Why do Reiki masters/channels stop giving Reiki healing to others?

Last month the client who came to learn Reiki told me that her father was a Reiki IIIA channel and he had helped many people heal through Reiki. He used to give Reiki healing to many friends and relatives, who benefitted tremendously. But now he only does self-healing, no more healing for others.

‘Why,’ I was curious.

“Because he started picking up symptoms of clients and suffering himself.”

I asked the most obvious reason, ‘Was he giving them healing free?’

‘Yes.’

I have come across many Reiki masters also who do only attunements. They don’t do healing for others.

The reasons for picking up symptoms

Over the years I learned many things the hard way. In the initial years I used to feel very hesitant to ask a fee for the Reiki healing. My teacher told me strictly that it should not be given free.

Once a close friend came for healing and she told she will pay me later. I agreed and continued with the 21 days healing that we had fixed. After a week I had an acute suffering with the problem she was taking healing for. After two hours of suffering it struck me. I called her up and told that I would be forced to discontinue healing unless she paid up immediately. And I was relieved of the symptoms!

I always stress in my classes the importance of having an energy exchange for healing. It need not be always money. It can be a worthy gift, a service rendered or something similar. Giving Reiki healing free is the commonest reason for picking up symptoms.

Free things are not valued

Imagine while walking on the road you find a costly pen lying on the road. You pick it up and come home. Most probably you will just keep it somewhere in the house and go ahead with your routine. Now another scenario. You go to the shop to buy a costly pen. You take time to choose and buy a similar pen as in the previous example. Now when you reach home, you will keep that pen somewhere safely before doing anything else.

When people fix up for distant healing, they are supposed to sit at a certain time to receive the healing energy. I have seen that when they don’t pay for it, they will miss out on sitting to receive healing, giving so many excuses. Once a payment is done, they usually are regular.

Clearing Karmic debt

It is always give and take in the Universe. Karmic debts are to be cleared even if it takes another life time. Once Reiki healing is given free, to negate that debt, both these souls may have to wait for many eons to incarnate together.  If the energy exchange is done immediately, the slate is clear to proceed in your journey of life.

When you think you are the healer

When one begins thinking he/she is the healer and starts feeling high, there comes the problem of suffering from the clients’ symptoms.

In this aspect I was lucky that my Reiki master grilled into my brain that ‘You are not the healer. It is the client who heals himself/herself. You are just a Reiki channel, providing energy for them to heal themselves. Don’t ever feel proud and think they are your achievements. Just thank Reiki for making it happen.’

Ground yourselves while giving Reiki to others

Another situation where you may pick up symptoms is when you are not grounded while channeling Reiki energy. You are grounded when your feet are touching the ground. Problem comes when the floor is made of wood, which prevents grounding. In such situations, one has to ask for white light protection from Reiki before starting the healing session.

Is energy exchange mandatory in every single case?

It is not. Suppose you are giving Reiki healing to your mother. It is ridiculous to ask her anything in return. Already she has given you so much that you will never be able to repay. So wherever there is already an energy exchange, healing can be given free.

In another situation, your friend came to know that you have learned Reiki and out of curiosity wants to experience it. Go ahead and give a healing, no exchange needed. But if he/she felt so relaxed after the healing and got a very good sleep that day, and brings the parent for healing for disturbed mind, there has to be an energy exchange.

For the Universal good

This is another area where, as Reiki channels we come together to stream Reiki energy in situations of natural calamity, a plane hijack, or any other condition where large group of people are in pain and suffering. Even if you are sending healing individually for this purpose, no exchange is necessary.

What is to be expected during a distant Reiki healing session?

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a healing method that utilizes Universal healing energy to bring about physical healing. It also brings to you whatever is needed to improve one’s worldly life or spiritual life.  Long term physical ailments which showed no improvements despite a vast array of treatments have vanished after 21 days of healing or sometimes much less.

It has helped many of my clients to leave behind suicidal tendencies, improve relationships and bring self confidence to many youngsters in facing life’s challenges.

How many days of Reiki healing is required?

For sudden or acute problems, seven days of Reiki healing will be sufficient, and its effect can last for at least 21 days. For chronic or long term problems, 21 days of daily healing is advised, the effect of which will last for at least three months. Then if the problem is not completely resolved, you can go for another 21 days session, or better still, learn Reiki and do self healing every day and watch your life taking a totally different direction that is amazing.  

What are the effects of Reiki healing?

Basically Reiki brings about a deep relaxation that can induce good sleep. It dissolves energy blockages and cleanses the body of poisons. It supplies Universal Life Force energy and increases the frequency of vibration of the body that strengthens the immune system, thus enhancing the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

It reduces pain and the side effects of drugs. It functions on all levels –physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social. It gives clarity to solve problems.

What should be expected during Reiki healing sessions?

Once the Reiki energy reaches your body, it starts its healing work. Whether you feel the energy’s presence during the healing session or not, is dependent upon your sensitivity or your sixth sense.

Sensitive individuals will feel various things like heat, cold, vibrations, air movement, numbness or tingling sensation. Some clients have even reported that during distant healing sessions they could sense my presence near them, transmitting the energy. One client said she felt vibrational energy entering her body through her feet.

If you are not sensitive, you may not have any physical sensations, but just a deep sense of peace.

Should I take any precaution during the Healing period?

Since Reiki starts eliminating toxins from the body, it is very important to drink lot of water to facilitate this. When you sit to receive the distant healing, be totally open to receive the energy and surrender to its soothing embrace.

Should I have faith in Reiki for it to be effective?

Faith is not mandatory for Reiki healing to work, since Reiki works on animals, plants and electronic devices. But it is important to see that you are not harbouring strong negative faiths that oppose the healing energy. For example, majority of people believe that diabetes is not curable, and they will never be able to get rid of the problem. But I know people who have overcome it because they could keep an open mind and give chance for Reiki to work.

What outcome should I expect?

Many times the cause for which Reiki is being given (pain, lack of sleep etc.,) will be eliminated in one or two days. You will start experiencing a peaceful attitude.

But in rare cases it may take longer to see the expected results. This is because Reiki works on the root cause, like emotional blockage. It will first dissolve this blockage (which won’t be palpable) and then the elimination of pain or other effect will become apparent.

Will distant healing work?

When I sent distant healing for the first time to a close friend way back in 1997, it was to just satisfy the curiosity of my skeptical mind. And wasn’t I surprised at the astonishing results! She was the one who brought her friends for Reiki distant healing, and they in turn brought their friends, thus expanding my client base. I have helped people from around the world heal through distant Reiki. So, yes, distant Reiki healing is equally effective.
