Question:
In need of encouragement![&:]
hello everyone!
i have just completed reiki 1 and loved the course :), trouble is I need to hear how other folk felt this early on when practising reiki on their willing guinea pigs!
I don't feel much more than warmth and see some glorious magenta pink when my eyes are closed on occasions...I don't sense obvious cold or heat or tingling etc.
Do the sensations get stronger as you practise? Do the recipients feel more as I practise more? I guess reassurance that this is how it starts would help...it will only take a few skeptics to poo poo what I'm doing and I'll be on the self-doubt rollercoaster[:o]
Thanks for any advice on offer!

Hi Holistic Bliss,
Welcome to Reiki!:)
Well, you're getting more than I did when I'd just done Reiki 1! The only way I could tell the Reiki was flowing was to touch my face with my fingertips, as they were usually warm instead of stone cold! I've yet to see any colours or anything and I've now done Reiki 2 a few months ago.
Basically we are all different and get whatever is right for us. The Reiki will flow whether you are aware of it or not, so - just for today, do not worry:)
Hi Holisitc,
Just for today, do not worry...
We all feel the energy differently.
One of my QiGong teachers says taht tingling is energy that is getting unstuck. So not feeling any tingling could be a sign that your energy was flowling well already!!
I usually do not feel my temperature changing when I give Reiki, but at times the receiver says that I have "burning hot hands". As for colours, I don't see any during treatments.
Sensations have not become stronger for me with time, but I have learned to pay more attention and recognise better the subtleties of the energy.

you need to relax into your reiki, you say you feel warmth and see colours, what else do you want to see hear feel from reiki?
how many self healing sessions and healing on friends and family have you done? the more you do the more your reiki will flow.
also it is not about what you feel, it is the results that count
are you doing daily self healings, the energy is flowing through you fine however it can take practice to become sensitive to the energy and to be honest you need practice and time to adjust and be aware.
just trust the energy, get your hands on some volunteers and let us know how you gt on.

Thanks everyone - I guess relaxing into it is the best thing.
Dez, I suppose I am unsure whether the warmth I am feeling or the colour I see aren't things I would experience anyway and am questioning whether it is the reiki or if I'm just grappling for something to convince myself with!!
I am doing daily self healing as I was advised to do that so that should help.
Artemis, thanks for the info on the tingling - I guess no tingling could be a positive then!
Muriel, thank you for the encouragement - it is comforting to know that the sensations aren't always obvious for anyone.
I think I am searching for concrete results as it would help me to convince sceptical recipients... I think its so easy for anyone not sure about reiki to be dissatisfied from a treatment that they cannot physically feel; the energy flow explanation just raises unconvinced eyebrows in a lot of folk.
On a positive note I have today relieved myself of a revolting headache whilst practising self-healing so I'm a happy bunny:)
How does anyone else approach the sceptic thing?

well done for clearing the headache
if reiki was not working then maybe it would not have cleared
i love sceptics, especially if they have something wrong with them.
please just get your hands on as many people as you can
trust and accept
relax and remember you do not heal anyone neither do i
we are fecilitators to the healing therefore we have nothing to prove.
with lots of hands on and self healing you will be posting your own possitive experiences very soon
no one becomes a great healer/facilitator overnight.
ps
some of my best healings are when i have felt nothing and the client wakes up and says WOW
so relax
enjoy
