emotions or even the same people and situations may recur , even though you thought you had already sorted them out previously . It may happen because they need healing on a much deeper level , and once it ’ s done , they will disappear , and you will eventually free yourself from experiencing them over again . This is a necessary learning curve and process of letting go . Naturally , it is ongoing , and it may take weeks , months , or years of peeling the layers and shedding everything that does not work for your highest good . Gradually , you will be feeling better , lighter , healthier , more energetic and attuned with your true self and less concerned with other people ’ s opinions , behaviours , and attitudes .
Reiki does not need any special preparation or rituals before it starts flowing .
Taking a deep breath and saying in your mind or out loud , “ Reiki flows for my greatest and highest good ” will be enough . Emotions and thoughts are energy , so used with intention become very powerful . Therefore it is so important to choose what we think , because it ( good or bad ) can manifest in our reality very quickly .
Reiki will naturally flow when you put your hands on the place that needs healing .
You are never in control of the energy flow ; you are only a channel through which the energy goes . It is Divinely guided , so it always flows where it is needed . As an example , you may really wish to help and heal your friend from their illness with the best intention at heart ; however , if it is not for his / her highest good , it will not happen . The symptoms will remain while they face up to the root cause so that Reiki can flow there ( usually mental , emotional , or spiritual ). Reiki may bring temporary relief of symptoms ; however , we can never guarantee what it will do as it is never under our control . The best way to approach the healing is to lose any expectations of its outcome , and always remember to ask that it works for the greatest and higher good – whatever this will mean in your own healing process . This is the hardest part of the whole journey . Healing the self is a priority and must come before healing others .
