Resistance to Reiki
Resistance to Reiki
Reiki Newsletter December 2006
QUESTION:
I am enjoying learning Reiki, I really like coming to class and I definitely feel the
benefits when I give myself or my husband a treatment, but I am also feeling an
unexpected resistance like I shouldn't be doing this...has anyone else experienced
this? Is it normal?
ANSWER:
When anyone receive a Reiki attunement, they are usually told about a 21 day Reiki
cleansing process. This is a time of change, detoxification and integration of the
energies. This cleansing process does not just happen when we take Reiki but may
occur during any major shift in our life. An example might be a divorce, we are going
to change and grow in many ways but in order to do that we must let go of the old
and embrace the new. It is the same with Reiki, we must let go of the old mental,
emotional, physical and spiritual stuff we don't need to make room for our new higher
level energy vibration.
Listed below are some things you may experience during a Reiki cleansing process
after each Reiki attunement or Reiki treatment and the remedies for each. If you are
experiencing worrying symptoms please contact your Reiki Master who can be
reassuring.
Note: Not everyone notices symptoms after a treatment or attunement. Reiki works
on all levels: emotional, mental, spiritual and physical, if a physical complaint doesn’t
get better right away, the energy is working on levels other than the physical. If one
finds they are having symptoms a positive attitude toward the change you are going
through will help.
There is no area of life that Reiki will not change and effect. It brings healing as a
result of raising your vibration or energy levels into balance. It will work at healing
relationships, assist bringing goals and desires into manifestation and heal and
balance anything in the past and present.
During the 21 day cleansing process the first cycle of seven days is said to be
focused on personal issues, physical and emotional development. The second week
focuses on relationships, community issues and mental integration. The third week is
centered on spiritual change.
The Cleansing Process:
Physical Purification
Flu-like symptoms may be experienced, minor discomforts include: achy muscles,
fever, headache, sore throat, excessive mucus, coughing, constipation, diarrhea and
other minor symptoms as toxins are released and your body is cleansed and
balanced.
To lessen effects: take long walks in country settings, exercise the entire body mildly
or do yoga, breath clean fresh air and drink lots of pure fresh water. Eat light
nourishing meals, which include fresh fruit, vegetables and juices. Try to stay away
from caffeine, nicotine.
Emotional Purification
Deeply held emotions may surface for no apparent reason: anger, frustration, grief,
fear sadness and others. These emotions have been repressed or suppressed from
earlier times, this life and past, they are being released. Do not allow yourself to
become emotionally effected by what you experience. Do not place blame on anyone
or anything for these feelings. Just experience them as they surface and let them go.
To lesson effects: meditate, breathing in and out gently. Take a long hot bath in
Epsom salt and sea salt. Soak about 1/2 hr. This will relax you.
Mental Purification
Old thought forms, behavior patterns and habits may come to the surface. Addictive
desires for food, beverage, nicotine, caffeine, alcohol etc. may increase or resurface.
Thoughts of judgment, blame, victimization, abuse, denial, self-destruction, self-pity
etc may happen. These issues are being healed on every level of your being, from
this lifetime and others. Do not be hard on yourself or allow these impulses and
thoughts to get the better of you. Acknowledge them; let them go, then change
your thoughts willfully to those of a more positive nature.
To lessen the effects: Be kind to yourself, do things that make you feel good, repeat
positive affirmations, mantras, and listening to your favorite music eases the intensity
of the potentially negative effects of the thoughts.
Spiritual Purification
Your beliefs may be shaken and challenged, beliefs in how the world operates, how
relationships should be, religion, what is important to your life. As this occurs,
insights, revelations and new understanding will become clear; these will be the
building blocks of your newly forming and ever changing spiritual foundation.
To lessen the effects: Talk to like minded people about your experiences, read
uplifting spiritual books, listen to motivational tapes and treat yourself with love and
kindness. You are gaining new levels of understanding. Know that all is well and this
process is perfectly normal. Be at peace. Let go and let God move through you.
