The Reiki Cleanse - or getting rid of
stuck stuff!
Published in the November 1998 issue of "The Messenger"
We recently did a class in another state...and people were very
excited about the possibility of speeding up their Spiritual
awakening. The students received all of the instructions and
techniques of the appropriate levels for which they were ready, as
well as repeated notices regarding the 21 day purification cycle. We
stressed that other students have gone through this cycle and
successfully survived the "uncomfortableness" of the purification. We
strongly suggested that when energies mounted, and "stuff" surfaced to
be eliminated from cellular memory, that they continue to give
themselves "daily treatments". We explained that Reiki digs deep into
levels of memories/patterns/learning and when the
dysfunctional/outdated emotions surface, that the intensities are
lessened by doing more Reiki. We stated that if anyone had
difficulties dealing with the energy of the cleansing, to call us and
we would support their process, help with "absentee treatments" and
just be there for them. Did we get called? Not by the students, but by
the friend that hosted our classes. She explained that several of the
students were having trouble with their emotions, and that it was so
uncomfortable, many had decided to stop doing Reiki. They began to
question the co-ordinator as to why anyone in their right minds would
want to go on to higher levels of Reiki training and attunements.
Sound familiar?
Well, I write this in response to this re-occurring
situation. No matter how much we insist that this process is lessened
by the continued practice of Reiki, there are always a few that decide
that Reiki may not be for them. They dig into their "stuff", bring it
to the surface, then stop the completion of the process of ridding
themselves of all that was imbalanced within their being. I share this
experience to help every student of Reiki to understand that this is
a result of introducing a very high energy vibration into a dense mass
(the body), and that there will definitely be stuff arise and changes
that take place; these will be quite uncomfortable to their "
established" way-of-being. Reiki speeds up the natural flow of events;
it pushes repressed imbalances/dysfunctions/stuck-energy through our
body to be dispelled through all the channels of elimination. The
process is not different from the "pain" of losing someone dear to us;
we have held onto this excessive baggage far longer than needed, and
we have come to think that it is part of us; that it is the glue that
holds us together. Not so... this stuff blocks the energy meridians,
causing pain/discomfort, changes our energy flows, causes us to be
out-of-touch with inner processes. We most often adjust our physical
structure to compensate for any pain, and after a while, we repress
our awareness of it altogether, sometimes for years. One of the
benefits of being attuned to Reiki is a heightened awareness....
increased sensitivity to what is happening in our bodies and energy
fields. We sometimes think that we didn't have all of this pain before
our attunement, so the Reiki must have caused it. This erroneous
thinking escalates... we then think that if we stop doing Reiki, that
the discomfort will subside, but more often, all we have done is to
sensitize the body, and bring the imbalanced energy to the surface,
where it gets stuck again. So we carry around this sensitivity until
we can effectively sublimate/repress it once again. And furthermore,
we are not so likely to want to repeat this scenario again soon. So we
let it lie dormant within us. Can you see that this is not the most
effective way to deal with our clearing process?
What to do? Reiki,
Reiki, and more Reiki. Allow other Reiki practitioners to assist you
in your process. Submit your personal information to "Healing Request
Sites" on the internet. Build a "crystal grid" and put a surrogate of
yourself into the grid to speed up the purification cycle. Get
together with Reiki friends for weekly "Reiki Sharings". Set up a "
Reiki marathon" to help you over the rough spots. Indulge yourself in
simple pleasures.... long walks in natural settings, take long, hot,
candle-lit baths, adding minerals that will clear your energy fields.
Sleep-in longer in the morning, take frequent cat-naps, and read
metaphysical/spiritual/philosophical books that are calming to your
body, mind, and spirit. And did I mention to do lots of Reiki? There
are many memories/traumas from a lot of lifetimes to be cleared.... "
karma". Just remember, you are not going to have to re-live the karmic
indebtedness, unless you block the energy from rising to the surface
and pushing it beyond your aura. It may not feel like it...but it is
easier to deal with the "carried-over" memories energetically than it
is to have to re-live the experiences in future lifetimes. Thank you
for your openness to read these thoughts.
