- an important issue with any energy work and cancer, especially, is what the client is expecting from the (in this case) Reiki? Pain relief? spiritual 'relief'? Cure?
- also, have you discussed his pain reactions with him and how he interprets them in relation to the Reiki sessions??
- does the Reiki provide releif after he leaves? That is, are pain episodes shorter or less intense the rest of the times he is not in a Reiki session?
- if experiencing (releasing??) pain during Reiki helps heim feel better the rest of the time and he is willing to put up with the occasional discomfort of the Reiki sessions then that is his choice - remember, it is highly unlikely that you are the cause of his pain
