Hiya,
I have done Reiki 1 and 2. Still not practising properly due to not getting around to doing case studies and getting my certificate. I have been doing Reiki at work (just short sessions) and the last couple of times I have felt sensations on my body in the same place as the treatment area. Sometimes this is just the pulsating, flowing of the Reiki but as if I am giving it to myself. When this happened the subject told meafterwards that she had felt herself "in a void" On another occasion it took the form of sharp pains in my back. Has anyone else had this?
Also, the other day I was treating a workmate who is recovering from a severe virus of the inner ear - this has left her with balance problems and I was treating her crown when I felt a buzzing in the fingertips in both hands. This was like an electric kind of buzzing.
Look forward to your replies.
RE: Anyone else experienced this?
Hi Ambermoon
Yes, I have also had similar experiences to this. I have also felt someone else's pain when I have treated them.
I was giving my friend a treatment when I got a terrible stabbing pain in my stomach but it wasn't until we spoke about the treatment afterwards and I told her what I had felt that she told me she had been suffering from stomach pains for a few days.
You'll probably find every treatment is different - just relax and enjoy it!
RE: Anyone else experienced this?
Dear AMbermoon,
It sounds as if your body is "echoing" what is going on in the person you are treating, which is a way that intuition can work for a person. It is only short-lived - you aren't left with the problem long-term - and it may suggest areas that you might want to concentrate on when treating.
You can have a whole range of different sensations in your hands and fingers as you treat.
Best wishes,

hi ambermoon,
i cant remember if you told us before or not, how come you are having to submit case studies and what do they contain? how many do you have to do?
cant you use the *practise* sessions on work mates as case studies?
RE: Anyone else experienced this?
Hi Ambermoon
I too had to do case studies to obtain my Reiki 2 Certificate, can I suggest you make the time to do them - it will give you invaluable experience and once you have your practioner's (Reiki 2) certificate you will be able to obtain insurance to cover you for treating your colleagues.
I do not take on the symptoms of clients when treating them but I do get various feelings in my hands - hot, cold, tingling, buzzing etc. I would say that all Reiki practitioners experience different feelings, so whatever you are getting is right for you. Don't worry. 🙂
RE: Anyone else experienced this?
Thanks for all your feedback. It's so lovely to have you all ready and waiting to help with every query. It just makes me feel like I have some support and you are the only like minded people I have contact with.
the case studies are not as problematic as I thought (had another look at them the other day), it's just a case of getting around to it. I have been keeping a record of all these weird and wonderful experiences I and my clients are having.
Blessings
