Not completely, but it sure isn't what it was after reiki 1 course. I think that after that boost-period, some of us start to use our own power. So reiki still works, but it isn't as powerful.
This also raises the important question: how can I raise my vibration to a level where I will use the limitless source, and how do I know when I get there.
Dear Filipcza,
Higher vibration? I hear this term often and wonder if people think higher is better? Most people exposed to "higher vibration" energy for an extended period of time will get mentally imbalanced. It is like having a short circuit that overheats your battery. You need your battery to be well grounded to be safe. This is why Robert's methods encourage people to develop the lower energy centres (grounding themselves) before working on the higher ones.
For me it is all about balance between the higher and lower vibrational energies. We want to have the FULL spectrum of energy balanced within ourselves. One could equate it to eating. Fruits have a different more subtle finer energy than earthy root vegetables but if we only ate fruit and not a balanced diet we would become sick and unhealthy. And really for me it is not bad at all to have lower vibrational energy within ourselves. This is extremely grounding. It gives us a sense of strength and vitality. Just like the lower notes on a piano keyboard are not bad they bring depth to music. The question is, "Is the music harmonious, integrated and balanced?"
Back in the time when Reiki and Indian Transendental practices were developed, people were very much of the earth. We were out in the fields working the land and likely very earthy in our vibration. The high vibration energy exercises might have been very important to bring balance to people back then. People were not so much in their mind. Now most of our awareness and energy is in our head. Our society does not need to stimulate the higher centres with higher vibration energy like was needed in the past. In a lot of cases these centres might be over stimulated relative to the lower centres. [For me it is all about energy balance between higher and lower centers.] Overstimulation of the mind can "contribute" to ADHD among other things. I am not saying it is the cause since there are several contributing factors to ADHD. Earth energy is a wonderful way to help calm ADHD. I think what many people are possibly lacking now is earth energy and elemental balance due to our processed food diet, lack of exercise and being overly of the mind.

Any healing method can be draining to the healer if one is using your own energy and not drawing in energy from the earth or the "pool" of reiki energy or from other sources.
How does one avoid draining self and then clients?
Here are some ideas:
1) Clear out blockages in your own energy body so energy can easily flow in and through you. This helps avoid stagnating energy and makes sure that energy is constantly flushing, washing through you the healer keeping you energized. Robert's NEW method is great for this.
2) Learn how to ground your energy so that you do not fry yourself. Healers can overstimulate their energy body at times and feel shaky even which then causes problems and ultimately drains them. There are lots of ways to ground. I could give a little mini course on this. Painterhypnogirl can attest to my groundedness. <wink> I know people who blow light bulbs and electronic devices when they get over energized and ungrounded.
3) Learn to pump energy through you. This pumping action will help ensure the flow of energy is through and out of you into the patient. This also helps reduce negative energy from the patient from entering you. Some mixing of energy is inevitable but we want the major flow to be into the patient.
4) We also wish to clear out disharmonious energy from the person but if negative energy is removed it needs to be replaced by harmonious balanced energy. This is where learning how to use the elements to transform energy and harmonize it is helpful. It is helpful to learn how to do this for yourself also.
5) Also I find prayer helpful. I ask for a good flow of energy and that the type of energy best for your patient flow through me in a way that is best for your patient and for me the healer. This is channeling energy.
6) Rarely you have a patient who has so much disharmonious energy that it floods you. What can be helpful in this case is to stop the healing, take a mega salt bath, take a break for a few days, then do heavy energy work on yourself before working on patients again.
Very Best Wishes,
