Reiki healers,I have just recieve my first & second degree attunements,do you have any advice? for a beginner

Question

Just wondering what other healers wanted to say to a new fellow healer.

Answer 1

That, I believe, calls for a rousing HUZZAH from all us peasants.

However, as a mere peasant, I am too lowly to offer any advice.

(HIPx2 + HUZZAH) x 3.

Answer 2

You will  go through a twenty one day cycle clear out. This will happen twice since you've been initiated twice.So this means 6 weeks of a clear out.Keep a note book of all that comes up for u! Practice your Reiki daily even on your pets,plants or family. Just go with the flow.

Answer 3

There are alot of lessons to be learned. The most important one is to learn to be unattached to the flow and results of a Reiki treatment.

Probably the #1 mistake of new practitioners is that they push ALOT of their own energies into a treatment in their zeal to do it well. Consequently they end up feeling very tired, and can often fall ill frequently from colds and coughs.

I suggest that Reiki practitioner take up some kind of mindfulness meditation training as an adjunct to their healing. http://www.wildmind.org/mindfulness is one of the best places to start (it has great articles and instructions on some basic practices you can get started with, and also includes free streaming guided meditations to help you learn the techniques). Mindfulness teaches you how to keep your attention in the moment, without getting caught up in your thoughts. Should thoughts, or other input arise, you learn to simply observe it, rather than react or involve yourself in it. This is the IDEAL mind set to have during a treatment.

I keep a blog with in-depth articles about various aspects of Reiki practice. Many of my articles focus on aspects of the practice that I feel are grossly misunderstood, or simply not addressed properly in many classes - but that are important to be aware of if one wants to develop as a healer.

Feel free to check it out http://reikisynergy.blogspot.com. There's actually a long article in there about mindfulness and reiki, just check in the archives for last month.

Blessings on your path.

"Trust Reiki" - you are the channel, Reiki does the work.

I have only had the Level I attunements for animal Reiki.  I feel I had a "break through" last Friday - channeling for a sick kitten who was not eating and in pain from a congenital eye condition where the eyelashes grow into the eye.  After one half-hour session she opened both her eyes and starting eating food on her own.  I also did one half-hour with a badly injured wild bird (one leg basically destroyed).  The bird came to the front of his cage during the channeling and later went quietly to the back of the cage to rest.  The bird was euthanized at the end of the day.  Reiki helped with his pain and distress and eased his passage to the spirit world.

I LOVE my Reiki Cd's.  I do Tenihira every night and take "Reiki Ho" to the shelter with me and use it on a portable player.  It helps me shut out the "chatter" of shelter activity and concentrate on the energy transmission.
