Question:
Hello all, me again...
Sorry just need to ask the experts a couple of quick questions.
I have just done my Reiki 1 attunement and I am now starting to self heal. Do I need to cleanse my own aura at the beginning or do we only do this when treating someone else, i cant remember? If I have started my treatment and someone comes in and starts to talking to me does this effect my treatment when i get interupted? I cant feel much from my hands since the attunement at the weekend but i hear this is perfectly ok and the more i self heal the stronger the reiki becomes.
How will i know that i am healing and that i am getting better emotionally/physicallyand I am ready to go on to Reiki 2. I am not trying to rush anything but am just curious.
Sorry for all the q's but i had so much to take in over the weekend that i just wanted to confirm a couple of things, i am worried that i am not doing it right and wont get the benefit.
As always thanks for your help.
Love Vix x
Hi Vixter,
Congratulations on taking your level One and welcome to the Reiki 'family'!
Your questions are perfectly normal for a 'newbie' lol. Your first port of call could be your Reiki Master as part of being a RM is supporting your students ( which includes trying to answer any questions that come up after the course. As you rightly say, so much to take in and experience in a short time!).
What I say to my students is that I show/teach them the basics but then it is for them to find out what isthe best way for them to work.
It shouldn't make any difference if you are interrupted because you will have set your intent to heal yourself. If people wandering in to talk is a problem then maybe try doing self-healing before you go to sleep or before you get up in the morning?
It is not necessary to feel anything happening when doing this. There are some brilliant healers out there who neverfeel anything, it's the feedback they get from the person in front of them that keeps them going!
So, just for today "do not worry" lol!
Keep practising and ask as many questions as you like!
Love and light

Congratulations and Welcome to the Reiki Family Vixster.:D
I would echo what Reikiangel has said. Whatever you feel or don't feel is right for you and remember
Just for Today, don't worry. ;)
Oh yes thanks ladies, "for today do not worry"- I had forgotten already :D
Thats good to know, i will contact my RM but i know she is pretty busy this last couple of days so i thought i would wait. She will be holding Reiki workshops along the way too which is great but i was impatient to find out the answers :)
My problem is... I domy treatmentlast thing at night as that isthebest timeof day for me but then my fiance comes to bed and cant help himself trying toask me lots of questions about what i am doing or should he go out or tries to cuddle up, bless him.
Its very sweet but i was worried he would stop the flow of energy.
Thanks for your replies, it is a lot to remember in these early stages, i was very lucky to have a lady teach us over three mornings rather than cram it all into one weekend which was nice. She is very keen for us to take our time and enjoy each moment but i still managed to forget things as always :)
It should be in your training manual.
You can't beat doing a Reiki course over two days because of the build up energy in that period and with a reputable Reiki Master there usually isn't any questions because you have been informed to a high standard.

Unfortunately, my training manual does not seem to cover everything. I made a few notes but its not altogether flowing which is the problem. My training manual was typed up by one of the students who did the Reiki 1 course before me and its not very good at all.
I was made to believe that it was better to spread it out, as it was too much to do in 2 days, we were originally going to do it over four and as we progressed quicker we did it in three. Now i am a bit worried that I have not been given proper training and that my attunement wont work...???!!!
Hello Vixster - keep asking all the questions you have! This forum seems to be full of people who can help or guide you in the right direction, or even just say 'I don't know' as well! I'm sure you will get a lot of responses on the query of whether you attunement has 'worked' - I think it is something that a lot of people go through at some point. As long as you went along to a Reiki Master then there is no doubt that you have been attuned. Just be patient and try not to compare yourself with anyone else's experiences of Reiki. Even though the attunements themselves are essentially the same from one RM to the next, everyone teaches in a different way. Please try not to worry (just for today!)that you have missed out on something just because others have had a different experience during the training, or after it. Have a read of some Reiki books to fill in any gaps you think you have in your teaching, and don't worry about your RM being busy, they will be happy to help I'm sure.
Isn't it great though?

You are on a path of spiritual growth (note the word growth). Now you know as well as I do that a flower doesn't grow from a seed into a fully blossomed and ripe expression of itself in only a few hours. (comparitively speaking) :)
You are learning to sense and work with energy. It takes time. End of story. Thing is, your desire and intent to learn and become the best you can be and realise your full potential is strong. That's good. But there are times that it is only when we look back, that we see how far we have come. Every day you are going forward and the Universe is carrying you along at exactly the right speed for you. Rest assured that Reiki is far more intelligent than any postings on here can be!
Let Reiki use you. Practice every day, study, self treat this is all Reiki asks of you, Reiki will do the rest. It's a promise.
You'll know when you are ready for Reiki 2. It may be sooner, it may be later, but you will know. Don't worry about Reiki Masters. They are nothing special. Some of them think they know more than they do. Me..I know nothing! ;)
Just let Reiki use you and withyour open heart andimpeccible intent...miracles can happen. You are the govenor of your life and growth and you decide what's best for you. Your intuition will develop too. You already have a Reiki guide working with you as this happens when you are attuned. Sense this guide working with you if you can. Be grateful for your many blessings and as others have said...just for today..do not worry.
:)
Bless

Thanks for that lovely advice Bryan. I definitely feel much better for reading it and last night when i was self healing i really felt the Reiki.
I have not slept through the whole night since leaving the UK in October and since my attunement at the weekend I have every night, how amazing and a fantastic start - it definitely is working.
