Energy work???

[WIL]

Hi, I haven't posted in a while but I was really hoping that some more experienced bodyworkers or even students could help me out. We started acupressure this quarter and while I love the work I am having some unwanted side effects from it. Everytime that I give energy work I become very nauseated and my heart starts racing so fast that I feel that I might faint. I always push through this but in the end I feel so drained and sick that I have to go home and go to bed. I'm assuming that my problem is that I'm not grounding myself and pushing out all of the negative energy that I am taking in from my client. I keep trying to find ways to help with this but so far I have been unsuccessful.

I absolutely love energy work and want to find a way to do this without all of the unwanted side effects, because I know if this continues into my practice then I will not be able to do very many sessions if any at all on my own.

If anyone has any ideas please share them with me because I feel that energy work is a very special and wonderful modality that I want to be a part of. Thank you so much for reading this.

In school I was taught to visualize a glass wall. You could see and hear everything from the client, but all negative energy would bounce off and disappear.

Hi Natisha,

Your aren't the first (or last) student to have this problem. Thankfully, there are solutions! Here are three other forum threads full of good ideas:
