Severe Vomit after performing Reiki?

Hi all, I was hoping I could get some light on this subject. I am a second degree reiki since Oct '07. About a week before Christmas I received my first chance to use reiki on someone who isn't family or myself.

Long story short, I was in charge of the children's pageant at my church this Christmas, One of the children was not coming to practice so I called the parents and was told she had been in the hospital (serious respiratory condition). I told the father that if she was home and well enough that she would have a spot in the show, no problem, and also to call the church and ask for distance healing to be done on her at which point I mentioned that I was reiki 2 and I would be happy to do some distance. At this point he said, "oh no, would YOU please come to the hospital and work on her in person." I was apprehensive this being my first time on a non family member and the situation as grave as it was, I questioned if I was ready, worthy, good enough... but in the end I don;t believe in ever refusing anyone a request for healing so I went.

I performed Reiki on the child, the exhausted mother and father, who both have conditions and handicaps of their own... at the end of the session I was so exhausted, my head was spinning, I felt as if I was going to pass out... then the noxious feelings crepted up, and I excused myself. The moment I got out into the hall I began vomiting, monstrous amounts, it just wouldn't stop.

I have yet to have the opportunity to speak one on one with my Reiki teacher. So I am still a little troubled by this. Can anyone shed any light on the physical manifestations that fell upon me that night?

By the way, after I vomited I felt perfectly fine, in fact, I was very hungry and stopped for a milkshake on the way home.

Also, the child is well now and was able to perform in the Christmas Pageant.

Namaste~

Hi litesong,

Namaste :)

A few thoughts came to mind when I read your post. 1. If you worked on all three, you may have chanelled far more energy than you are used to coping with normally. 2. Did you ground and protect yourself before beginning the treatment? (if you didn't then it's possible that you may have 'taken on' the conditions that you were treating 3. You say that you felt exhausted at the end of the treatment...are you sure that you did not allow your personal energy to get mixed in with the Reiki? (Chanelling Reiki should not leave us feeling tired).

Gentle Blessings
Helen

Dear litesong,

It sounds like you had alot of different things going on that day.

It is difficult to be a Mindful Reiki channel under the best of conditions. Perhaps this was a graphic lesson for you that Reiki is a more serious thing than you previously surmised.

So as to theorize for example; not the Reiki's fault necessarily anymore than it would be if one took the cold medicine on an empty stomach and got ill.


Namaste,
Micael

Greetings,

I would hypothesize that you took on these people's energies and your body naturally purged when it was able.

It is very common for the inexperienced to do this, especially when you so want to help. I've had the same experience a few times and it scared me out of my wits :-), with me questioning Reiki quite a bit afterwards. But I've since learn't that it wasn't the Reiki per se, it was more of a natural tendancy that I have (ie. taking on other people's stuff) and being so wide open I had no 'defence'. If it happens to me now, I simply reconnect with my guides, they take over and I recover physically.

Hope you figure it out.

Peace
Nats

Hey there Peter! Nice to see you too :-).

Reiki Cafe does and always will, hold a very, very special place in my heart. No matter where I am in the world and what I am doing, I will probably always sneak back every now and then to a place I consider to be my spiritual nest.

Seems like a lot has changed though. Much quieter now. Really glad to see a few old names.

Peace
Natalie
