OK...not wishing to start the Reiki Permission arguments again....but I had such a VERY interesting thing happen last night....that I just have to share.
Last night, I was having MAJOR period pains and cramps, worst I've had in years, even causing an upset stomach and insomnia.
So I decided to do some self-Reiki on my lower belly, just to ease the discomfort, something I do all the time.
Wow! The pain suddenly increased 10-fold! It was unbearable. I tried to grit my teeth and take the pain, as I'm sure the Reiki would have been doing good anyway, in spite of the pain. But eventually I just gave up as it was just too much pain to take. The increased level of pain subsided as soon as I stopped the Reiki.
So here we have a case of Reiki doing more 'harm' than good. Probably not real harm, probably just speeding along the process and so shortening the pain time. But for me and my earthly body, I just couldn't take that level of pain.
Now imagine if someone was sending me the Reiki via distance, without me knowing.
I would have had all this increased pain, not understood it and NO CONTROL over stopping it.
And unless the person sending was a seriously talented psychic, they would not have known about my distress.
This example alone is the reason I believe so strongly in permission.
