Hi NewBeginnings,
When we first learn Reiki, each person experiences things differently. This can be down to their existing lifestyle, health etc. Reiki sort of awakens us to what we need to deal with, so if we have emotional issues, we can find these coming to the surface in order that we deal with them; if we have "toxins" (using the term loosely) in our body we can find that we start to expell these and may feel ill for a while or come out in spots etc.
How do you feel that tiredness plays a part in your life? Perhaps you are constantly active and the Reiki is waking you up to the fact that you need to take time out to rest occassionaly.
The feeling of heaviness could be that you've spent a lot of time not feeling grounded and now the Reiki has brought you back down to earth so to speak.
Keep up the self-healing, keep a record of how you feel, and discuss this with your Reiki Master the next time you speak to them.
Love and Reiki Hugs
feeling alot better now,heavy feeling has lifted,i know our reiki master said any changes would occur withen the first 3 days,and yes i am normally a very busy so the being grounded makes alot of sense,

First three DAYS? :confused: That's a new one to me, LOL, are you sure your RM didn't say three WEEKS, which would fit in with the 21-day detox which some people experience.

Agreed.
which would fit in with the 21-day detox which some people experience.
Which is a myth anyway, based on the 21 days of meditation Usui did on Mt. Kurama.
😉
With respect Giles, the 21-day detox is not a myth, as you put it, it is something which is experienced by SOME people, as I said... not all, by any means ... whatever its basis. 😉
Holistic
With respect, the myth is that it lasts for 21 days and there are still Reiki Masters out there who teach that you should do self-healing for 21 days. This is nonesense, as Self Healing is something that should be done every day regardless. The 'detox', 'clearing', 'healing crisis' or whatever you want to refer to it as, that comes to the surface when we start doing Reiki could be subtle, or very noticable and may last for a short time of for a long time. It has nothing to do with 21 days.
Love and Reiki Hugs
Please point me to where I said anything about NOT self healing every day! :rolleyes:
That aside, I think we're now getting off-topic and into semantics and 'shoulding', so I shall return to the thread if newbeginnings wishes to respond to my query above 😉
Holistic
Hi all, I did my Reiki course not long ago. I was told the cleansing process lasts as long as it needs to depending on my own circumstances and how much self healing I do. There was no mention of a 21 day limit, and I too was told self healing is everyday for life. Self healing is lovely, I can't understand why any Reiki person would choose not to self heal everyday. Isn't that why people learn Reiki?
Reiki blessings
Absolutely Jules. 😉

hi holistic
sorry my mistake ,rm said we should self heal every day,but after the attunements we may get the biggest reaction within the first 3 days when the chakras re-align themselves,and that some people have no reaction at all,hope that clears things up for you holistic,was extremely tired when i posted that,my apoligies for any confusion,:o
Thanks for clarifying, newbeginnings, and I assure you there's no need to apologise. Glad to know you're feeling less tired now 🙂

Hi newbeginnings,
I just saw this thread for the first time...
First of all..congratulations on your new Reiki journey.. :hug:
What you are feeling is very normal after the attunements...Your body needs to adjust to the new energies...
The cleansing or healing period is different for everyone...some people experience everything at once in the first few days or weeks...others don't feel anything at all...while others will start after many months or even years...
It all depends in how you feel the energy...and many other variables...
The advice I offer to people going through this is very simple...
Just listen to your body...and be good to yourself...
The following are some of the things that have worked for me...
** Drink plenty of water...to get the toxins out of your body...
** Follow a light diet...your body will start telling you what to eat... ~remember:listen to your body~...
** Avoid alcohol...nicotine...cafeine... and proccessed foods...switch to natural fresh food...veggies and fruit...
** Spend time outdoors...in a quiet place...take a long slow walk in a park...listen to the birds...In other words...spend time with... and enjoy mother nature...
** Get plenty of rest and sleep...you might find you need that more now...If you are tired...rest...If you are sleeppy...take a nap...
** Give yourself a Reiki treatment every day...I do it at night...and sleep like a baby...
Enjoy the wonderfull gift you have been given...your life will change in amazing ways...
Love and Reiki Hugs

Hello Newbeginnings,
I'm so sorry for the long time it took me to get back to you... but even Reiki Masters get sidelined sometimes by unavoidable things...
In my case... sciatica...so painful... it won't let me sit for more than a few minutes at a time... :fit: :012:
You asked me if ten minutes were enough...
My answer to that is yes...
Many people feel you should do long treatments every time...and don't like short ones...
I...on the other hand...am grateful for any lenght of time...long or short...and on me...short works very well...thank you...
Every night I give myself a treatment after getting in bed for the night...
I turn on my very soft music at a barely audible level...and let it play all night...I turn off the lights...get comfortable and start my Reiki treatment...
Some nights...I am asleep after just a few minutes...but the benefits stay with me through the night...
My advice to you is don't try too hard...enjoy your wonderful gift and relax..
Loving thoughts to you
