I am somewhat new too Reiki as I have only 2 years expirince and was taught Native American healing and laying of the hands as well first. In the time of my earlier training I had been told :
1. Listen to your intuition
(listen to your intuition)
Trust in your healing to guide you to what is right.Â
I had the expirience of using a piece of oak as a wand to heal a man whos totem spirit sat on the branch of an oak tree. He said afterward he felt more connected to his true self, his spirit self. I use various crystals as a wand for self healing, for different pains and aches.
I suggest you begin by cleansing the wand in the moonlight with black sand if available to you, if not salt and water, sage or whatever herbs you feel are sacred to you for cleansing.
Once the wand has been cleansed, pray with it, honor the wand for it's purpose in life and ask the wand to allow you to place Reiki energy in it.
Once you have done that place the wand in the sunlight in a space that is white, allow the wand to rest for as long as your intuition tells you is appropriate. Then I would initiate the wand by using it in a self healing.
Please share how you have used it. If you choose to use any of my offerings please share the expirience.
Blessings in light.
