Hi dolphin,
Namaste :)
Do you know the underlying cause of your anxiety? In my experience Reiki brings things up for our attention that need healing. Your increased anxiety could be because you are not dealing with the issues at the root of the anxiety just trying to cure the resulting symptoms. If you can pinpoint the root cause or triggers I think it might be a good starting point and then the real healing could begin. If you could try some deep breathing exercises you might find it helpful in stilling the mind a little and lowering your anxiety levels. I appreciate that this is difficult time for you and I hope that you find some peace of mind soon.
Gentle Blessings
Helen
