I am a Reiki Master-Teacher and one of the first things I ask at reiki session is did you remember to start with yourself first? Always sending your self healing energy as well as ask for healing energy to be sent to you.

As healers we forget that we need to be healed as well, mostley because we are so busy healing others. We can not help others if we are in need. Great idea Carol thank you for reminding us, as times we get so caught up in helping everyone else we forget about ourselves.

Love & Light to all....Chel

I am not a certified healer of ANY sort. I DID however, have a Edgar Cayce-like deep trance reading in which was stated that this incarnation I was to be a healer. Not in the physician sense, but a healer to those of dis-ease.

So I take from that, I am to give comfort, for now. Listen, and offer my thoughts as well as love, in hopes they can find a clearer path.

☼ For now, at least ☼

I've been studying Reiki, I've had one attunement, but have gone further in my studies beyond Reiki 3. I've always been very sensitive to everyone else's feeling. I've been told for a very long time that I'm supposed to be a healer, and I've actually met my healing guide. I haven't really done a healing on anyone else formally, but I imagine it's got to be draining to do that all the time. Just having someone be in a bad mood around me is hard to handle. I've been told I'm an empath, so that explains alot. Now I've got to work on my skills and see what else is going on. I have been trying to do a self-treatment with meditation everyday, but somedays.....I'm sure you all know......you just don't make it there. I'm so happy to meet all of you! I went from not having anyone to talk with about this to this amazing website with so many great people. Have a wonderful night!
Namaste

Being an empath can be very challenging, and Reiki training can help you to channel the emotional overload. One of the things that helped me so much is the visualization of the energy coming into my crown chakra and moving through to my heart chakra, and then down my arms and out my hands. The visualization helped me to keep the energy flowing into the person I am healing so that I don't have as much residual emotional or physical pain to handle. If you keep the visualization in your mind, and make it your intent that your body is a conduit for the energy and that it goes in one direction, you don't get the backlash. I still find that I get the impressions of where the problems are, but I don't physically hurt from the pain of the person being healed. Before Reiki training, if I saw or touched someone in pain, I physically felt the pain in my body. Reiki has helped me learn to keep the energy flowing and I rarely feel the pain physically any longer. I still recognize the pain is there, but I feel more a change in the energy pattern than actually feeling the pain myself.

Have you had the attunements for Reiki 2 and 3? The symbols of Reiki 2 are an incredible boost to the energy flow and if you do not have the attunement, I strongly recommend that you get the attunement as soon as possible. When you use the symbols of protection and power before you begin the healing, it brings a whole different dimension of energy.

Also, do you make sure that you visualize a bubble of loving energy around you with golden light that protects you every day even when you will not be doing a healing? I always make it my intent that this barrier protects me from anything harmful and allows only loving energy to penetrate. I visualize that only good will pass through to me, and that only good will pass through from me to anyone else. I have a lot of information on visualization, if you would be interested. I use the Reiki symbols faithfully every day also, and it makes a huge difference when you take these steps.

In peace. love and light,
carol

Hello,

I would like to jump in and join this conversation.

First, thank you Lisa for forming this group.

I am an Usui Reiki Master/Teacher as well as a Karuna ® Reiki Master. I have to agree with Lisa, if you do not have the attunements you should consider receiving them along with good solid training so you know how to use the energy.

As Lisa said we are a conduit for the Reiki energy. We are not using our own energy, therfore it is not draining for us. In fact when you are giving Reiki you are receiving it as well!

Reiki can and will have an amazing effect on your life.

I wish you luck on your path.

Blessings
Nancy

I've had a few things get stronger just since my first attunement. I usually "see" things just before I fall asleep or in dreams, and that has gotten alot more intense. I've been getting the ringing in my ears stronger, except now I'm "taking the hint". I can feel vibrations of things stronger also. I've always had these things happen,but with all the studying I've done over the last couple of years I know what's going on more. My fathers side of the family for some reason tends to be more sensative about things going on around us. I'm pretty lucky because I've got 2 aunts an a grandma I can talk to about this stuff. My aunts and I have pursued it further. Unfortunetely, I had an experience recently that one aunt was upset because she isn't able to see things. It was a pretty uncomfortable conversation. I get smells also, but usually coinsides with a loved one that has passed on. I'm a little nervous about my gifts getting stronger only because I don't know what to expect and I really don't have a "mentor" of any sort. I'm trusting in my Higher Power though and I'll follow, and try to the best of my ability. I'm so thankful that He led me here to not feel so alone.
Blessings to you all

Lisa: What did you mean by the following?

•I've been getting the ringing in my ears stronger, except now I'm "taking the hint"

I too, usually "See" things in dreams, or "hear" spirits talk to me just as I am about to fall asleep. That's really the only time I have "seen or heard" in the past few years.

Since I've been working more with trying to contact my guides I've been, more often, getting a high pitch ringing. I've been told it's my guides trying to communicate back to me. I've noticed also that I get them everytime I meditate, sometimes when I'm driving and not really paying attention, when things are getting crazy around here(when I would normally say something or blow my top) it's almost like someone's saying "don't say that". When I'm just talking to my guide. I've never had a verbal response from my guide except in dreams, like my healer told me her name, but I've heard my name being said, which I was told angels are alot cleare than guides. I've been told several times that the ringing I'm getting is my guide, that once I get on the right frequency I'll be able to understand them, but they are squeeky.
As far as taking the hint it's like the thing about saying something I shouln't. Since I've been listening to the little "nudges" the argueing on my part has gone way down, and it's not so tense. Or a good for instance.....My mother-in-law, when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, made cards for special occations for everyone in the family. She wrote one for dad to read on his retirement, but that was months ago, and he couldn't bring himself to read it as it's only been just over a year now with her passing. I kept getting the feeling something was really going on with him over new years. I has a dream one night that he was talking about mom crying so hard. I later found out that the same night I had the dream he was reading her card. He didn't tell me until 2 days later, and I guessed what day he read it he didn't tell me, only confirmed the day. By the time he told me I was feeling ok about him and he was feeling better. I get little nudges about my kids, now I listen to them more, and I'm seeing alot of things start to come around.
I'm finally trusting what I'm getting (most of the time), I'm trusting that God has a plan for me. I have NO IDEA what that could be! But I'm here, things are happening on a pretty regular basis. I'm also having books, crystal, and people(most important) coming into my life and it's having such a positive impact. I'm taking it as a sign that I'm on the right path. I'm "flowing"

HI Carol,

I just want to thank you for the information. I have been healing others since 2003. I just joined the WWOR healing site and have been healing on average of about 150 people a day. I sometimes get so caught up in what I am doing that I forget about myself. Lately I have been feeling drained and not my normal bubbly happy go lucky self. If there is anyone that can send me some love and light I would be forever thankful. I have the peace inside me and the love but I could always use a little more.

In Peace, love and light always,
Ken

Ken, I looked at your pictures, and they are beautiful, and extremely relevant to me. I see a lot in your eyes, much kindness, light and energy, and eyes that feel the pain of others. Healing 150 people a day would be a strain on anyone, and I hope that you are taking the time to protect yourself with a bubble of light and love before you do healing, allowing only good in or out through the golden bubble. I sometimes forget and jump in without thinking and then feel drained after the healing. I can't imagine healing 150 people in a day, that is an incredible number.

You are a special person, and I must say that when I began sending healing energy to you, I felt return energy in my hands that was pretty incredible. I hope that you felt the energy as much as I did, and that it rejuvinated you and helped you to know that someone was sending much light, energy and love to you. We must balance our giving to others with love and care of ourselves. This is a hard lesson for an empath, I know, but we can do more good if we take care of ourselves.

Sending warm hugs, peace, love and light,
carol

Hi Carol.

I could feel your energy coming to me. I must warn you when I do the things I can do by putting my hands above someone like you. You will feel the tingly or heat from me. My hands might start quaking after a few minutes. You are the special person on this site. Your words has helped me a lot already. But I am going to sleep on what you send me. I feel better but I am going to rest on it. Just so you know I give 4 leaf and 5 leaf clovers away for just a smile. I have many right now.

Sending warm hugs, peace, love and light,
Ken

I had the strangest thing happen to me yesterday. I don't do readings for people, I mean I haven't other than family members as I've just been learning and it hasn't really occured to me to try. Anyways I started making jewelry, some are wrapped crystals so I can keep whatever stone I want for the day. I've met this person like 3 times on a professional level. She loves my crystals. Her father was a healer and her daughter does Reiki so I guess that's why she guessed, but she asked if I studied different things and I told her what I was studying, and all of the sudden she asked me if she could come to my home for me to read her. In hind sight I should've reacted differently, but I tried to explain that I'd only read family and that I wasn't ready to do that. Maybe that was a hint that I am. wow am I confused.
Blessings
Lisa
