Hi, (sorry this is a long one)
I would be grateful of any help please as my master is away at the moment.
I did my reiki 1 (Usui) about a month ago, and loved it. Carried on for a week with my self healing in the evening before bed (must admit to falling asleep before finishing on a couple of occasions). I then started to suffer with excruciating headaches that would wake me up in the night. They are positioned over my right eye, and the pain is so intense it would make me sick. I'm sure they were not migraines, i have had them before, as I was not light sensitive.:confused:
They are happening 5/7, and any spare time I have would be spent catching up on lost sleep, even the GP couldn't help. Last week i had IHM and HEC and they are now not quite so often, 3/7.
Needless to say, my self healing stopped. I have since been told that it may well have been a reiki reaction (surely they are not that painful) or maybe my brow chakra energizing from the self healing (would this not be more central in my forehead). Or is it nothing more than a coincidence as I am also rather stressed and worried at the moment (take my Hopi course on Tue).:o
Finally, (sorry), can I re-start my self healing and carry on where I left off, or do I need to receive attunement again? (although obviously I don't want to do this if I am going to suffer with the headaches again)
With love and thanks,
Izzycat:)
Hi Izzycat and congratulations on taking your Reiki level. I would continue with the self-healing personally as Reiki will be bringing to the surface anything that needs to be released. Did you RM mention a Healing Crisis? If not it is what healers describe when what needs to be released comes to the surface and can be quite painful because it could be something we have 'held onto' for a very long time. I liken it to when a boil starts to form. It can be very painful and tender as the infection comes to a 'head' but then once it bursts the relief is immense! You mention that you have migraines so you knew this was not one so, maybe the Reiki is healing why/what causes the migraines? Healing ourselves first is very important because then we are a 'clearer' channel for the energy to flow through when we help others.
I'm sure your RM will be able to advise you when they get back. If it's any consolation after I did my Level 1 I couldn't be away from a toilet as I had a literal purging lol! I experienced this again only last week after our group were given deep energy healing by a Vortex healer in the group but I'm fine now! Of course, if you are worried or the pain persists then it would be wise to be checked out by your GP to be on the safe side.
If you have any questions then please feel free to bring them here, I'm sure there are others who will be able to help you with them.
Love and light

Hiya Izzycat
Are you familair with grounding? Coz next time you get one of these headaches try grounding and see if that helps 🙂
The other thing is you can restart the self-healing, you do not need another attunement, once you are attuned to a reiki level that connection is permanent. 🙂
Thanks very much guys.
I will start the self healing up again, and ensure that I ground myself.:)
Hi ya Izzycat
I agree with what the others have advised you, but also I would recommend acupuncture. Sounds like an energetic Liver problem.
If you need help on the Reiki side of things, PM me. I live near Newquay.
Best Wishes

Sometimes I get migraines partly because I am dehydrated. Are you drinking enough water with the self-healing? This will flush toxins out of the system as well as helping with the Reiki.
