Sensations of heat in your hands
When you begin a Reiki healing, you will notice certain sensations in your hands. There are several explanations for this. If you notice a warmth flowing through your hands and into your patient with a healing, this usually indicates that they have some sort of physical problem. For example, you may have your hands on their back and you experience the warmth flowing through your hands and into them. This tells you that they have back injuries, such as a pulled muscle or scoliosis or just general back problems. The heat alerts you that they are responding to the healing. This is a good sign. Heat represents a strong healing is taking place.
Sensations of coldness in your hands.
If you notice that your hands are cold when you are doing a healing on an area of a patient’s body, you are being alerted that an area has had damage but has been healed at some stage. What you are picking up is scar tissue - even though the area may be healed, it is left with some scarring, internally as well as externally on the body. Leave your hands on the area until you feel warmth or just a flowing of energy, as Reiki will heal the scaring. Thus the area will be totally healed and you will remove the memory of the injury from inside of the body. You may also find that the area is also very blocked and that there is no life force energy running through to the area. They may have bad circulation problems. You need to spend a lot of time on the area to bring it back to life again and flowing with energy.
Definition of scarring in Reiki terms.
I want to make a point of discussing the meaning of scarring in relation to working with Reiki. Scarring in reference to a healing means an area has been damaged by injury or illness. Even though the area has healed, it leaves an imprint on the body, thus keeping a memory or record of the old injury or illness. This is not a serious problem but it can make the area weak and vulnerable to other infections and injuries. By Reiking the area you can remove this vulnerability and make sure that the area is strong and aligned with the rest of the body.
Normal reference of scarring in layman's terms.
When someone has scarring from burns or stitches you can also help the scar tissue to heal much quickly than normally and decrease the risk of infection. However, never tell a patient that you can remove the external scar completely because it is up to the individual’s healing capacity to be able to do this. Do not give false expectations, but if you do manage to help remove the scarring then it will be because you have worked with the patient and their will to be healed with Reiki.
Working with Advanced Reiki and the feeling sensations.
When you are doing a mental healing with Advanced Reiki, and you experience the above sensations of warmth and coldness, I want you to be aware that the situation may be on an emotional level rather than a physical level. You can achieve the same success with Reiki in removing deep painful memories and emotional issues from the person on a mental level as you would on a physical level.
Sensations of buzzing and popping in your hands
These sensations indicate that the patient’s energy centres or Chakras, as alternative healers call them, could be out of alignment or shut down. Their may also be a build up of negative energy in the person’s body and you may feel like flicking and removing the energy out of their aura until the sensations have left your hands. Although sometimes you may not feel these sensations do not be alarmed because in my experience with Reiki, when you give a healing you automatically align the Chakras anyway.
Why can I not feel any sensations through my hands?
Do not be alarmed if you do not experience any sensations in your hands when you are doing a Reiki. As with all procedures it can take time and practise before you learn to distinguish any sensations flowing through your hands. Once you are attuned to Reiki it never leaves you and it never shuts down. Reiki is like an oil heater, with some people it needs to warm up with every Reiki healing they do. The more you give Reiki the stronger it becomes. It is essential to allow the Reiki to flow regularly, that is why you should give yourself a self-treatment every day if possible. Sometimes people who have been very sick and ill may find that their Reiki energy does not seem to work well when they do a healing on others. You may feel that your hands are cold and that they are not sending any energy out to others. This is because the Reiki is concentrating on you personally. If you are sick, the Reiki will go to you and meet your needs first before it will go to others. If you have this reaction you are being told to spend some time working on healing yourself. After awhile you will feel more energy and share it with others.
Why do some people reject Reiki?
Fear can block you from being open to the Reiki energy. Some people are afraid of believing in something that is different from what they are used to. This does not matter, you do not have to believe in Reiki for it to work. I have seen people who are very wary and non-believing of the power of Reiki, come in, have a healing and walk out refreshed and feeling good. Afterwards these people have gone on to do their Reiki First and Second Degree.
This is your proof, seeing others change their opinions on Reiki and go on and do it for themselves.
I feel cheated. Why?
If you have done your Reiki First degree and you feel cheated or you cannot feel the energy flowing through you, don't be alarmed because you are going through a process where you fear change. What this means is that you are holding onto old fears and uncertainties . With practise and the guidance of Reiki you will break down these beliefs. When you do allow yourself to believe, you will be open to the power and love of Reiki. Reiki will teach you to break down any fear or lack of self-confidence that you have within you, in any area of your life. Reiki teaches you to be self confident, it gives you strength and shows you how to be open to the power of love and life.
Reiki Sensations
Over the years I have done many Reiki healings. Reiki has taught me how to pick up different messages, sensations and feelings on people while I have been doing a healing on them. These feelings and sensations have taught me a lot about working with the Reiki energy. In earlier pages of this book I have discussed certain feelings and what they mean, however, I wish to share some more with you in this section.
Sometimes you can be working on a body and feel pain shoot up and down your own body. You may be picking up sickness in the person you are working on and your body is registering it. This is like a psychic sensory that you are having. The pain, when you focus on it will feel like a throbbing, yet it will not really bother you. When the pain has stopped, you will know that you have helped heal or promoted healing faster in the area. You may also need to flick away the pain from your body and also your patients. There could be an intense build up of energy in one area that needs to be Reikied away and also flicked away from the aura. - You may also place your hands on an area and feel a magnetic pull as if you cannot move. This is because the Reiki is telling you that you need to stay longer on the affected area. Simply go with the Reiki energy until the magnetic pulling feeling has stopped. - Sometimes we feel cold or warm air rushing around a person’s body. I believe that the aura can become damaged and that these breezes are indicating that there is damage to a person’s aura, like a tare or a hole. A cold wind alerts me to a spirit presence within their body and a warm breeze indicates that their life force energy is slowly leaking out. To heal this problem, simply Reiki in and around the aura. - If you are working on a person and you become agitated and feel an ill ease you are being alerted that your patient is going through some issues either consciously or unconsciously. These issues may well be some trauma that is arising to the surface for you to help heal with the Reiki. When you feel these sensations and feelings, simply start to breathe gently until you feel at ease and then get your patient to also breathe gently. - Sometimes you may feel like you are getting no response with your Reiki energy when you are doing a healing. It can appear to literally turn off. There could be several reasons but the most common ones are, either the person is blocking you like someone who blocks hypnotism or they are so sick that all the Reiki energy is flow directly to them. Ask them if they can feel any energy at all and if they say that they feel relaxed or some heat then you know that all the energy is entirely directed to them. It is the same when you are doing a healing on yourself and you are ill. The Reiki energy will direct itself within you and you may not feel any sensations at all.
If when you are doing a healing and you start to see different colours, be aware that this represents some psychic wisdom that is being offered to you from the Reiki energy and your own psychic abilities. Colours have their own frequency, wisdom and healing power. They also have a meaning in conjunction to the Chakras. When you see a colour or colours while you are doing a healing, read your Reiki book and it will explain the colours and their meaning with each Chakra. You are being told a message that could help to solve a problem. Also the Reiki energy may also be asking you to focus the colour and it’s power energy through to the person by your third eye. You visualise the colour in your mind and see that colour entering into the area that you are working on in your patient. - Sometimes you see sparks of energy flying around while you are doing a healing. I believe that these sparks are healing energy rays that are generated from a healing that is very powerful. The sparks run around clearing away negative entities and energy that are around you , the room and your patient. Enjoy these times as they can be really rare.
I get that, hot and tingly hands. I've also seen flashes of coloured light out of the corner of my eyes, sometimes its blue and occasionally its a golden colour, its not all the time, just now and again
