Understanding Energy Sensations
Understanding Energy Sensations
Reiki Newsletter April 2007
Understanding Energy Sensations:
As we are continue to work with Reiki, whether in self-treatment sessions or with
others, we may experience a variety of sensations. Each situation and experience is
unique. Each situation will hold it own message, awaiting interpretation from the
recipient. The underlying message may hold deep meaning, signaling a readiness for
release. At other times, it may be something very superficial and surface related,
without binding ties to the past. Our ability to understand is critical, and it is why I
refer to Reiki as the process of self discovery.
This understanding really can only come through personal experience. I can share
what I have learned or come to understand from my vantage point, but it only
becomes really meaningful, when you are working through and tackling your own
encounters.
Below are some of the possible experiences and/or sensations, along with some very
general interpretations. Remember this is your journey, and as long as you are
holding the map, you are in the best position to comprehend the language of your
travels.
Coldness: There is an energy blockage or a hole in the aura. There could be a
negative thought form there, or a physical problem in the area.
Cold Winds Leaving: A negative thought form is leaving the aura.
Ache or Pain: Generally there is a physical problem in the area creating build-up of
energy which the Reiki is helping to release. Scan to see if there is a hole in the aura
as well, and deal with this first.
Dip in Energy: Sometimes you can feel the edge of the aura and suddenly the edge
dips closer to the physical body. This shows a lack of energy in this area and that
there is something causing an imbalance there. Give Reiki to the area.
Hole in the Aura: While tracing the edge of the aura it suddenly seems to
disappear. If you find a lot of holes or very large ones, the person is very depleted
and requires a lot of healing as well as lifestyle changes. They may have an
addiction, eating disorder or psychiatric problem.
Cord: You may sense a cord in the aura. One way of sensing this is if the aura
thickens into a rope-like shape. Cords are like leashes of energy, attaching the
person to someone. Energy drains out from them and negative energy can flow in.
Tingling in Hands: If a place is especially tingly in your hands, healing is needed
there, and there could be an inflammation or pain at the site.
Heat in Hands: Healing energy is needed at this site. Some healers always
experience heat or tingling so you need to see whether it is more than usual.
Energy Being Sucked as if Magnetically: If you sense that energy is being pulled,
as if magnetically, from your hands, or there is an irresistible pull to an area of the
body, then healing is needed there.
Hands Being Pushed Away: This is a definite pushing away. There is an energy
blockage in the area, which is resisting being worked on. Try working on the area
later, or ask the recipient to tune into it and consciously ask the blockage to leave.
Energy Flowing From Hands: This shows the Reiki is flowing nicely, and indicates
that the recipient is open and receptive to it.
Perspiring: You may start to perspire which shows that a lot of Reiki is coming
through you and also that it is releasing your own blockages.
Feeling Ecstatic or Going Into Trance: Giving as well as receiving Reiki can be
very pleasurable and spiritually uplifting. It can feel like a deep meditation or relaxed
trance. You may also see colors, visions etc. Enjoy it, but remain aware and
grounded.
Feeling Ill: Occasionally you may find that you feel ill while working on someone. It is
possible that you have picked up on an imbalance in them, or perhaps the Reiki
flowing through you has shifted your energies so that you are temporarily out of
balance. Generally it is fine to continue if you feel sufficiently grounded and OK. The
feeling will probably pass very quickly, showing that something unpleasant has shifted
thanks to the Reiki. If you feel you need to stop the session early, work on the
recipient's feet to ground them and finish off.
Seeing Something Shadowy: Usually this is seen with the peripheral vision. It is an
energy form releasing from the recipient. Imagine white and gold light surrounding it
coming down from above and silently ask your Guide, Angel or a higher being to
release it to the light. Silently reassure the energy form that it is ok to go into the light.
If there is a lot of resistance, ask your higher being to help it into the earth.
Seeing Light or Colors: Golden and white light around is a light being such as an
angel helping the healing. Other bright, vivid colors are other light beings perhaps
devas, they may be helping or simply curious. If you feel you're being helped, silently
thank them. Otherwise just silently greet them and carry on. If the colors are dirty or
dark see the above paragraph.
PRACTICE:
As you engage in Reiki sessions during the month, begin to pay closer attention to
what sensations you may be experiencing. After the session, write down in as much
detail, what you can recall happening. Then try to determine the underlying meaning.
Refer to the above information as a guide to possibilities, not as a definitive source
of information. If working with another, go through the above process with the
recipient. You may wish to ask some open-ended, thought provoking questions that
will help them figure out a deeper meaning, if one exists.
The more you perform Reiki with the intention of learning about yourself as you give
a self-treatment, the more expanded and spiritually aware you become of yourself in
a multi-dimensional way.
