This healing life force is drawn from universal energy, the Divine light of creative vibration that binds all life and gives the energy for all things to grow and evolve. The healer effectively channels this energy through his body, his hands and then into the recipient, or client.
If you are thinking about taking a Reiki healing session, there are a few tips that will aid the process of healing for you so that you can get the most out of the treatment:
Be open – relax and trust in the healer. Try to imagine healing light entering your body and healing you all over.
Be connected to the earth – you will probably be lying down while you receive Reiki so focus on your connection to the earth; this will help keep you grounded so that you don’t get too high and float off!
Be aware of letting go – past memories may arise in your mind. If they do, just remain aware – acknowledge them and let them go. Let these feelings be replaced by the positive feeling that you are sensing from the healing experience you are having.
Let go of negative energies – you may sense negative energies or strange feelings in your body. Just imagine all these energies dissipating out of your body through the floor and into the earth.
Be kind to yourself – remember you are a child of the earth and healing processes can take time for you to fully get the benefit. Take it easy for the next few days and especially directly after the healing session; drink hydrating fluids such as soothing herbal teas and don’t do anything extreme such as strenuous exercise. Avoid stressful situations if possible.
Complementary therapy should be a gentle process of healing, but it is not always the case. Sometimes healing can be hard, so take life easy after an intense session for your best chance of improving your wellness. You can rest assured that you will be part of the universal process of transformation and every little bit that helps you has a knock-on effect on those around you as well as the universe as a whole.
