Do Reiki practitioners absorb my “negative energy”? Can I absorb theirs?
Do Reiki practitioners absorb my “negative energy”? Can I absorb theirs?First, I don’t like to think that you have good energy or bad energy. What I’m more interested in is if your energy is balanced or unbalanced.
Without taking into account the natural aging process, if your energy is balanced you experience:
– minor, if any physical discomfort
– emotional balance
– mental clarity and focus
– a solid connection to yourself
Whereas, if your energy is unbalanced you can experience physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual imbalances such as:
- anxiety
- depression
- hormonal imbalances
- chronic neck, shoulder, hip pain, and tension
- lack of clarity around life purpose and direction
- general sense of being “stuck” in different areas of life
- fertility challenges
- autoimmune conditions
- insomnia
Reiki rebalances your system so you feel and function better. So now that we now know a little more about what an imbalance is and some of the associated symptoms you could be experiencing, let’s move on to the possibility of energy being transferred between a Reiki practitioner and recipient…
During a Reiki treatment can energy be transferred between a Reiki practitioner and Reiki patient?
During a Reiki treatment, a Reiki practitioner places their hands on or over your body. A Reiki practitioner acts as a kind of “one-way hose” for Reiki. When they place their hands on your or over your body they unlock your natural healing ability. Consequently, you gain, or regain, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual balance. This may take one treatment or a series of treatments. Reiki practitioners don’t absorb your energy. Nor do you absorb their energy, any more so than if you were exchanging long periods of touch with another human.
How to gain holistic balance
Yes, it’s true. Our systems pick up on the energy (some call it vibes) of others. We are spiritual beings having a human experience and each day we’re affected by the people around us. We “pick up” on their energy consciously or subconsciously. This is normal and natural – it’s part of sharing your life with others. It can become problematic if you’re depleted and are experiencing:
- a mental imbalance
- an emotional imbalance
- are physically unwell
During these states, the energy of others can affect you more than if you’re experiencing a period of optimum health.
During Reiki treatments and Reiki courses, you learn valuable skills that bring you back to yourself. They focus on regulating your central nervous system. They’re grounding and are simple to practice while you’re at home or work.
