Reiki, huh?

[Malibu Ken - SILF]

I was giving a massage to an energy worker. She said "oh, you know Reiki." I said, "No, I don't." She said "well, you're doing it."I went to a Reiki practioner. I felt nothing.Any ideas why ???

Reiki, huh?

The force is strong with this one.(okay, I'm sorry, I just had to.)

Reiki, huh?

You probably have a lot of energy flowing (just like Seforum.xxxg said! ) and she could feel it flowing through you into herself. YOU may not sense it, but it's there!

Many people cannot feel Reiki themselves. My master has never been able to feel anything from the Reiki. Not receiving attunements, giving them, or receiving energy. He even states he was the biggest skeptic! However he sees the results, and believes.  ;DSome people are just more sensitive than others. You may have a natural healing talent.

Your Master! has never been able to feel anything!Wow, that's incredible and makes me feel better. I thought maybe something was wrong with me (blocked or non-receptive?).

I always feel reiki better on others than I do on myself. I can barely feel it on myself, except as an echo of another person's energy. I also have a hard time doing reiki on close family members.  I think we are just so used to certain freiquencies that it becomes hard to distinguish them.  But I also always wonder,  How does one know what to do to guide and balance energy if you can't feel it?  I confess I loose patience if I try to reiki someone and I don't feel anything. It makes me think that it just isn't ready to happen, and I should move on.

I had a WONDERFUL Reiki teacher/master who taught us not to try to "guide" Reiki, and not to have any specific outcomes. Of course we're hoping the Reiki will help someone to heal or feel better.  But we're to trust the higher good, accept whatever the outcome is, and not to make any promises to our clients. Many times my clients have reported immediate positive results. Other times they have reported feeling extra relaxed, but didn't notice immediate pain relief. Some have reported feeling strong "healing" energy coming through my hands and into their body. Because of the way I was taught, I don't worry about the results when I offer Reiki. I enjoy using it, and accept and appreciate the positive experiences as they come.

ROFL @ Seforum.xxxg's comment.Actually, I had an accupuncturist and tui na practitioner tell me that I really "moved the energy around." Which I thought was odd because I've really had very little interest in energy work. You know jdcan, I'm not into Reiki, or really a lot of the new age stuff that many MTs are.  When I was in MT school I had a weekend intensive of Zen Shiatsu which I enjoyed, and that's about as close to energy work as I ever got. So, I thought it was odd that she would say that I really moved the energy around. I mentioned my lack of formal energy work training, and she suggested as others have here, that "you probably just do it naturally."*Chuckles softly* Maybe Seforum.xxxg was on to something?

My understanding and experience of it is that the receiver "draws" the energy, the attuned Reiki practitioner has very little to do with any sort of actual "transmission".  The client can take what they need and are able to handle from the Reiki (or whatever energy system, formal or informal) offered by the practitioner.I like this angle even better, it gives more autonomy to the client!Jill

I have been attuned for Reiki for several years now and can only recall one time that I could feel something.  Just last week I was massaging a client who had a hearing aid.  Once my hands reached his neck area the hearing aid started screaming and would not stop unless I moved my hands away from his ear.  I thought that was pretty cool.  Another time while giving reiki to a horse that had just been stung by wasps, my right eye became red and swollen.  It was the same eye that was swollen on the horse.
