Reiki’s been a big deal again, lately.
I got to a share a week and a half ago and the whole thing seems to be back with a vengeance. At the share, it seems I had tonnes of great energy. Since then, aside from the usual toddler bumps and bruises and the arthritic cat, I’ve worked with three different people with three very different, emergent needs over the past week. And, to hear them talk after, they were all very positively affected.
The first was able to ground and centre herself after a few very rough days during which a shortage of supplements and an excess of unfortunate circumstances propelled her far away from herself. She’s very sensitive to others’ energies to begin with, so I’m not too surprised that she took well to reiki, but I am surprised that it seemed to help as well as it did, in light of where she was coming from. The energy was being pulled from me before I even started. I essentially had to tell her she was going to get a treatment and begin because, really, it had already begun. My hands were hot and full of pins and needles. Even my feet were tingling. She felt a great deal of heat, some pressure and a strong sense of sinking right into the floor.
The second received a little temporary relief from a frozen shoulder and slept better than he had in a long time. He went into a meditative state or trance (he calls it power napping) as he often does and, though he often finds himself travelling through air or sea, he made a trip that he’s never made before – as fog, down a local river. I also ended up in a meditative state this time – taking cues, perhaps? – and saw various flashes of wagon wheels and spokes. I have no meaning for this yet, but am filing it away for future reference…! I felt mild tingling and heat, and accurately located the problem spot in the correct shoulder. He felt very relaxed afterward.
The third was having chronic jaw problems. I concentrated entirely on her head and jaw, but ended with her feet to make sure she stayed grounded. While my sense of the energy wasn’t nearly as strong as it was for the other two, her reaction to it was the strongest (I’m going to try and confirm this through a legitimate third party – sisters are great sources!). She felt her own pins and needs all through out her body and, at one point, felt as though liquid were coming from one of her ears on the side that causes her the most trouble with her jaw. I think I felt a blockage give way on that same side.
I’m not sure what’s up with all this tingling. Perhaps that little attunement at the share opened up a whole new access for me or perhaps I’m better able to work with the energies after a few acupuncture treatments and continued attempts to get my liver back in shape. Whatever it is, something has shifted and I’m good with it.
And I’m eyeing a portable massage table…
