Why Did a Reiki Healer Ask Me Not to Wear Any Stones During a Session?

Recently, I found myself in a situation where a Reiki healer advised me to avoid wearing any stones during a session. This recommendation posed a challenge since I was expecting Amethyst to aid in my journey to overcome brain cancer. It's a complex decision, and understanding the reasoning behind it can provide valuable insights into the practice of Reiki and energy healing.

Understanding Reiki Energy

Reiki is a form of energy healing that aims to promote balance and harmony in a person's life. During a Reiki session, a practitioner uses their hands to channel healing energy to the client. The goal is to help alleviate stress, pain, and promote overall well-being.

Reiki practitioners believe that the energy they transmit is a powerful and pure form of healing. They want to ensure that this natural energy is not hindered or influenced by external objects, such as stones, during the session. The healer asked me to refrain from wearing any stones because they believe that the Reiki energy should be the sole focus, as it can help restore balance in ways that are rarely possible with physical objects alone.

The Reason for the Request

Reiki healers are often very sensitive to energy vibrations, and they want to ensure that the energy they channel is not diluted or altered by the presence of physical objects. By asking me to remove my stones, they were ensuring that the energy delivered was pure and specific to my needs, rather than being influenced by the properties of the stones. This practice is akin to isolating variables in a scientific experiment to achieve accurate and reliable results.

Furthermore, the presence of stones might create a subtle resistance, which could interfere with the flow of Reiki energy. It is important to note that while stones can have therapeutic effects, their impact might be limited compared to the concentrated and refined energy of Reiki. As a practitioner, the healer wants to provide the best possible experience for the client, which is why they focused on the energy alone.

Personal Reflections

Although I found it a bit challenging to comply with this request, I understood the reasoning behind it. The concept of allowing the Reiki energy to work without interference resonated with me. I approached the situation with an open heart, trusting that the healer’s intention was to enhance my healing experience.

Personally, I see myself as merely an instrument holding the funnel, and I believe that the energy needs to flow freely. This aligns with the biblical passage I mentioned, which states, 'Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.' This passage emphasizes that the presence of another individual can amplify the energy and bring comfort.

Additionally, the act of allowing others to participate in the healing process can provide comfort and emotional support, making the journey less daunting. The healer’s recommendation was a reminder that we are not alone in our struggles, and we can rely on the collective energy of the universe to aid us in our healing.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while the request may have seemed counterintuitive at first, it highlighted the importance of a clear and focused energy flow during a Reiki session. Understanding and respecting the healer’s intentions can greatly enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. My experience with this healer taught me the value of openness, trust, and the belief that sometimes, less is more.

Finally, as I continue on my journey with Reiki and other forms of holistic healing, I remind myself to approach each session with an open heart and a willingness to learn. Namaste.
