The Reiki Cafe 

I was wondering if anyone has the same experience as me regarding sensing energy.
although i have had 12 attunements of different sorts of reiki both face to face and distant i never feel a thing
neither do i feel or sense much when i give reiki.
however the people who i give reiki too seem to enjoy it and feel better and sleep better.
i also do pendulum readings on their chakra's so as supplement my lack of sensitivity and that also shows healing taking place.
i don't know if it relavent but i have a high pain threshold and the constitution of an elephant ,do that mean i have dulled my system in some way ?
i won't stop doing reiki because i'm doing some good but i be interested too know if anyone else is like me.
thanks to you all

Hi, Andymann,
Not sure if this helps, but there are alot of times I don't feel the energy and I wonder if it is no longer there.....but it is obvious from the response of the recepient that healing has taken place. I bet there are several of us who are in the same boat as you from what I have heard on the boards!
Peace,

Namaste.
I have been giving reiki to people for the last few years. Except for some minute vibrations in the palm and some heat, I dont feel anything. sometimes I even wonder if its working! But the people who have received have responded with positive feedback and I am continuing with reiki. I am happy that you can use the pendulum to suppliment what are doing, but for me, the pendulum has never worked. I always get the opposite answers and I have stopped using my pendulum. My strong intentions have done magic with my reiki.

Otoharo!

andymann, you are not required to feel sensation when being reiki. I recommend that you simply self treat yourself daily. Take time with each position. Be as if in meditation at the same time. It is the intellect that tries to block you from what you feel from reiki. Ignore the intellect. Imagine your knowing being in the area of your heart chakra, and let your attention be there, away from you intellect. Be in your feelings and your knowings. Continue reiki.

By the way, I read your profile, and I love your wit. It shines!

Hi, I was feeling the same way as you when I first started with energy work and one on the most important things that I have done to help with my intuition and being more open in general to energy was to start changing my diet. I have found this has made a huge difference. There are some excellent books on the subject that you may find helpful or just food for thought. Constant cravings and eating in the light by Doreen Virtue where two that gave me alot of insight on the subject. An other thing to try is to get regular treatments yourself. I have been told that for every 30 treatments to give you should receive a treatment yourself to help clear and balance your energy field. Hope this is helpful. It was for me.
Blessings,
Jennifer
