How will I feel after a Reiki healing session?

Living with Diabetes can be overwhelming and stressful at times.  For clients who suffer from this chronic illness, there are many benefits to receiving Reiki (Universal Life Force Energy) as a holistic health supplement to their health care regimen, including pain management, anxiety and depression relief, and strengthening of the immune system. Receiving Reiki, however, is not a “cookie-cutter” experience. It is common for Reiki patients to feel various sensations after a treatment.  If you are considering attending a distance Reiki energy healing session and have questions about what to expect afterwards, you have come to the right place!

TEMPERATURE SENSATIONS

If you are feeling warmth or cold after a Reiki energy healing session, it is a good sign!  Feeling temperature change in your body is an indicator that the Reiki healing energy is working as it needs to and is flowing freely. These temperature sensations should go away on their own as energy blocks are cleared in your body. Reiki will continue to flow to that area and will provide positive healing energy, eliminating the negative, until the sensations subside.  So, if you feel cold or warm after a session, embrace and welcome this as a sign of positive progress and healing.

OTHER PHYSICAL SENSATIONS

Apart from temperature sensations, you may experience other physical sensations, as well.  Profound muscle relaxation is the most common sensation felt. You may, however, experience sensations such as increased frequency in urination and bowel movements. This is because Reiki healing energy releases toxins from your body in the most direct, fastest, and easiest way it can. In addition, you may also feel frequent fluctuations in energy levels, changing from boundless energy to fatigue. Also, you may experience tingling, an upsurge of pain, or headaches. Does this mean that Reiki healing energy is making things worse? Quite the contrary, this happens because the body is in the process of treating and rebalancing itself.  This is a crucial part of natural healing. Even though it may seem like things are going in the wrong direction, in actuality the body is using this holistic energy to heal itself.  This healing process may occur for two to three days or longer. Simply rest and drink lots of water to help this phase to pass.

EMOTIONAL SENSATIONS

Reiki energy healing sessions most commonly bring forth feelings of deep calm and peace. This holistic energy healing may, however, cause you to become more emotional as it brings out repressed emotions from your past.  Reiki heals in layers, like an onion, peeling away each layer until it gets to the root cause of the emotions. Feeling angrier, sadder, or more anxious after a session is not unheard of. 

Most of us base our mental health on how good we feel. So, when there is an upsurge of negative emotion, we naturally feel that Reiki is doing more harm than good. This, however, is not the case. Reiki healing energy is intelligent, it knows what is best for you. Reiki always serves your highest and greatest good. It is entirely safe and never causes harm.

FEELING NOTHING AT ALL

It is possible that you may feel nothing at all after a Reiki energy healing session. If that happens, do not be discouraged!  It is okay not to have any exciting mystical experiences or visualizations. Know that there are no rules about how a Reiki healing session should feel. You may have an incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience, or you may feel nothing at all.  The most important thing is to welcome and accept your unique experience.  Even if you felt little or no sensations, rest assured you have received the appropriate amount of Reiki for your specific needs.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Consider having a Distance Reiki energy healing session to promote deep healing as Holistic Supplement for Diabetes Management!  Know that this holistic Universal Life Force energy does its job and knows what is best for you every time, and in all ways. Trust and accept the process, and allow the magic to envelop you!
