Reiki sensations and feelings

The different types of Reiki sensations or signals
When learning Reiki, it isn't unusual for people to get sensations (or signals) of energy being drawn from the hands. This can be very helpful to the practitioner because when it happens whilst doing a treatment, it normally indicates that more energy is required in that position. The normal procedure is to stay in that position until you can feel the energy's draw subside and the sensations ease off. You can then move on to the next position. Getting sensations in the hands is quite common but it isn't the only way you can receive information. It is sometimes worth doing a check to make sure you are open to different types of messages. Are your hands telling you anything different, for instance: are they a different temperature over a certain part of the client's body? do they fizz? do they tingle? do they get pins and needles? do they get any other types of sensations in them? Or is something else happening that isn't involving your hands? Are you getting signals without realising it? I have come across many people with a wide range of different signals ranging from sensations in their hands, to seeing colours or black tar over a person's body. I haven't met anyone that attributes smells to signals yet but I am sure there are people that unconsciously react to this. So if you are limiting yourself to your own expectations, you are limiting yourself on the whole. You may also find that the more you use Reiki and/or the higher the degree ladder you go, the more different types of sensations you start to get. For this reason, it is sometimes worth actually writing down your experiences when they happen. It may help to ask the following questions as you do: Do you start to see any correlation over a period of time that relates to the sensations? If you see colours, for example, do the different colours correspond to an ailment or mental issue that the person is dealing with? Do the sensations relate to past, present or even future issues? Do you get a signal that relates specifically to mental, emotional or physical problems of the client? and so on... After a while, you may start to see a pattern develop in your sensations and this may help you with future client treatments. This is only a small part of what Reiki is about, so it isn't always necessary to find out about every sensation you get. In the words of Mrs Takata, “All you have to do is take your hands out, apply, and you heal. And as far as healing is concerned, you don’t worry, because you are not doing it. The energy is doing it, Reiki is doing it. If Reiki is doing it there is no mistake, you understand? We need your support... Help us to provide this service to the public by giving a donation.
