I recently had two Reiiki sessions from someone I trust and I have very good intellectual and emotional instincts about.
Both sessions left me feeling very grounded & relaxed, feeling like I had had a full massage even though Reiki is only 'light-touch' (meaning the person performing it only touches you lightly with their fingertips).
When the person doing the Reiki described to me what impressions she felt in certain areas, it really was exactly what I was feeling, and where.
I didn't feel much difference at all after the first session. (I was going specifically to target a depression I've been going through for many, many months and have been unable to fully shake. I've been trying to focus on breathing exercises, affirmations, and an overall very positive attitude, as well as continuing to develop my spiritual experience (I keep pulling "The Hermit" in Tarot readings)......these things have helped, and helped me cope with it, but it is still very much here, with me.
The day after the second session, I had a powerful outburst of grief that felt very cathartic........loss, crying for hours, sadness, loneliness, it all just came pouring out. And unlike 85% of crying when I'm depressed (which does not feel cleansing or 'healthy'), it did feel cathartic and like I was actually grieving.
The depression is still with me, and that was a month ago, but I think the Reiki did help unlock some pent-up grief there.
I'm considering going for a third session. I've also been changing my diet (less diary, more vegetables, attention to vitamins and protein intake, drinking lots of water every day, almost no junk food, little or no soda), and I find that after a few months, I am no longer attracted to junky foods. However, the depression has remained pretty much the same.
I just thought I'd chime in with my experience with Reiki. The price was not big but not small per session, but roughly the same cost as a singer would pay for a private singing lesson or a similar service......very reasonable.
Oh, and the practicioner I worked with said Reiki should only be done once every two weeks at MOST; because the body needs time to process the moving around of energy that was done in the session -- and, she commented, you need to decide, consciously and subconsciously, how you are going to deal with the new information and emotions the Reiki will bring up within you. (The fact that she said bi-weekly at the most because you need to give the body and psyche time showed me that she's not out to just take all my money; otherwise she'd be saying "you need a session every three days!!") |
