The Reiki Digest: Help! My Reiki isn't working!

The Reiki Digest: Help! My Reiki isn't working!
When you feel your Reiki isn't working, or you can't feel what you expect to feel, just keep doing daily self-practice.

Rid your mind of all concepts of what you think you should be experiencing, and listen to the slightest of sensations anywhere in your body. Don't dismiss anything you feel as 'just normal' feelings. The more you place your awareness on the subtle tingling/vibrations/heat/coolness, whatever you feel, no matter how small and seemingly insignificant, the more you will enjoy it.

We have become so dense in many ways. It is our sensitivity which needs more fine tuning, by our acknowledgement. The Reiki energy itself is always there - so long as we are alive!

I never feel heat in my hands and I've been practicing for nearly a year. I used to doubt my ability, but I persisted. Now it can be quite blissful, lying in bed and feeling the lovely, lovely healing in my body under my hands. Aaaah! Like sinking into a delicious energy bath. Then my heart fills with gratitude and the experience is heightened.

I'm not saying I can expect this every time, but most times, so long as I have put that space aside with intention it is there. Find also, your best time to be responsive. And of course, nothing can replace quiet, undisturbed space.

Learn to let go to twitching, electrical responses in your body. Move, go beyond your inhibitions. Those subtle, subtle sensations will soon become charged and active by practice. Be open to anything and accept, go with it, and Reiki will be there for you. It is such a rewarding and exciting journey.

Namaste, Rose
