What is a Peace Garden?
By Tysha Tinney
A Peace Garden is a place where you can focus your energy to send love and light. I first started doing this in 2008 and posted videos as I worked in the garden. People started requesting rocks for people they love. I infused it with love and Reiki Energy. Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “Universal Life-Force-Energy” and is a System for Channeling that same energy to someone else for healing.
The Peace Garden serves as a sacred space to be to receive and send love, light and healing Reiki energy. You don’t need to be a Reiki Master to send your love and energy to everyone in your Peace Garden. You’ll find everything you need to know to get started below.

History of The Peace Garden
Chris and I started the first Peace Garden in 2008. We were traveling in our RV visiting communities and inviting people in those communities to join us in sharing food and spending time with the homeless in their community.
We met some great people and wanted to stay connected with them after we left town. That’s when we began painting rocks with our friend’s names on it and placing them in our Peace Garden. Everywhere we went we started more Gardens, and we still get pictures of people working in those same gardens today.
Creating a Peace Garden
Creating a Peace Garden
- The first step in creating a Peace Garden is to find a Sacred place in your home, office, or outside. You will be creating a vortex of love, peace, and healing, so it’s important to clear the energy. You can use sage, crystals, energy/Reiki, music/sound, intention or any other clearing tool, to cleanse the space for your garden.
- The next step is to condition your new space by using the Reiki Symbols and other Sacred Symbols. For example, if you are creating a Garden outside, choose how large it will be and draw the Sacred Symbols in that space. You are infusing that area with and love and light. If your working with Soil or flowers, infuse them with Reiki or loving energy.
- Once Space is set up, you can begin adding Special/Sacred items in your Garden. We use lots of Crystals and statues in our Garden. We play Sacred Reiki Music in our Garden. You can add. Plants, flowers, poems, angels, prayers, or anything that has special meaning to you. The idea is you are creating a place Where you can sit and connect with your spiritual side and everything that makes you feel relaxed and at Peace.
- Using water is powerful. If you like, you can add an indoor or outdoor waterfall for added serenity.
Preparing the Rocks…
- Now that your Sacred Space is set up you are ready to add. The Peace Rocks. Find the Rocks you will be using; you can find a big bag of River rocks in all different sizes at most hardware supply stores I like to go out in nature and find the ones that feel best.
- Once you have your Rocks, start out by washing them, Next Sage them. Then you can add different essential Oils if you would like. Essential Oils help raise the Vibration of your garden.
- The next step is to Infuse the Rocks with Reiki Energy and positive vibrations. =)
- Fabulous, now your Rocks are ready, and your Garden is ready.
Adding Names
- The idea of the Reiki Peace Garden is to have a place to come, meditate, let go, and send Energy to the people that have asked for healing and your loved ones. With Reiki, we use the Distant Reiki Symbol to send energy. This is a big part of Reiki and helps strengthen your own Reiki. By sending Reiki to those we love, we also receive the beauty of the energy.
- Your Reiki Garden will be a place to Connect with the energy and give…as well as Receive the energy.
- Your Reiki Garden can be as small or large, or you’d like, and it can start out small and continue to grow and grow.
- Get your Paints ready. Acrylic paint and Fabric Paint works great because if you are making an outdoor Garden, the paint will hold up in the Rain and snow. Infuse the Paint with Reiki.
- The next step is creating the First Rock in the Garden. Start with Your self. Each Rock will hold different energy and be unique because you will be tuning in to each person as you make their Rock.
- Now it’s time to add people you love to your garden or people that have asked for a rock. Once you have some people you want in your Garden, write their Names down in a sacred Journal, which you can also use as a Reiki Prayer book to send Reiki. Next start on making their Reiki Rock.
- Tune into the person as you are creating it, adding more love and Reiki to the Rock.
- Once the Rock is dry, it’s ready to be placed in your Sacred Garden.
Sending Love and Light to the Garden
- You now have a Sacred Space to Send and Receive Reiki.
- You can spend time Nurturing your Garden and sending Reiki Energy to everyone in your Garden.
- When you are away from your Garden, you can send positive energy by visualizing the Garden, seeing the Vortex you created and sending the energy down into the Garden. Seeing that energy go to everyone in the Garden for their Highest use and good.
