Waking Up Early

I used to be a morning person, but I'm not any more. However, one of the advantages of waking early is that it's one of the few times I get to do a full self-treatment.

At night, I often fall asleep before I finish. In the morning, it's more leisurely (at least until my daughter wakes). I can feel the warmth under my hands and sometimes movement, though my hands don't feel warm to me. However, my daughter and others say they are very warm. Maybe it's because I'm getting used to this feeling.

Geting Used To The Feeling

When I first did Reiki, it was strange to feel the heat in my hands. Now I don't even notice it any more, though other people tell me my hands are warm. My daughter told me the other day that my hugs were very warm, and I don't think she was being abstract.

At the same time, I'm more conscious of the warmth when I do a self-treatment. Last night, my hands were roasting, especially over the ribs and pelvis. It's probably not a coincidence that it's over the gallbladder (or ex-gallbladder) and the symphysis pubis pain.

Group Treatment

Three of us have been getting together to do group treatments since our Reiki I class. Tonight we got to treat someone else, as E had a guest. He fell asleep within seconds. I could feel energy moving. In fact, I felt a lot tonight, both when treating and being treated. Tonight was the first time I have felt movement around my eyes when being treated. I also had a tingling in my left big toe - that's the one that sometimes aches.

First Reiki Experience

My first experience with reiki was when my mother who had just done her first degree put her hand on a bleeding cut I had. Normally, it would have taken weeks to heal, but by the end of that day you could hardly see where it had been. Being a sceptic, it took me weeks and months (years, in fact) to even think about doing it myself, but that was the first crack in the armour.

Introduction

I had my first degree reiki attunement just over a month ago. This blog is to explore my experiences with reiki before and since. Hope you'll follow my journey.
