Side Effects Of Healing
Reiki simply taps into the natural force that vivifies everything. It raises the vibrational frequency of the recipient and clears blockages that disrupt the energy flow, allowing healing to begin at a cellular level. The energy supply is limitless. It is un-affected by the channeller and flows through him/her to wherever needed. It can only be beneficial.
As healing proceeds, the recipient may (probably will) start to look at areas of his/her life that have been difficult in some way and take practical steps to address these issues. This of course will affect the people around the recipient who might prefer the situation to remain unchanged.
Apart from the direct healing from Reiki, a tenet of Reiki is a commitment to ones own health. The recipient should accept, indeed embrace his/her responsibility for his/her own well-being. The Laws of Nature still apply. Reiki will not render you immune from the vagaries of life and it will not secure you from Natural Law. For example: if you cut yourself and don't wash the area, apply some form of antiseptic and keep it lightly covered, you are inviting infection. If you abuse your body with smoking, drugs, alcohol, poor diet and inadequate mental and physical exercise, you will, sooner or later, suffer the consequences.
We are part of a natural system and as such we are subject to its' laws. Are bodies are part of the system. We ignore our biology at our peril. Reiki is not an insurance policy against living in an unhealthy manner! It will though, support you in actively promoting your general improvement.
