Seeking help after reiki

[Guest guest]

I'm a brain injury survivor (eight years now) and I'm going through a

turbulent reaction to a reiki treatment that I had a week ago. I need

to find some gentle techniques (breathing, crystals, etc.) that might

help to calm my neurological responses, which seem to have been

activated by this treatment. I'd be grateful for feedback from the group.

There is occasionally a " healing crisis " after a treatment.  It Should wear off

soon.  Meanwhile, I'd try some of the grounding stones... jasper, petrified

wood... selenite also is very calming.  Hope this helps..

Thanks for responding. This experience almost put me in the hospital.

It was that intense. Things are still not right, and I'm trying to get

things back into alignment. I'll welcome any additional thoughts you

or anyone else may have.

Hello Tom, I didn't read the beginning notes but was concerned because of

the title of your post, and that somehow, after a " healing session " you " almost

ended up in the hospital " .

 

People will sometimes experience variations of a " healing crisis " after

energy work, but that should not be something so serious. As a professional

healer, I can share a couple thoughts. If the healer that you are working with,

or

were working with, is not clear themselves, they can transmit their own

" stuff " onto you. They feel great afterwards, and you'll find people sometimes

saying they love doing energy healing because of how wonderful it feels having

that energy flowing through them during the session, but what is happening

sometimes if they are simply getting rid of their own " stuff " that they are

not ready to work with, relate to or process. This is common with healers who

have minimal training or supervision.

 

The second thought is that if your healer is not centered and grounded, they

can do damage to your chakras or auric field. Notice how you feel next time

you are having a session with your healer, and pay attention to your

intuition. If something doesn't feel right, then stop the session. You may be a

very

sensitive person, and if so, you need a healer who can meet you where you

are and hold you in that place of non judgement and divine consciousness

without trying to alter or change your system until you are ready. Ant that may

not

be during the immediate session.

 

Lastly, your own energy may be " higher " or stronger than your healer, and

this happens when you do a lot of inner work, therapy, introspection and honest

self evaluation, that many people are loathe to do. It makes your own energy

felid more coherent and if you are working with someone who hasn't done the

inner work, then they are going to have a " shattering " effect on your field

which can be damaging or cause a negative reaction. People take a one or two

day healing training class and then put out their shingle may not have ever

even thoughts about doing any of their own inner work and it's up to you, as a

client and consumer to interview your healer. Ask him or her about their

qualifications and background and if you don't feel it's a good match with you,

then don't let that person put their hand on you.

 

Energy work is very powerful and transformational and it is not something to

be taken lightly.

 

Just a few thoughts.

Hi,

 

If possible, go to a quiet, secluded forest. Take several deep

breaths, and then relax in that environment. Visualize yourself

receiving the energy of the forest -- this will help to balance or

align things once again. Do this several times.

 

I hope my suggestion is of some help to you.

 

All the best,

Laurie

Have you contacted the person who gave you the treatment? They may

have the answers you seek...make sure you are drinking plenty of

water....there is a natural detox of the body after such treatments..

 

Also grounding & centering will help...

 

Grounding and Centering Exercises

 

Grounding Exercise #1

 

This is a grounding that I did once spontaneously and it worked

amazingly well for me. It is Far Eastern in flavor, but try it and

see. Take a moment after each session to journal.

 

First, if you don't get it the first or second or third time, don't

hassle yourself. Just keep trying and be gentle with yourself.

Second, get a notebook because you are going to be taking notes.

Third, do this every day for 5 minutes. Fourth, repeat the first step

until you have it in your head firmly. It will be our first and

foremost rule.

 

Sit or lie down. Be comfortable. Put on some white noise if you need

too. Or soft music may help. Let's get the basics down first.

 

This is about grounding and centering. Your center is that place that

is there when you need inner strength. It is that place you reach for

when your world is falling apart. It is always there. You don't lose

your center.

 

See yourself in the center of a lotus blossom. The lotus is lovely

and open.... pretty pink-purple (color choice is yours) petals laying

about you. Now see the petals begin to rise. One by one they form

about you. You are in the center with light streaming in from the

cracks as the petals draw tighter. See the petals absorb into you as

you become the lotus bud itself. Feel the heaviness in your stomach

as you sink into the blossom.

 

Be at peace. Feel the quiet you have created for yourself. This is

your center and you can find it any time. Try to stay here for a few

heartbeats. Don't worry about random thoughts. Acknowledge them and

put them aside for now. You can come back to them later. Let the

solidness become familiar to you. When you are ready, let the blossom

that is you unfold slowly. Petal by petal let them drop softly to the

ground until you are once again sitting in the center of the lotus

blossom.

 

 

Grounding exercise #2

This is one I learned from Starhawk's Spiral Dance. It is a very

often-done meditation and you may have seen versions of this one in

many places and from many people. This is my version.

 

Get comfortable. For this one, I find that sitting works best. I like

to sit in a chair or sit with my back against something.

 

Take a deep breath and hold it. It is this space between breathing

that I believe the Buddhist refer to as the " awareness " . I need to

research that though. Release the breath slowly.

 

Take a deep breath and hold it. (counting 1-2-3-4-5 slowly) and

release the breath slowly.

Take a deep breath and hold it. (counting 1-2-3-4-5 slowly) and

release the breath slowly.

Take a deep breath and hold it. (counting 1-2-3-4-5 slowly) and

release the breath slowly.

Take a deep breath and hold it. (counting 1-2-3-4-5 slowly) and

release the breath slowly.

 

Now, see in your mind's eye a tree. Don't worry if the tree isn't

crystal clear. Just remember a tree you once knew. Sit down with your

back against that tree. Feel the trunk against your back and know

that this is a safe spot for you.

 

Now, your spine is the conductor of your chakras. The base chakra is

the root chakra. This is literally where your spine ends. I want you

to extend that base chakra down. This is your taproot. Press it down

into the earth until you can feel that pulling at your center. Relax

and just feel how this affects your body for a moment.

 

Now, slowly begin drawing energy up from the earth. Let it fill the

root chakra. (pause). Now it moves to the belly chakra. Feel the

energy slowly spreading. (pause) Next it moves to your solar plexus

chakra. (pause) And now your heart chakra. Note what the energy feels

like to you. Is it cool? cold? warm? hot? prickly? itchy? (pause) Now

the energy moves up to your throat chakra. (pause) And to the third

eye chakra (pause) As it reaches your crown chakra, feel the energy

spill up and out like a waterfall. (pause)

 

Let this waterfall flow down to the earth and soak back into the

ground. This is the energy pool that is always available to you. Take

a few moments to feel the cycle of the waterfall.

 

(pause for at least two minutes here)

 

Now, let the waterfall gradually ebb back into your crown chakra. It

slides down to your third eye. Past your throat chakra and to the

heart chakra. Now the solar plexus down to the belly chakra. As it

moves back to the root chakra, begin to draw your tap root up into

the root as well. Excess energies will be flushed through the root

chakra leaving behind only what you need.

 

When you feel ready, open your eyes and come back to yourself.
