Otoharo!
I am revisiting this post and decided to say more. In my case, which may not be similar to others, I don't know. Reiki did not bring up my past outright, but I experienced that day by day, memories or feelings or hunches would spring up. They would stay around long enough for me to feel them, work with them, deal with them in some new way until there has been constant resolution of things not solved before. That process still continues, but there seems hardly anything is left to deal with. My observation is that reiki does not bring resolution but brings up what is not resolved so that I do something with it. It is my choice that is required. Even from the person who I pay for weekly distance reiki in addition to my own daily reiki, she calls me when something rises that she does not readily see resolve and I have a chance then to talk about it and bring my personal tools to bear on it so to speak. For instance, one day, she called me to ask about whether I was feeling anxious or fearful. I was not. But as she continued to describe what she had picked up, I realized that she was getting my trip down the road on the bank of the creek I live on. Since my fall months ago, I am wary of where I put my feet. That fall was so tramatic that a residue of dread of being tripped continues. Even that has lessened week by week. I would not want to be without reiki's help to clear all these things out of me. But I still have to make the choice, one by one.
