Hello,
My amazing master recommended this site and I'd like to ask for your help please.
I'm struggling to get over my panic attacks. They got worse after I started with Reiki so it might be a part of the cleansing process but it really affects my marriage and my whole life. I know I must stop this and I was doing well until yesterday but they came back even worse and I'm starting to loose control again. I'd really appreciate any advice you can give me. Thank you very much in advance!!!
P.S. I have level 2 Reiki. Sometimes the panic attacks get worse after Ive done self-heling.
Panic attacks can be caused by many different things and their relationship to Reiki depends on your own history.
As they've got worse since you started with Reiki would suggest that you've suffered with them some time, and you felt that you had learnt to live with them or learnt to control them.
Have you had any help, medication or therapy for your panic attacks?
Reiki cleansing will bring about heightened emotions, and this may be the trigger for you latest wave of PAs. If this is the case, when you feel a PA coming on, don't fight it, acknowledge it for what it is, step back and use diaphragmatic breathing. Again if this is part of the Reiki cleasing process they will pass, but I would recommend taking more time for meditation.
If you've received no help for you panic attacks in the past, then you should see your GP and ask for a course of CBT that will enable you to take control of PAs in general.

First aid for panic attacks:
Carry a brown paper bag with you. At the first sign of a panic attack, get your bag, open it up, and breathe in and out of it until the symptoms subside. This does work.
Now for the Reiki connection: you say you have Level 2.
Try substituting this for the traditional self-healing:
While lying down, close your eyes and imagine a large CKR spinning above you. Bathe for a while in its lovely light. Now imagine it fading away. Next, imagine a large SHK spinning above you. Again, bathe for a while in its lovely light. Now imagine it fading away.
You should feel relaxed after this.
Hope this helps
Hi there welcome to HP
Sorry to hear about the panic attacks - the advice you have been given is very helpful.
I'd like to suggest another amazing method called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) as a very quick and simple method of dealing with them. If you go to the main website ([url]click here[/url]) and put panic attacks in the search engine on the left, you will find it brings up 197 reports from all over the world of people's PAs being dealt with using EFT. I would suggest you find a practitioner near you [DLMURL="http://www.aamet.org/practitioner_list.php?bytype=yes&pid=3"](click here)[/DLMURL] who will help you clear the problem for you (1 or two sessions is usually enough!) I would suggest also you download the [DLMURL="http://www.emofree.com/downloadeftmanual.asp"]free basic manual [/DLMURL]to learn the basics - and even try it out for yourself. This technique is rapidly gaing support from all medical disciplines.
Hope it all gets sorted soon
If you are having panic attacks in conjunction with healing, SOMETHING IS WRONG! Your body is screaming that message.
Ask that all connections with people and things that are not in your best interests be severed. Allow it to happen, then try self-healing.
Do not form connections with healing. Understand that you are whole and complete on your own, in the Oneness. The energy will do what it needs to do and you can learn to follow your heart.
Love for you~
I helped others with panic attacks with Tera-Mai Reiki and Seichem. What makes this discipline different is that we are allowed to pick up and throw out any yukky energy. This is great for panic attacks, which seem to have a connection with the heart chakra.You might want to find a local practitioner to help you, as sometimes self-help is not enough - we can get in the way of our own healing.
