1. The
universe is showing you, through other people, what you need to work on in
yourself. If you attract clients with stress or anxiety, your own
stress/anxiety levels may need to be addressed. Equally you may attract clients
with depression or digestive disorders for the same reasons. If you attract clients
suffering from physical pain, you may have your own pain to deal with. (In my
treatments I usually open up the aura to release areas of pain using an
advanced healing technique taught at Master Healer Level but I have also had
great results incorporating smoky quartz crystal over areas of physical pain.
This crystal draws out all negative energy, including both the physical pain
and any underlying mental/emotional issues that are contributing to the pain.
Always remember to cleanse and reprogram crystals after use.)
2. Giving
a Reiki treatment to a client with the same issue as yourself gives you an
opportunity to heal and clear this issue for the both of you. During a
treatment your energy field merges with that of the client and the healing
energy works on both of you at the same time.
3. Finally
this may also be highlighting a particular energy pattern (for example anxiety)
that you have carried in the past and which you have subsequently cleared and
resolved in yourself. You are now able to help the client release that
particular energy pattern more quickly.
Mirroring
Effect
This
mirroring effect is just one aspect of the Law of Attraction. We are all
connected and we are constantly reflecting back to each other aspects of our
own behaviour and thought patterns. The people around you who you find
particularly challenging are reflecting back to you your own unresolved issues
which need addressing and healing. For example you may have “friends” who
constantly undermine you and make you feel worthless. Your challenge is to
stand up and address this, either removing them from your life or establishing
new ground rules. Another example is the person who spends a considerable
amount of their time caring for others, pushing themselves to the point of exhaustion.
The challenge in this case is to find and implement a more workable solution
requesting support from family and friends, pushing for care packages from the
Local Authority where needed or, in some cases, where appropriate, just
stepping back and letting others step in.
On
the other hand there will be other people in your life whose company you find
uplifting, supportive and enjoyable. These people reflect back to you areas of
your life which are working well, such as family life or friendships.
Importance
of Self-Healing
When
you start your Reiki journey, the focus at Level 1 is on self-healing. The
reason for this is that you need to be as clear a channel as possible so that
your energy is as strong as possible before you start healing others. The
phrase ‘as clear a channel as possible’ implies that you are working on
clearing energy blocks (your own spiritual/mental/emotional issues) in your
chakra system through the practice of self-healing. As a healer you should ideally
make time to do self-healing at least once a week, more often if you have
specific health concerns.
When
your energy body is clear you will find that energy blocks and associated
issues in your clients are released and cleared more quickly. During a healing
session the client’s energy vibration is raised to become more in line with
yours, like two tuning forks sharing the same resonance. This process is known
as entrainment. You may be able to recall occasions when people in low energy
and mood have brought your own energy down to match theirs and other times when
people in a great mood have uplifted you and filled you with their positivity.
You are affected by other people’s energy far more than you probably realise so
it is well worth considering some psychic protection techniques to protect your
energy body and avoid it being depleted.
By
now you can no doubt see the importance of being in a good place vibrationally
yourself. Self-healing and other spiritual practices like meditation should be
done on a regular basis. You can also cleanse your aura with the Violet Flame
after each client or at the end of each day – just call on Archangel Zadkiel or
St Germain to cleanse your energy field with the Violet Flame and visualise it
cleansing your aura (energy field), transmuting all negative energy into light.
You could also carry smoky quartz crystals in your pockets to soak up negative
energy and visualise yourself in a golden or blue bubble of light to protect
your energy levels in everyday situations.
Regular
good practice will ensure that you will be the best healing channel you can be
and your positive, high vibration will attract people to you. Subconsciously or
intuitively they know they will benefit from being both in your energy and the
Reiki healing energy.
