Reiki Dangers - Part 3

Reiki, first and foremost, is safe. The person receiving a treatment is the one who regulates the flow of Reiki. It goes where it is needed, not by some magical intelligence but because there is a need.

Life is constantly striving for balance. This is why you should not try to force a treatment, to make it happen. All we do is facilitate the healing situation. It is when we try to control, to make things happen, to be powerful, that things can go wrong. Believe me, they can and anyone who has worked with Reiki a great deal will have come across those whose life has not been improved by this wonderful practice.

There are three basic energy sources that we as physical beings use.

First, there is the energy we are born with. This energy is finite and it is used up during our lives. It depletes slowly but there is more than enough to last a life time. We can deplete it faster, but we can't add to it.

Secondly there is the energy we get from food and drink. The energy we get from these is obvious...don't eat or drink and you die. "Simples".

Thirdly there is a rather mystical energy which we get from .... we just seem to get it from the ether. It flows through us and is rather elusive to quantify but evidently it makes up that bit we need but don't get from food and drink.

I am not going into the details of the last two because they are: on the one hand, as I have said before,obvious and, on the other, I know only that what I know!! And that is not enough to expound upon. It is the first I would like to talk about.

When we give a Reiki treatment we allow the Reiki to be drawn through us, we do not give it.

The attunements free this flow and allow us to recognise it. If we try to force the situation we are in very real danger of using our core energy. Do it enough and you weaken yourself. If we allow Reiki to flow through us we pass on a pure energy without our hang-ups and what ever; we cannot pick up the other person's problems and troubles. Use your own energy and there is free flow between persons with no safety. Who benefits from that?

If you don't believe me, we have all had friends who come around to our homes with a problem, when they leave they say "I always feel so much better when I speak to you " and off they bounce. You, on the other hand, are knackered, drained. Know what I mean? Well, now you have Reiki let them take that. The source is inexhaustible.

Be aware of this and all is fine. There is nothing that will happen overnight. But do you really want to lay your trips on someone else? Or take on theirs?
