Hello Friends,
A couple of days ago, one of my colleagues had pain in his right shoulder from bursitis and from pushing the snow blower. I asked him if he wanted Reiki. He said yes. So I put one hand in front of the shoulder and one hand in back of the shoulder. I kept my hands about an inch away from the shoulder. Within a minute he remarked strongly that it was hot! I can not feel anything in my hands. I asked him if he wanted me to stop. He did not, so I continued but started brushing the energy down the arm toward the fingers. Then he said he could feel his fingers tingling.
This time I could feel the tingling in my head. But no heat. The initial heat did dissipate. He claimed the shoulder was a bit better in an hour or so. Scared the heck outta me.
We've had the "hands too hot" discussion before. I don't want to "cook someone's shoulder". How can Reiki be for the highest good if it's too hot? or too anything uncomfortable? Do I need to be more specific in my intention like "medium rare" please? I thought by letting Reiki go where the client wants and how the client wants, highest good, etc,the client gets what he needs.
It didn't seem like it this time. And if I'm going to cook anything, I wish I could Reiki cook this cold outta me. How come I can't do that?
It makes me wonder what my cat feels when I pick her up or when I work on people in Reiki circle which is done with no talking. I don't want to hurt anyone.
Advice?
Blini
