Hello everyone,
I am Reiki Level II practitioner and has just been give Reiki treatment to my sister in law twice. She complains of a sharp pain just below her chest/upper abdoman everytime I place my hands on her chest. The pain dissipated once my hands were removed from her chest. This happens everytime she receives Reiki (twice). I have tried to look up symptoms and interpreting symtoms but fear that my inexperience would only cause her confusion (my confusion too!). I have look through old threads in this forum, but haven't found. In general, she normally suffers from migraine and terrible back pain. Thank you in advance.

Hi Sophiline58 🙂
I have had similar healings where the closer my hands got to a patient the more Intense the pain became . Sometimes a patient would feel fine after the healing but then for up to 3 days after the healing they could feel ten times worse than they ever did . . (before they felt better) lol .
Sometimes the patient wouldn’t feel anything at all . There’s so many reasons as to why patients feel or don’t feel anything .
It seems (In my experience) the more pain and heat felt the more the energies are working on a physical level .
Diagnosis Is always going to a bit tricky unless your channel Is really open and clear . Sometimes a patient can feel pain In an area that Is not the origin of the problem . If the energies are drawing you to the chest/upper abdomen then I would say you are getting a direct response / Indication to where the energy Is needed . . So all Is good . Well done . . .

Hi Sophiline58 and daz
It is my understanding that if we are practising Reiki (certainly Usui Reiki Ryoho) we have no need to diagnose anything! Indeed many Reiki Practitioner Code of Ethics state that Reiki practitioners should not diagnosis (unless they are medically qualified to do so).
In my experience, sensations felt by the practitioner are indications that a particular area requires more Reiki - we don't need to know why as it is ultimately the client's healing/repair systems that will do what is necessary as a result of the Reiki stimulus.
Sensations felt by clients (unless they are symptoms of an existing condition that the client experienced before the Reiki session) are indications to the client that changes are taking place in their own biofield as the healing process begins. If the sensations are unpleasant for the client then it may be a good idea to do several shorter sessions but such sensations are usually a good sign that healing is underway. Healing is not always a pain-free experience!
As you say, daz, clients sometimes feel worse before they get better! 🙂
Colin 🙂
What sensations did you experience when you hands were on the chest area?
Could there by a blockage around the heart/solar plexus area, that needs a little extra reiki attention to help rebalance? Does you sister in law have any particular worries at this time relating to home, loved ones?
I am a level 1, due to start my level 2 shortly, I had a similar experience with my husband, I placed my hands in the chest area and he reported feeling a pain on his left side. We could only relate it to his family history that need to be addressed. He only encountered this the one time.
Hello Daz, Collin and Meadowsweet
Many thanks for your great insights. I totally agree that one doesn't need to try to diagnose the client, but I think sometime it helps for reiki practitioner to understand the sensation and its cause so you can work out what else needs to be done for the client. In my experience, I think there is also an expectation from the receiver for you to provide some explanation on any sensation being felt. With explanation and greater understanding, they can try look inside themselves and understand what are deeper emotional issues in their life (which are surfaced in the form of symptoms they received during Reiki). So, I think this essentially is not me trying to diagnose. In a way, I feel like the treatment could be developed into some kind of theraputic counseling at the same time. Of course I do not wish to cause confusion and misleading them and has been avoid explaining things coz I really don't know!
To meadowsweet, I think you are spot on, the lady I gave Reiki has some domestic issue and I think she is worried about her daughter who is not quite settled in her life just yet. I felt tingling sensation in my hands, but upon questioning about respiratory problem she said she doesn't have any but she can't help noticing the upper abdominal pain whenever I put my hands her on chest. I hope you have a lovely experience on Reiki II. I have just been newly attuned myself
Glad to have been able to help, with my suggestion, it was just the point of the pain that to me indicated family worries.
I've really enjoyed the level 1 Reiki attunement and I've been bouncing round pretty much since. lol.
I'm really looking forward to doing my level 2 attunement now, and continuing to learn and use all that Reiki has to offer. It just feels right.
Love & light

Hello Sophiline58 Collin and Meadowsweet 🙂
In reference to the diagnosis conversation .
I would say that each healing brings with It the necessary energies and Information that Is required . Perhaps one patient knowing of their condition would cause them worry and would have more of a negative effect than not knowing would .
The Intelligence behind the universal energy be It direct or through healing guides all ready know how the patient would react to such news I would say .
Of course the healer doesn’t have to pass on such Information In such a way that would cause the patient worry and perhaps could recommend certain foods/crystals/herbs (although one has to be qualified nowadays In order to do so)
Certain herbs, conditions come to mind and certain spiritual advise Is presented to me at times but I am not qualified In these fields to say anything but the energies that work with me and most healers are more than qualified are they not . lol . Many of the spirit energies have spent there past Incarnation/s working In medical/holistic/natural healing fields .
I understand that government / healing bodies have rules In place to safeguard the public from charlatans but these organizations have “no right” In dictating or limiting the expression of what goes on within a healing session that Is of the union of God/universal/guardians/angels energy and the patient / healer ..
Perhaps those that give healing from now on could have their hands tied behind their backs their mouth gagged, eyes blindfolded whilst hopping on one leg like a circus act .
Oh!! that’s right much of what Is known as spiritual expression Is now stated as for “entertainment purposes only” ha ha
And yet the government over the years have always had top notch psychics In their pockets haven’t they . . HHmm Was that for entertainment purposes only - I would say not .. he he .
So to wrap this up I would say that If any form of diagnosis presents It’s self to the healer then their could possibly be a reason for that happening . What the healer must do Is work out within themselves how they will use that Information wisely . .
There are no limitations rules or regulations that (God) has put on the natural art of healing . . Only man has done so . .

Hello Sophiline58, daz and Meadowsweet
The traditional way of practising Reiki is very simple: the Reiki practitioner simply places his or her hands on (or above) the client, (either following a pattern of hand positions or focusing on areas where there are symptoms or the practitioner can feel something (hibiki from a byosen)). This provides the stimulus for the client's own healing and repair mechanisms to bring their body (and/or mind) back into balance.
There is really no need for either party to know what is going on or what to do with information received. As Chiyoko Yamaguchi (a student of Chujiro Hayashi and mother of my Reiki Teacher) said: "you place your hands on and people get better!".
Reiki works best without the ego getting in the way. 🙂
However, if a practitioner is also a trained counsellor, crystal therapist, nutritionist, medical physician etc. then, yes, all of that expertise may be brought into play as well but Reiki practitioners are safest when they stick to Reiki. Then there is much less for us and the client to worry about! 🙂

The traditional way of practising Reiki is very simple:
Hi colin 🙂
I agree colin that keeping things simple at times Is most advantageous .
What one has to entertain within this evaluation of simplicity though Is that what can be performed effortlessly by one Individual could become most difficult for another . Healing with a clear mind or healing with a spirit doctor that’s chatting away In your ear can be equally effortless .
When you mention a “traditional” way of practicing reiki It perhaps suggests restriction . Having a “traditional” christmas dinner does not entertain the possibility of having spaghetti bolognese on the menu for us here In the U.K. ha ha . You see what I mean though . .
I mentioned earlier somewhere that any form of healing cannot have conditions, restrictions, “traditions” applied to them . These are all man made . You cannot suppress anyone's expression . As like no-one can teach another to heal because It’s to do with each Individuals unique essence and vibration that’s unfolding and expressing In a way that cannot be contained or moulded Into how man can suggest It to .
There is really no need for either party to know what is going on or what to do with information received. As Chiyoko Yamaguchi (a student of Chujiro Hayashi and mother of my Reiki Teacher) said: "you place your hands on and people get better!".
Yes at times colin there Is no need, at times there Is every need . Each Individuals healing will contain what Is right for them .
Reiki works best without the ego getting in the way.
I agree that when the ego Is the Influence behind one’s Intentions then whatever one Is doing or thinking will not have the same effect as to one that Is coming from a place of love .
However, if a practitioner is also a trained counsellor, crystal therapist, nutritionist, medical physician etc. then, yes, all of that expertise may be brought into play as well but Reiki practitioners are safest when they stick to Reiki. Then there is much less for us and the client to worry about!
I understand that colin, but playing safe Is also a restriction that has come about because of man . Playing safe or healing within any guidelines are restrictions upon our natural expression .
This world has always suppressed spiritual expression In some shape or form . The red tape nowadays Is Increasing day by day . It’s such a shame on one hand . Perhaps our compensation nation that Is In expression nowadays doesn’t help therapists / doctors . lol .

Hi daz 🙂
If one is offering their services as a practitioner of Usui Reiki Ryoho, and the client is given to believe that they are going to receive a Reiki session, then the client should receive a Reiki session. If a practitioner is psychic, sensitive etc. or is also a qualified practitioner in other arts and they feel the client may also benefit from those skills in addition to a Reiki session then this should either be made clear to the client after the Reiki session (or before if the practitioner intends to use other means than simply Usui Reiki Ryoho during the session).
There are no "restrictions" to Reiki itself and any "restrictions" on the healing process will come from the client not the practitioner. A Reiki session provides the client with an opportunity to return towards a state of balance. The role of a Reiki practitioner is to offer that opportunity to the client through their Reiki touch and their Reiki training. It is not the role of the Reiki practitioner to diagnose or interfere with the healing process that may occur in the client.
This is not a matter of "playing safe" it is a matter of maintaining a clear understanding of what is part of a Reiki session and what belongs to other skills a Reiki practitioner may also happen to possess. If a client has given their permission for a Reiki session then the practitioner should give the client a Reiki session. If they have given their permission for a Reiki session, during which the practitioner may decide to use other techniques as directed by what the practitioner (or a "spirit doctor that’s chatting away In your ear") decides then OK. However, it is then no longer simply a Reiki session and the skills which may come into play will be determined by the additional training and experience (or psychic abilities) of the practitioner and the client should be appropriately informed.
There is already a lot of confusion as to what constitutes the practice of Reiki and what has been added in by various Reiki teachers and practitioners. Therefore it may help the client and other Reiki practitioners (who may not possess the same additional training and/or skills) if the practice of Reiki and additional practices outside the scope of the training many Reiki practitioners are clearly delineated and discussed separately.
The practice of Reiki is safe and has no contraindications as it is non-invasive, non-manipulative, does not require the ingestion or application of any substances and does not involve any diagnosis. Once the practitioner moves outside this practice of Reiki then it depends upon the additional training and experience of the practitioner as to whether the practice (which is then no longer simply Reiki) remains safe and free from contraindications.
As a, perhaps extreme and fanciful, example: imagine going to watch a soccer match where 22 professional soccer players are all playing by the rules but then one player who has had additional training in karate thinks he can make it easier for his team to win if he starts to incapacitate members of the opposing team. The game would no longer be soccer (or as safe as a normal soccer game), and both the opposing team and the spectators (as well as the referee!) would be completely confused! However, at a karate tournament, that same player could help his team to win (and entertain the spectators) by applying his skills more appropriately. If a new game was developed that incorporated both soccer and karate skills then that player could really excel but it would no longer be soccer!

Hi colin thanks for the reply . . . 🙂
I understand your thoughts here colin I really do . Perhaps It would be In line with calling up a plumber to fix your leaky tap and you get a footballer turn up . So yes I understand that If an Individual turns up for reiki then reiki Is probably what’s on the menu and that’s what there going to get .
But what happens when an Individual Is channeling reiki and an angel pops In and wishes to channel It’s essence through you . . would you say “sorry love I am a reiki healer” or would you allow yourself to be open to what presents It’s self within the moment . That’s kinda the point I am making . If someone goes to an Italian restaurant then they assume they’ll have meat balls and pasta on the menu . There’s nothing wrong with that but what that Implies Is that - whether It’s reiki, football, or whatever then there are going to be restrictions and possibly rules that will apply to each of them .
There is also nothing wrong with going to an Italian restaurant and having a mexican side dish and there’s nothing wrong with having reiki and working with an alien If one pops In lol . If we don’t contain our minds sets with any field of (spiritual) work then I can see that will only benefit the Individual rather than not .
This Is a genuine question to all healers “how do you know what you are channeling”
I didn’t know for sure what I have been channeling from time to time until the energies presented themselves . So perhaps an Individual that turns up for reiki Isn’t getting reiki . . . ehe he . (I am sure many are though)
As a, perhaps extreme and fanciful, example: imagine going to watch a soccer match where 22 professional soccer players are all playing by the rules but then one player who has had additional training in karate thinks he can make it easier for his team to win if he starts to incapacitate members of the opposing team.

If a new game was developed that incorporated both soccer and karate skills then that player could really excel but it would no longer be soccer!
In a football match (and I know It’s only an example you have chosen) It Is about competition and winning, It Is about being better than your opponent . In healing It Is all about what Is best for the patient (hey) If an energy presents It’s self and Is not aligned with what we know as reiki, then perhaps It would be best to allow what happens happen .
Thanks for your thoughts on this colin .

Now, this is where we probably start to diverge in our way of understanding the practice of Reiki 🙂
I know my theory may seem strange or different and I am not saying it is definitely what happens but it is what I, and many other Reiki practitioners, currently believe happens. 🙂
I do not believe that during a Reiki session we are "channelling" anything from outside of ourselves - nor should we be, especially if we are not sure what it is we are channelling into the client! 😮
If, as is commonly believed Reiki is Universal then it must be everywhere already, by definition, so how can it travel from A to B if it is already there?
Hawayo Takata said that the "true energy" comes from within. This "true energy" is our true nature, or pure consciousness, divine nature or the Buddha within (or some other similar term). When we place our Reiki hands on or near a system which is out of balance (or even acknowledge our connection with someone that is not physically present as in absent healing) then this consciousness can be thought of as a pulsation that creates a healing response, which moves the unbalanced system back towards balance by stimulating the physical and non-physical healing and repair mechanisms of the client appropriately.
The source of this pulsation or emanation is Reiki and the pulsation can be thought of as moving through the medium of Reiki like a soundwave through the air. The frequency of this pulsation depends upon the needs of the client or whatever is needed at that particular time to move towards balance.
Everyone can "do" Reiki because everyone already has Reiki - it's just that most people need an attunement/initiation to allow themselves to realise that.
Yes, some healers channel various subtle energies but this is not Reiki, although some of these subtle energies may be stimulated or affected during a Reiki session. However, the Reiki practitioner is only required to be present to enable the process described above to occur. I like to state it as "Ki flows, Reiki glows!"
To answer your other question about what would I do if "an angel pops In and wishes to channel It’s essence through" me, I would be very wary because I believe that a true angel or "spiritual helper" would only intervene if asked to do so by the practitioner. Angel healing and spirit healing (and I don't mean spiritual healing) are not the same as Reiki healing and require different training and ways of working.
In a football match (and I know It’s only an example you have chosen) It Is about competition and winning, It Is about being better than your opponent . In healing It Is all about what Is best for the patient (hey) If an energy presents It’s self and Is not aligned with what we know as reiki, then perhaps It would be best to allow what happens happen .
Again, if an energy presents itself and is not aligned with what we know as Reiki, I would be extremely wary - not all energies are beneficial! 😮
Thanks for your thoughts on this colin .

No problem. Thank you for the opportunity to express my thoughts.
I just want to re-iterate that I am not saying that your way of working is wrong - it is just different to what I understand as Reiki practice.

Hi Colin (me again!!) . 😮
Perhaps on one level as we are all one there Is nothing outside of ourselves . I understand and resonate with being Individual as In not being separate or Independent from the whole - this Is where I assume you are coming from when mentioning not channeling anything from outside yourself . When you mention “nor should we be” that Is another restriction placed upon the art of reiki .
If I was to hypothetically speaking buy a bottle of “reiki aftershave” . lol . what would be the key Ingredients?
If, as is commonly believed Reiki is Universal then it must be everywhere already, by definition, so how can it travel from A to B if it is already there?
A great question colin . 🙂 What we are Is present . What we are Is all there Is and yet many Individuals do not acknowledge / realize / remember that this Is so . If you apply that scenario with the universal energy question you made then what needs to happen I would say on some level Is to acknowledge and become aware of just that . There’s plenty of blocks and barriers placed within mind that blinds us from such things . . I suppose one just needs to keep peeling back the layers and removing what obstructs us from what we are and the energies that are a part of what we are .
"true energy" comes from within. This "true energy" is our true nature, or pure consciousness, divine nature or the Buddha within (or some other similar term)
In reference to this quote I would say that It all has to do with our Individual essence (although we are all the same essence primarily) It’s just about our essences expression / frequency / vibration . In that respect the more we are In expression of the self the purer the energy that Is within and that Is expressed without . So yes I can relate to your term true energy comes from within In the way you have described .
To answer your other question about what would I do if "an angel pops In and wishes to channel It’s essence through" me, I would be very wary because I believe that a true angel or "spiritual helper" would only intervene if asked to do so by the practitioner. Angel healing and spirit healing (and I don't mean spiritual healing) are not the same as Reiki healing and require different training and ways of working.
I would agree that It Is widely known that angels can help others when they are asked, but on a conscious level how does the healer know that they haven’t already asked for help on a subconscious level . In one respect I don’t agree with angels only helping when asked . That’s just another condition . lol .
When you said that you would be wary If an angel popped In whilst doing a reiki session I understand that not every energy comes with good Intentions and at times these type of energies love to disrupt a lightworkers work, but you do get to sense/feel as to whether the energies are of love or not wouldn’t you say .
So lets say a good angel presented It’s self whilst you are doing healing would you let the angel assist you In the healing process or would you confine yourself to your beliefs In how reiki should be done .
I just want to re-iterate that I am not saying that your way of working is wrong - it is just different to what I understand as Reiki practice.
Absolutely colin I didn’t think for a minute you were suggesting that my way of working Is wrong and the same goes for me In that your way Is not wrong . The way each of us work healing wise Is right for us In this moment . My healing work has changed and evolved In practice and understandings many many times, and perhaps It will continue to do so . . .
Thank-you again for a respectful debate . 🙂

Hello everyone,
I am Reiki Level II practitioner and has just been give Reiki treatment to my sister in law twice. She complains of a sharp pain just below her chest/upper abdoman everytime I place my hands on her chest. The pain dissipated once my hands were removed from her chest. This happens everytime she receives Reiki (twice). I have tried to look up symptoms and interpreting symtoms but fear that my inexperience would only cause her confusion (my confusion too!). I have look through old threads in this forum, but haven't found. In general, she normally suffers from migraine and terrible back pain. Thank you in advance.
If something is damaged in the area you are treating it will cause physical pain as the healing occurs. She might want to get her GP to check the area you have been treating.

Personally I don't believe this at all, Reiki is all about beautiful healing deep within, whether there is something physically wrong or not, that should not show through as pain during reiki healing. My goodness I have a number of health problems and if feeling pain was the case I would be running out of the therapy room fast...
Hi Sophiline58 🙂
It seems (In my experience) the more pain and heat felt the more the energies are working on a physical level .

Arrrrgggghhh no no no 😮
Hello everyone,
She complains of a sharp pain just below her chest/upper abdoman everytime I place my hands on her chest. The pain dissipated once my hands were removed from her chest. .
Either her energy needs balancing in that area and her way for now is responding in this way, or she has some muscular or other physical problem in that area and the hands on this area are aggravating it. Try doing it with your hands only in the aura above the body and see if that changes.
hmmmmm
I hesitate to say "I'm a anything". It sounds pompous. But I am a master teacher in 2 traditions of Reiki and when a 3...4 X master teacher was giving me a treatment...I had severe pain. At one point when he had his hands over one side of my body...the pain broke up into sparkles that came out of the other side of me. I laughed my behind off.
At one point of this treatment, other visitors put their hands under my back at the opposite of the side he was working on. I'm laying there thinking "How many hands does this guy have?". So I looked and there was no one else there? But there were 3 pairs of hands on me. Who were they...not a clue.
At the end... a voice told me a couple of things: "No" and "there are lessons to be learned". So what is ok to happen in a Reiki sesson? I think the universe decides that. Should we diagnose medical problems? Not unless you are a doctor or a medical intuitive working with a licensed physician... should you reveal impressions you recieved during a healing? Well ask your client if they want to know? If you are sensitive enough to get impressions or information about this person? You are sensitive enough to know whether to keep it to yourself or tell them. My opinion...Which means less than nothing because I still feel like I know close to nothing.
I can read 5 books a week and never catch up. I am now studying Reconective healing (Eric Pearl) and things are making more sense to me. But I still feel like I am just touching the surface.
