In my journey to understand my friend's MS and how to effectively do Reiki for the condition, I've gotten a lot of interesting feedback from some Reiki Cafe members with various autoimmune disorders. It seems that Reiki is too strong when people have severe flare ups of the conditions, be it MS, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, and that these people accept Reiki energy easier when their are in a more manageable state. Wendy mentioned that distant Reiki is too strong, and it seems that people with these types of disorders fare very well doing self healings--is it because they can instinctively control the amount of energy they receive? What do you think?
I also found my friend's mother, who is diabetic with neuropathy and wounds that don't heal, was OK with Reiki when she was not terribly ill, but when she was hospitalized with a lung infection and leg infections, she became hypersensitive to the energy. The energy was so intense for her, as to make her feel drained and depleted.
I'm wondering if any of you have come across these types of things and if you could tell your stories and/or try to offer explanations. It seems that there is a pattern here.
Namaste,
Starlight
