It seems you have answered a few of your questions already Miaou. If you are not comfortable with a male practitioner or teacher then you should keep looking for the person you feel very right with. There is no rush. I can't say if he did Reiki along with the other work as I was not there. You do not have to make a follow up appointment unless you feel you want to.
You got a lot of energy work done, 2 hours, for the price you paid, and this is usually not a normal amount of time for a treatment. Saying this though most do take more time for the first session.
One can feel cold, hot and many other things during a treatment. Many say cold feelings indicate blockages.
It is always good to void before any type of treatment or test.
I do not agree with not showering right away. In my opinion a daily shower is the way to go to get any impurities or things flushed out of the system. Drinking water or fluids is always recommended.
There are many of we practitioners that do use more than just Reiki. You should have been told this ahead of time.
It is apparent that you were not comfortable for the most part and as you said have some past issues with men. You need to think on this and perhaps this treatment will now help you bring these past issues up to the surface to revisit and deal with.
You can give this person another chance now that your chakra's have been opened. You might even ask if your friend can sit in the room with you. Your other choice is finding another practitioner and I would suggest you then try a woman and see how that feels to you.
I would suggest you get more comfortable with Reiki before you decide to get attuned. Yes, there can be some issues and some uncomforatble feelings that come up after an attunement, but not necessarily always the case either.
One should think things through before concidering taking on any energy work path. There are plenty of books and info online about it and keep talking to your friend about Reiki.
You are very observant with how you feel and feeling energy. This is a good thing!
I look forward to hearing how this goes for you and what down the road you decide to do.
Good luck Miaou...
Donna
