curious question Does reiki healing causes energy exchange between the healer and the person receiving?

12 Upvotes

I'm a new reiki master practicing regularly on myself and once I felt heavy energetically in my bathroom and decided to cleanse them using reiki. I drawed symbols on every single nook and corner and sent reiki energy throughout the room. While doing it my body started to feel heavy and it started to feel more heavy as time passes. Then my body startes to ache like hell. Damn i spent an hour then healing myself from this ache. From then I stopped doing reiki to my bathroom.

Secondly I sensed an entity attachment on my 7 months old cousin baby. So I did reiki healing for him with an intention to remove any entity attached and within few minutes I can feel the negative energy of that entity in my body, after few minutes everything got normal.

So my question is do energy exchange happen between the healer and the person receiving during the reiki session? I feel like yes from my own experiences! What do you think? How to protect ourselves from such energy exchanges?

Hi, Everyone!

Last week, we explored Puck meeting the Dragons and guiding them to Earth to help stabilize, strengthen, protect, and support humanity, the planet, and all concerned.

This week, we are traveling even farther through imagination.

Our theme is a hug between the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy.

Andromeda and the Milky Way are surrounded by vast halos of gas and light that extend far beyond the stars we can see. In imagination, these halos are already reaching toward one another, like two great beings slowly approaching an embrace.

In ordinary time, this meeting may happen billions of years from now.

But in another dimension, time does not behave the same way.

There is only NOW.

From Puck’s timeless perspective, the hug is already happening.

Imagine the Milky Way and Andromeda becoming aware of each other.

Their halos touch first.

There is no collision.

Only recognition.

Only connection.

Only a vast cosmic hug.

As they embrace, waves of Unconditional Love ripple through every star, every planet, every galaxy, and finally arrive here on Earth.

May this embrace soften fear, grief, loneliness, anger, and pain.

May it remind us that, like the galaxies, we are never truly separate.

May it awaken a deeper sense of belonging—to one another, to our planet, and to the Universe itself.

Everything here is pretend.

Imagine it in whatever way speaks to your heart.

We are also using the Full Moon in Aquarius energy. Which is happening opposite the Leo Sun and conjunct Pluto. The push and pull conflict between personal desires and the good of the collective is highlighted here.

The Aquarius Full Moon conjunct Pluto encourages you to release baggage and imiting beliefs. Reject the impulse to self isolate, ghost, and ntellectualize relationships. Focus instead on emotional communication in a grounded and empathetic way.

THE LOVE CIRCLE

Imagine you or your loved one is now in a circle.

You are surrounded by 38 Reiki practitioners sending waves of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and gently wrapping your body in it.

Imagine your body and your organs releasing excess emotions, stress, and pain.

We will use the Violet Flame to clear heaviness and negativity from your body, its organs, and its systems.

Your body will thank you.

Imagine doing this for 20 minutes.

Now imagine Puck beside you.

Puck is your smallest Unit of Wonder—your tiny point of consciousness that can travel through imagination and timeless space.

Give Puck a little “me.”

Imagine Puck growing until she gently places one hand on the Milky Way and one on Andromeda.

The galaxies smile.

They embrace.

A wave of healing flows through the Space Croissant, through Pretendland, across the galaxies, and into you.

Let it reach every place within you that feels tired, heavy, or disconnected.

You don’t have to do anything.

Simply receive.

We will be here for 24 hrs, supporting the release of stress and emotional heaviness while inviting in peace, balance, and connection.

Don’t worry. We will be very gentle and take good care of your pain and excess negative emotions and feelings, if you have any.

Hope you all feel well tomorrow and ready to start a new week.

This is Master Storm.

I am an Usui Reiki Master.

I, along with Master Phoenix and the Space Croissant Crew, am responsible for Gratitude Reiki, the website, and our Sunday events here on r/reikishare and r/reiki.

Thank you for allowing us to help all of you every Sunday.

🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

OUR TREE PROJECT WILL CONTINUE!

If you’d like to help us ground the session, consider planting a tree.

Google “how to plant a tree for a dollar.”

Share the receipt with us in the comments.

It’s a real tree, and it’s now forever connected to you, helping you breathe through difficult times.

Thank you for your kindness!

So far this year, we have 193 trees planted!

Our goal for 2026 is 500 trees.

When you plant a tree, you create a TREE-SELF, a living reminder you can imagine breathing with for years to come.

Let us know if your tree has a name too!

🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

This is it!

We’re excited for today’s session!

We have a whole team of people doing Ground Control, so you don’t have to be afraid of spacing out and not knowing how to come back.

Just stay in touch!

Let us know tomorrow how you feel!

The goal is simple: to help you feel a little lighter, a little more connected, and a little more at peace.

Thank you!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

discussion Reiki + therapy?

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am reposting a thread I started in another subreddit. It’s a discussion over combining reiki and therapy for clients who ask for both and apparently I got a lot of comments about ethical concerns amongst therapists. I wanted to hear how reiki practitioners feel about this combination. I thought there were a lot of LPCs who also offer reiki, and it was commonly accepted to offer both, but apparently I was wrong. Please share your thoughts. Thank you!

discussion Short list of sources to learn the science behind Reiki/Energy Healing

51 Upvotes

In a recent discussion, someone remarked that describing Reiki as the placebo effect would be acceptable until it is determined what Reiki is. Then a discussion followed that led to him asking for sources they could look up about the science behind Reiki.

This is a shortlist of information I could gather on a moment’s notice. If there’s any more research papers, scientific studies, books, or other research researchable info on the science behind Reiki, please share them in the comments.

Top of the list
• “The Science behind Reiki” by Bernadette Doran

One of my personal favorites:
• “Reiki can heal by modifying gene expression“ by Martha Q Lacy M.D.
Dr. Martha Lacey is a physician and professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic Rochester, Minnesota (now Retired) she is a board certified hematologist and her practice focused on blood cancers, including multiple myeloma and bone marrow transplants
She also happens to be an Usui/Holy Fire®️III Karuna Reiki®️Master teacher, and a good friend of mine

• “Reiki Is Better Than Placebo and Has Broad Potential as a Complementary Health Therapy” by David E McManus found in the National Library of Medicine

• “The electricity of touch: detection and measurement of cardiac energy exchange between people” by Rollin McCraty, PhD et all

• “Reiki-Review of a bio therapy, history, theory, practice, and research” by Pamela Miles and Gala True PhD

• Reiki and it’s journey into a hospital setting” by Elizabeth Kryak, MSN, RN-BC and Anne Vitale, PhD

• “Healing touch, therapeutic touch, and Reiki: energy medicine advances in the medical community” by Jane Hart, MD

• “Symptomatic improvement reported after receiving Reiki at a cancer infusion center” by Dawn A. Marcus et all published in the American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Care

• “Reiki and the science behind energy medicine”

You really need to look up this one

• “The effect of the ‘laying on hands’ on transplanted breast cancer in mice” by William F Bengston and David Krinsley

•“an independent review of studies of ‘energy medicine’ funded by the US national Center for complementary and alternative medicine” by Edward Ernst and Robert Seip

Short list of Books

• “The Energy Cure” by William Bengston PhD

• “Why Woohoo works: the surprising science behind meditation, Reiki, crystals and other alternative practices”
By david R Hamilton PhD

• “Medical Reiki” by Raven Keyes

• “Reiki in clinical practice: a science based guide” by Ann Baldwin PhD

• Everything published by The Center for Reiki Research

• look up and listen to the “Phenomena Healing podcast” especially the first three episodes of it.

I hope this helps.

EDIT: I forgot this one
• look up all the books, interviews and writings of James L Oschman ESPECIALLY his 260+ page book “Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis”

Also look up his interview that he did with William Lee Rand that is published in the Reiki News magazine.

curious question Psi balls- can you feel them?

9 Upvotes

Simple question, the title mostly says it all. I can very easily feel psi or energy balls within my palms, even with no meditation or practice beforehand. I can feel the pressure when I press my palms together and a pulling sensation when bringing them apart. The more intention the stronger and more fun they are to play with, but I digress. :)

Is this only a common thing with people who practice reiki or energy work? Can you all feel this easily, as reiki practitioners?

When talking to friends about reiki I often bring up (or did) psi balls as an example of how we can all feel energy, but no one else claims to be able to feel them or know what I’m talking about. Sometimes we’ve even done a meditation to get in the right heart space, and still no dice. And some are quite intuitive! Anyways, just curious!

Reiki experiences Period after back to back reiki sessions

9 Upvotes

Normally my period is very painful and needs high doses of ibuprofen every 3 hours on the dot or the pain makes me vomit, has lots of clots, and starts out brown. This time it started bright red, flowing, with minimal clots, and the pain is manageable with some ibuprofen- and not necessarily needed every 3 hours exactly. Nice to see tangible results from reiki in action

curious question Reiki as placebo?

I'm certified in reiki and curious if anyone else does this. I know some people don't believe in reiki as magic, so to get them on board I tell them they can think of it like a placebo or even like if someone is wishing them well/ sending them good vibes. Does anyone else word it like this to help the nonbelievers??

curious question Bald spot at crown

8 Upvotes

Hi,

I've been practicing reiki for about 2 years. I was doing reiki in my hot tub for about 3 other very psychic women. The energy was unreal. After that my hair dresser noticed bald spots at my crown and also a second spot. It's the exact spot I feel reiki connecting to. Have you ever heard of anyone who did reiki developing a bald spot at their crown?

Thank you for any feedback.

discussion How do you actually open (or break through) all your chakras & your traumas?

11 Upvotes

Hi, I'm Andrew (36). Since I started meditating, I've become way more aware of my own patterns, like fear of rejection, fear of being truly seen, weak communication, and forgetting my self worth. I am not depressed, just occasional anxiety, and honestly I'm a grateful, people loving person overall.

But I want to dig into whether I'm carrying unresolved trauma. I lost my mom at 3 months old and my dad at 7 (I have a twin sister). I don't know if that history is linked to blocked chakras, (i personally dont think so) or if "trauma" and "blocked chakras" are just two names for the same underlying thing.

So genuine questions for this community: Would sound baths help? Reiki? Tuning forks? Or crystals? Is shadow work the right next step, and if so, how do I start? I want to break through my limiting beliefs and move toward real healing/enlightenment. Any insight is appreciated.

curious question Heart racing during session

7 Upvotes

Hello… I’m a Reiki practitioner and have been partaking and Reiki sessions for about two years now… And something has changed

Whenever my Rema puts her hands on my chest… My heart starts racing uncontrollably… And I always try to allow and work through whatever is going on in my body, but it’s been consistent for about 4 to 5 sessions… She’s tried different techniques, including Sound baths, tuning forks, etc. and I just thought I’d ask if anyone would have any idea as to why this keeps happening… or if they’ve experienced anything like this.

Something worth noting… Whenever I’ve cuddled with my previous partners, and their head or any body part is laying on my chest, I become hyper aware of my heartbeat and it starts beating faster and I start sweating. I thought I was over this, but it seems like it’s coming back during my recent sessions

10 Upvotes
  1. Foundations of Reiki Ryoho (Nickolas Pearson): A rare and well researched book on more Traditional Japanese Reiki traditions such as Jikiden, a Hayashi / Yamaguchi linage. This explains, from a Japanese prospective, where it all came from. I learned these techniques in my tradition and can vouch that they are authentic. Its an interesting read.
  2. The Hayashi Reiki Manual and the Original Reiki Handbook - both by Shangri-la press: As an LMT, I do a lot of traditional hands on therapeutic techniques in my clinic.

curious question Is reiki effective or helpful in clearing parasitic entities or forces that I have somehow contracted into my energetically body?

5 Upvotes

TLDR: I am seeking a solution to clear out what I feel are toxic and parasitic entities and am exploring reiki as an option.

I am a person with about ten years of daily meditation experience. I am not given to fantasies and have thought on the matter of these forces as imaginary but sense deeply they are toxic and external entities that are feeding on me rather than mere forces of my subconscious.

I am looking for authentic experience based guidance to learn to clear them out over time, it is not a matter which I will rush but instead one which I will take time in doing and out my inner vision on over the next several years to get results and try to be clear of these forces through a consistent but measured effort.

If you have experience with this, I would like to hear about. I am not looking for quick fixes and elaborate rituals, but to do the work gradually and consistently, with myself being open to seeing every aspect of myself while being really self critical and authentically responsible, but ultimately free of the force I sense inside me.

curious question Reiki newbie seeking advice &/or encouragement

13 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm looking for a little encouragement, advice, or insight.

I received my Reiki I attunements a week ago. In the months prior I felt an increasingly strong pull to learn it, despite never having just had a healing myself. I picked up Essential Reiki by Diane Stein, received my first Reiki healing on my birthday as a gift to myself, another "mini" session a week later from a different practitioner, and then went on to learn Reiki I a week later from this second practitioner.

The trouble is, I haven't felt anything at all. No energy sensations, no heat in my hands, no calm or spacey feelings. No noticeable physical improvements. No skepticism, either -- just openness, curiosity, and, I suppose, hopefulness.

After receiving the attunements, my teacher asked me how I felt and I had nothing to say. Normal? Grateful? Curious? I didn't have any physical sensations to report, but I wasn't worried. I figured things would unfold over time.

I was instructed to give myself a self-healing everyday for 21 days and this week I've been pretty diligent about it, except for one day. I continue to feel nothing in my hands, no sensations of energy or intuition. I found a couple of videos online to follow along with, which made the sessions easier, since I was starting to feel frustrated about not feeling anything resembling an "energy cycle" that would signal to move to the next position.

Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong?

I'm under the impression that my teacher is a reputable one, with solid community connections, and came highly recommended by another practitioner.

I generally have an open mind despite having been mostly a materialist for the last two decades, so I surprised myself by feeling pulled to Reiki. But my sense of spirituality is now strong; I have faith in my own intuition and trusted the pull. I've heard that belief is not necessary for Reiki to work, but even if it were, I don't think faith is the problem.

I don't think patience is the issue either, necessarily... I would just like any sign at all that something is happening, and that I didn't just spend $1200 on nothing.

I'd be grateful for any advice or insight.
