Personally I feel more nutured when it's received from someone else. There have been times where I thought I wasn't healing myself, and was only dragging day by day through an illness. Very discourgaging. Come to find out I should have been in the hospital because I was more seriously ill than I thought. I lacked the pain and symptoms of severity because Reiki kept them under control. In spite of being misdiagnosed twice, having a minor infection turn into major one due to neglect and lack of appropriate medicine but still managed to function and go to work. That put that episode in perspective.
We who practice are usually a healthy lot compared to those who don't chi. I know its hard but try to view a particularly troubling illness as a lesson. We need to experience illness and low emotions to give us empathy with those we treat.
Please make sure you don't have any emotional blocks or cords that may be undermining the healing process. Subtle feelings of not feeling worthy to be healed. Feelings that you aren't good enough at running chi. Lack of confidence in yourself and your Source. Re affrm that you are a well loved child of the Source and you were opened to the gift to take care of yourself. Seeking another practioner at this time might not be a bad idea. They can get a fresh perspective that you can't because we are so close to ourselves.
Getting some Reiki cards might help you. After I've decided what areas need to be concentrated on I backed up this 'diagnosis' with Reiki cards. They work remarkably well.
'Distance heal' yourself as if you were healing someone else. Or ask someone distance to assist remotely with your own healing.
While we often feel immediate improvement some things take some time. If you are working through an emotional trauma or trying to disencord from a person, place or circumstance it might take more time. You also might need to reexamine what is bothering you. Perhaps the root cause of the distress isn't what you intially thought it was. Or maybe the causes are a bit more complex. Have your healing guides help you find some enlightenment. You'll find yourself perhaps running across some odd bit of information or a new way to heal or some other happy accident of information.
Also please be aware that psychic attack can impede our self healings. It makes us listless and uncaring. Sometimes just knowing you are under attack is enough to snap you out of that mindset so you can heal yourself more effectively. To be sure run protective measures on yourself.
Change of scenery. Instead of healing yourself where you normally would, go outside in the night and moon energies and wander around on the earth feeling the chi creep up your legs. Sun energy is important too and extra good for low energies like listlessness, bad feelings and depression.
Blessings Bewitchy, I know you will feel better soon.

>I seem to be having a hard time treating myself. I guess it doesn't make sense to me that if I am feeling bad, I would have the energy/power to heal myself. I ask for guidance from higher powers but I fear that my channels are not open to receive while in this state. Must I seek Reiki from another practicioner?
