helen,
/*\ Namaste :-}}
- different diseases seem to have somewhat different energy
- but, one of the primary factors is the responses people have to cancer (whether they are the 'patient' or whether it is a family member)
- there is often a good deal of anxiety and fear generated around the more serious diagnoses (cancer, MS, Lupus, etc, etc.)
- there is always, then, energy attached to such feelings and thoughts - energy we do not want to share with our clients (or really anyone else either)
- I always make sure to do a cleansing after energy work (reiki, attunements, K-K, etc) with someone with the diagnoses I mentioned (and some others as well) - to me it is simply good "energy hygiene", nothing more
- hope this helps
Reiki All Around,
All Blessings,
