The Reiki Healing Connection - Aid and Failsafe

Anyone who has experienced Reiki, be it giving or receiving, knows the Reiki healing connection. When a Reiki practitioner is giving Reiki to someone, an energy connection is formed between them.

While this may seem either creepy or matter-of-fact to you (depending on your perspective), when you stop and look at what's going on, it's actually pretty impressive.

The connection formed between Reiki practitioner and client does several things. Firstly, it provides protections so that the practitioner cannot be damaged by the energy problems of the client. This may sound callous, but remember that the Reiki practitioner is there to help. The protection is there to help them stay healthy and capable of helping people.

That said, the Reiki healing connection does not form the energy equivalent of a brick wall. Indeed, the connection formed makes the practitioner acutely aware of the energy flow of the client, and will often pick up on the emotions and images that the client is experiencing.

This makes the connection vital for Reiki distance healing, as it is this connection which is the basis for the energy healing. The Reiki healing symbols have some part in forming and maintaining that connection as well. However, simply forming a connection is not enough.

Practice, and dedication are key.

Like all skills, this doesn't usually just pop into excellence. It takes determination and trust for this to develop.

Most people are ok with letting the Reiki energy protect them while they are giving Reiki to a client, but many people today have difficulty accepting data from anywhere but their physical senses. This presents a huge problem when trying to get a sense of the problem.

Furthermore, most people never clear out their own emotional/energetic garbage. In order for this to work at its best, you have to get your mind clear. I do not simply mean to relax and shrug off what's been happening to you today. For this I mean making a practice of letting go of your old hurts and nonsense that most of us just let pile up.

If an energy healer, be it a Reiki practitioner or any kind of healer for that matter, wants to help people, he or she must keep working on themselves so when the Reiki healing connection does bring up an energetic sore spot on someone, they will recognize it for what it is, instead of mistaking it for something from the practitioner's past.

The good news is that anyone studying energy healing is already being given the very tools they need to mend themselves. As they do, they find that they are able to move greater amounts of energy for healing. They find that they are able to notice more intricate details about emotional and energetic problems, both in themselves and others. In short, they find that they become better healers.

All Energy Healing Practices Benefit From "Healing Thyself"

I know I started out this page talking about the Reiki healing connection, but I wanted to point out that although Reiki has this "built-in", with practice, you can get the same level of perception in all healing modes.

Once you first notice the connection that forms between an energy healer and the recipient, you are taking important steps to being much more effective as a healer.
