance) on my altar, along with a piece of citrine, known as the “merchant’s stone.” My lottery ticket sat in the center, carefully placed on a piece of parchment where I’d written my intention:
“I invite financial abundance into my life, aligning with the highest good of all.”
Step 2: Reiki Activation
I began my Reiki session by grounding myself, placing my hands over my heart, and connecting with the flow of universal energy. As I moved through the hand positions, I visualized golden light flowing through me, filling the room, and wrapping around the ticket like a protective bubble.
I used Reiki symbols for the first time in a ritual. The Cho Ku Rei symbol (for power) felt especially potent, like a lightning bolt amplifying my intention.
Step 3: Visualization
This was the fun part. I closed my eyes and imagined holding a winning ticket, feeling the excitement and relief wash over me. In my mind’s eye, I saw the numbers aligning on the screen, the confetti falling, the possibilities unfolding.
Step 4: Releasing the Energy
Finally, I thanked the universe and released my attachment to the outcome. (This is key—clinging too tightly to an intention can block its manifestation.) I let the candle burn down, and as the wax pooled, I felt a strange mix of peace and anticipation.
What Happened Next
Here’s where things got interesting. I didn’t win the jackpot—no private jets or island vacations—but I did win $500. More importantly, the energy around me shifted. Within a week, unexpected opportunities started popping up: a freelance writing gig, a refund I wasn’t expecting, even Clara offering to pay me back for a lunch I’d forgotten about.
It wasn’t about the money itself. It was about the flow. Reiki didn’t just bless the lottery ticket; it opened a channel for abundance to find me in ways I hadn’t anticipated.
Explaining the Experience: A Witchy Perspective
Here’s how I’ve come to understand it:
- Reiki as an Amplifier
Reiki doesn’t create something out of nothing—it aligns your energy with your intentions. By using Reiki, I wasn’t “forcing” abundance; I was becoming a magnet for it. - Symbols as Energy Keys
The Cho Ku Rei symbol acted like a key, unlocking the energy of abundance and amplifying my intention. Symbols are ancient tools, and their power lies in their ability to focus and direct energy. - Letting Go of Attachment
In witchcraft, as in Reiki, releasing attachment to the outcome is crucial. When you let go, you allow the universe to work its magic without interference from your doubts or fears. - Manifestation Through Alignment
The $500 wasn’t the goal—it was a sign that my energy was aligned. True abundance isn’t always about cash; it’s about feeling supported, connected, and open to life’s flow.

Final Thoughts
Reiki lottery blessings aren’t about guaranteed riches—they’re about aligning with the energy of abundance and opening yourself to possibilities. Whether it’s $500, a new job opportunity, or even just a shift in mindset, the magic lies in the flow.
So light that candle, grab your ticket, and trust that the universe is always conspiring in your favor. And hey, if you win big, don’t forget to spread a little of that magic around.
