Dear Firekeeper,
In her original post Natalie said...
"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."
In my reply I was agreeing that this could be a possibility. I have noticed that sometimes energy healing brings about an intensity of the symptoms experienced before they subside.
I experienced this on an occasion when I was receiving Reiki for a rather severe pain in my ankle. During the treatment the pain grew significantly worse before it subsided. Initially I thought as Natalie did...perhaps the energy going to that location was "speeding up the process". Then I began to wonder if it was me holding on to what was causing the pain in the first place, albeit subconsciously. My inability to let go of an emotional issue that had manifested as physical pain.
Thank you for asking the question. It helped me to solidfy some of my thoughts on the matter. :-)
Lesley
