i'm really concerned.

[mcprecious]

during the past few days, i've been having trouble feeling the heat that i once felt during my self treatments and giving/sending Reiki to other people. at the end of march, i was attuned to the second degree and loved the boost of energy and heat that i felt, especially when using the power symbol on my palms at the start of my treatments. now i know that Reiki can never leave you once you are attuned, but i'm really scared. i don't feel anything and i'm still trying to convince myself that Reiki is flowing, but it's difficult to do so when i don't feel a thing! what can i do? what could have changed from the end of march to just a few days ago? and what can i do to get that feeling back? i'm really kinda nervous about it! any help would be most appreciated! thanks!

The Energy Ball. This exercise appears in most energy healing techniques as the basic standard means of experiencing human energy.
Hold your hands so that your palms are facing each other, about two inches apart. Take a few deep breaths, focusing your attention on the space between your hands. Move your palms apart until there is about six inches between them, and then move them forward till they are almost touching. Continue moving them gently, apart and together, for a minute or two. Pay attention to the sensations between your hands. (If after a few minutes of this, you don’t feel any sensations, try rubbing your hands together vigorously for a minute, and then repeating this experiment.)
Then move your hands till they are about 12” apart, and begin moving them slowly toward each other, focusing on the sensations. You may feel some tingling or warmth. You may find that at some point, it feels as if there is resistance; it may feel like “the air is thicker” or like there’s outward pressure like magnets pushing each other away. This is because you have met the edge of the energy field emanating from the other palm. Gently move the hands a little closer together (about an inch). You may now feel tingling on the back of your hands. The energy field of each hand has passed through the other hand.
Move your hands to 12” apart again. Move them toward each other, until you feel resistance. Imagine this energy is a ball, and curl your fingers around the edges of it. Play with this, moving one palm up along the top side of the ball, while the other moves below, and so on, exploring how the energy feels. Sidney.

Mcprecious, No need to be concerned. Your body is adjusting to the new, higher vibration of the Reiki. Now that you are getting used to the new vibes, you may not be able to feel it as much, but it is still there. (Think: Diving into a pool of cool water. It takes a minute to get used to the temperature. After you are acclimated, you don't feel so cold, but did the water temp change at all? nope!)

We all want to feel the huge surge of energy when we do Reiki, but every session is different, and every recipient is different. Know that the energy IS flowing, even if you don't perceive it! The person on the other end may be feeling it very strongly! Even if you or the other person is not feeling it, it's still doing its work. That is certain!

Go easy on yourself, do the excercizes that Sidney talks about above, and continue to self treat. It really works! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Love, Joanie
