Reiki enables relaxation, speeds-up healing, improves certain symptoms, and reduces pain. It is performed by healers in order to balance as well as align the person in a non-invasive manner. However, many practitioners carry-out reiki with impure intentions. It is worth noting that reiki energy is pure and the practitioners need to have unconditional love to impart healing energies. When they do not have pure intentions, reiki does not work well. Along with this, healers make many other mistakes like
- Using Their Energy and Take on the Ailments of Clients
Reiki practitioners place their hands close or on the body of the patient gently. This way the healing energy passes to the patient from the practitioner and the patient might feel relief. However, while performing reiki the healers that just starting to heal believe that they could use their spirits energy for healing. And, after the session, they feel depleted as well as tired.
As the healers use their energies, they also draw the negative energies of clients including ailments on their spirit subtle body. Therefore, after few hours of healing, the practitioners exhibit the symptoms of the client. It could be physical problems, illnesses, or emotional issues that the client has. And, for practitioners, it could take few days to replenish the depleted energies.
- Not Focusing on the Healing
Being distracted during the reiki session does not provide the desired results. For instance, chatting with the client during a healing session is wrong. In case kids or other people nearby make too much noise, it could affect the healing. If you lose focus on healing, the client would not be relaxed and it could block the benefits of reiki. To mask the ambient noise, consider playing relaxing or meditative music.
- Controlling the Healing
Another common mistake is that few practitioners make efforts to control the reiki with the intention to heal certain conditions that clients might have. It is worth noting that the reiki is guided through high intelligence and it would flow naturally as well as find the needs that client has. Therefore, it is advised not to control that as this could restrict the reiki. You don’t need to manipulate or change the energies because they are in their pure form while received as well as channeled.
It is recommended to let the energies flow freely. They would find their way to what is in the requirement of healing as well as help the person to the best level. After healing the client, you could scan them for the additional requirements. If needed, let the reiki do the work that too without controlling it.
- Giving Advice on Medication
Reiki practitioners possess the knowledge of reiki. Therefore, they are not supposed to give any recommendation to the client to stop the medications. Doing so could affect the health and well-being of the client. In case any client asks about the medication, the reiki healers need to refer them to their concerned doctors. They must tell the clients to see the medical practitioner in case their symptoms persist.
- Providing Other Treatments to Client Without Being Qualified
Reiki healing is all about providing reiki. Sometimes, the practitioners use the crystals to cleanse the seven main chakras. However, applying the aromatherapy oils to the client is not right. It is advised to practitioners not to provide any massage or treatment to clients during the reiki session.
In case you are qualified in any other therapy or possess any other ability, it is advised to offer them at another time. And, if you feel you lack knowledge about reiki, consider joining reiki school. Doing so would help you deepen your reiki knowledge as well as unleash the innate healing powers.
