Hi Prosperity,
Yeah, I think it is quite a common experience for a practitioner to go into a sort of meditative state whilst doing a treatment on someone and this is a good state to be in I think. For a couple of reasons: Firstly, I think it sort of gets you out of the way of the energy - or more importantly gets your mental processing out of the way of the energy and I think that the client gets a better treatment as a consequence and also I think it has beneficial effects for the practitioner.
I cannot believe that there seems to be so many people about who think it is ok to just chat with the client or just run off at the mouth generally whilst giving a treatment though - surely a meditative state if possible is preferable when engaged with this process?
I use the symbols also to meditate on - not always - but sometimes and I find that there is a huge energy rush in this practice. Other effects also, but the main one being a sense of massive energy all around me, in me and a part of me - like being at the centre of a ki-bomb that has just gone off..amazing feeling. At other times it feels like - well...nothing...just expansiveness I guess...and peaceful. But this is not whilst doing a treatment at all. This is sitting meditation..
Blessings,
Steve
