Not Taking on the Complaints of Your Client
Hi, I’m Judith of Chikara-Reiki-Do and I’m answering your questions on Reiki.
So, question:
I have just done my first Reiki healing for a friend, who’s very negative with problems and neck and back pain.
Afterwards she was feeling great, when I spoke to her a few days later.
But I was feeling terrible!
Very down and irritable. It took me a few days to see what had happened to me. I assume I took her problems on board. If this is the case, how do I stop myself from doing this?
Answer:
Stay aware.
You’re able to give healing to your husband and not pick up the negative feelings from him…
But you still can sense his discomfort or mood, good or bad.
Yet you are aware that what you sense is his and not yours…
Mental Strength Through Reiki
Hi, I’m Judith of Chikara-Reiki-Do, and I’m answering your questions on Reiki.
So, question.
How can I make myself stronger mentally? I need to let go of certain issues and move on.
I do my Reiki every day and sometimes more than once a day, if I need to help someone else.
I find Reiki so healing and comforting.
Answer:
When you are emotionally attached to issues, then they can be hard to release.
Sometimes you fear letting go, because that will be the end of it.
And perhaps you’re not truly ready to move on.
What benefits do you still gain by hanging on to your issues?
If you let them go, what would you like to replace them?…
Judith’s Views on Reiki & Religion
Hi, I’m Judith Conroy of Chikara-Reiki-Do and I’m answering your questions on Reiki.
So, question:
The bishops said that Catholics should stop practicing Reiki because it is both unscientific and non-Christian. What do you think?
Answer:
Well, here’s my opinion on the subject and it’s just a plain and simple… So what?
To me, the Bishop’s opinion, just amounts to more control.
Someone else telling you, you can’t do what you already know, you can do, scientific or not.
How stupid is that?
And if the church is trying to control their flock, by denying them the freedom of expression of one of the most basic of human abilities…
…then it would appear their motives are almost certainly…
How to Explain How Healing Works..?
Hi, I’m Judith Conroy of Chikara-Reiki-Do and I’m answering your questions on Reiki.
So, question:
I know how healing can work, but it can be hard to explain it to someone that thinks I’m a joke.
Can you help?
Answer:
Personally, I do not now waste my time or breath, trying to explain or convince anyone of anything.
Especially when they are neither interested, nor care.
I have more respect for myself than that.
You see, we are all perfectly within our rights to think and feel what we like…
How Long Should Reiki Hand Positions be Held?
Hi, I’m Judith from Chikara-Reiki-Do, and I’m answering your questions on Reiki.
So, question:
When I use Reiki on my patients, how long should I hold the hand positions?
Also, does it hurt to do the attunement more than once?
Answer:
Trust your intuition – but as a general guide, in the beginning, place your hands in each of the 12 hand positions for about three to five minutes per position.
This will also give you a rough idea of how long your Reiki session will take.
But do listen to your hands and let them move when they want to.
If you do one minute here and six minutes there, that is fine as well…
