Interesting you have a point - though I always set my intention to be a perfect pure channel for Reiki only - I could transfer energy very easily and assist people with pain, headaches, sickness etc before I began my Reiki journey.
The reason I sought out Reiki was because I had no idea how I did what I could seem to do for people and would be left feeling totally wiped out with minor aches and pains. I didn't know anything about grounding prior to Reiki. So I looked into hands on healing on the net and found Reiki which sounded and was in fact the perfect solution for me.
Your post made me think how many people who have experienced Reiki at Reiki shares - told me it feels *different" when I give a treatment to treatments from other people. So much so that when I took my masters attunement some people asked me to reattune them ...including my first master who attuned me to levels 1 and 2. Which makes me wonder if somehow I cant totally set aside the energy I was channeling prior to Reiki.
I chose not to reattune anyone - just because I was not comfortable with the idea and being newly attuned to masters level felt nothing like a master.
Actually over 7 years later - I still don't - its all still a big wonderful mystery to me - but I do love the wonder and pondering of it all.
Though it never occurred to me until today - that I might not be just channeling pure Reiki! Its a good job I have never charged anyone or it would be refunds all round ;)
