Why do I sometimes feel drained after I give a Reiki Treatment?
Think of the relationship between a client and a practitioner in this
way: each person has a bubble of energy surrounding the physical
body. When one person approaches another, and the auric fields
interact... the person with the least energy begins to pull energy
from the person who has the higher amount of energy. If a practitioner
has a weakened energy field, and they work with "chronically
imbalanced" people with a greater amount of energy, then the
practitioner will receive some of the client's energy, including the
distortions/negatively-charged energy molecules. If the practitioner's
immune system is also low in energy or malfunctioning, then the
imbalanced energy now in his/her aura "may" further weaken it, and it
is possible for the physical body to begin to mimic the symptoms
exhibited in the client. But we usually are able to shower, regain our
energy level, rebuild our immune system so that our cellular make-up
does not have ample time to duplicate dysfunctional patterns of
dis-ease. That is how we are able to work on so many people and not
take on every dis-ease experienced in clients. I would suggest that
when we are not "feeling" energized, or we feel our bodies going
through changes, that we consciously withdraw our services, so that we
can focus on our most important task-at-hand... that of regaining our
balance/well-being. Otherwise, we are not taking care of ourselves
sufficiently, and we may be doing others an injustice also. If we
ignore these "signs/suggestions", then we are extending the time that
it will take for us and others to return to wholeness.
