Reiki To Spare And Share

Good mornin’ all…

And a pretty damp one it is too. It’s the 6 Nations Rugby Tournament this weekend…

…so, for me anyway, the rain is just to complete the scene

But on the brighter side we have a surprise visit from Christian. Both Chris and Chris will be glued to the TV and I shall stay in the kitchen… ha ha ha!

It’s a ‘pie and chips followed by cake’ sort of a weekend

Now you’re talking my kind of language…ha ha ha!

So before I set up camp in the kitchen I had better answer a question…

The question…

Q… Last night I was reading a book about hands on healing and it was mentioned that we need to be in good condition, energetically, in order not to be drained when we give healing…

You also mentioned something like that in a previous Sunday Reiki Chat. Not to be like the battery of a torch when we give to people.

I am about to start giving Reiki in my home, on a more regular basis, to the public, on top of my normal day job. I’m wondering about this point.

I thought in giving Reiki, it is different, as we channelled this UNIVERSAL LIFE FORCE ENERGY.

And in giving it, you also get energised as well, as it goes through you.

I have never felt drained in giving it but I have only given to my family members and friends.

And my answer

A… This is true – you are channelling universal life force energy, but…

…it’s no good feeling tired and needy yourself and then trying to share…any energy with another person.

Yes, the Reiki energy will continue to flow through you and yes, it will help energise you too, but you may simply feel more tired and needy afterwards

But as long as you keep yourself topped up with Reiki energy you will be fine.

So regardless of how selfish it sounds, YOU must come first.

Yes, you can give energy when in need yourself but on one level you may resent it.

Yes, it will work and no you won’t do anyone any harm. You may simply drain yourself eventually.

If you are feeling happy and content with yourself, then you have more energy to spare and share, as a general guide.

If you are happy doing what you are doing, then you have energy to spare and share.

And, once you start giving Reiki on a regular basis, you will ‘know’ how much energy you have to spare.

So, I would definitely suggest starting off with a quick self treatment before your evening client arrives.

Think of it like exercise…

…if you love dancing, then after a full day’s work you will love to bounce about all night but if you hate the gym then you’ll more than likely feel tired before you even go… ha ha ha!

Remember… YOU are this Universal Life Force energy and there’s so much of it, it’s why we call it universal!

As I am always saying – there is only the One Energy, you are it and it is you.

Chanel it, allow it, play with it and yes, even direct it – for even though we call it Reiki, with an intelligence of its own, it is still the sum total of you too.

Happiness and laughter make you ‘overflow’ with ‘energy’ more easily in everything you do.

Just be happy and your life will ‘overflow’ perfectly

Think of giving Reiki as like learning to drive a car.

And, just as beginning to drive – Reiki, at first, may feel cumbersome and awkward – we have to think about where we put our hands next and how long we should leave them there and if the music is too loud and the room too warm and the chair might squeak…

All this mental activity drains us at first but as we get more confident and centred, we begin to relax and enjoy what we do so again…

The happier and more relaxed you are, the better your Reiki flows, naturally – because you get out of the way.

Then you will really feel the energising effect of giving Reiki and apparently getting it yourself

And looking at it like this may help:

Think of yourself, in the beginning at least, as being like a 20 watt bulb for instance…

…Reiki flows through you and you glow, but dimly.

And, as you increase your ability to channel more energy, through constant practice, you may begin turning into the equivalent of a 100 watt bulb.

The Reiki energy remained the same, but YOU glowed much more brightly

So, don’t even think you will be drained. It’s not a problem for you, as you’ve already experienced – don’t make it one.

Instead look forward to shining ever so brightly

Bloomin’ marvellous…

Until next week…
