Dear Natalie,
Thank you for sharing this with us. What a wonderful illustration of so many Reiki concepts that are often subject to heated debate! :-)
Of course you may be right that continuing self-Reiki last night would have shortened the time frame for experiencing the pain, by increasing it's intensity. But that was your call to make...your choice. Someone else might say that they knew it was best for you to experience the full effects of the pain and then have it go away quicker. Not their call...not their choice.
I hope you're feeling better today, Nats. Thank you again for the share...'twas a good one, indeed!
Lesley
