Thanks Paul, that makes a lot of sense and ultimately we all have to decided what is most important for to us.

What a fascinating thread, makes for really interesting reading, thank you!
I think that often when one partner changes whether due to Reiki Attunements or otherwise, then this can have a knock on effect on the other partner and over time they may undergo changes also. If they are not ready for this progression, then possibly the relationship could end, for the highest good.
I'm in agreement with Paul on both his posts!
Furthermore, my husband respects Reiki but has no desire to be attuned to it. I have, in the past, treated him with Reiki and he has enjoyed the experience. However, we cannot treat people if they don't want to be treated! In many ways we are complete opposites and yet very much the same ( if that makes any sense).
I'm also surprised that the RMT had not given instances of the kinds of changes that can take place. We always give examples of our own experiences and warn about what the student may go through in terms of a "healing crisis" . We cover such areas as increased vibrational levels; the balancing of the energies etc. and discuss how these may affect the individual.
During my own Sho-den I became very emotional & later developed a severe chest infection. Oku-den didn't seem to affect me as much - it seemed the next logical step and was "nice". Shinpi-den, however, well - I drove through two sets of red lights on my way home. I later told my husband that could do with a few days off work in order to allow my energies to balance and to assimilate all the information! Went to peg some washing out, fell over the step on my way in and ended being off work for 3 weeks with a ruptured vein in my leg! (Be careful the things you ask for - you might get them!)
We also discuss how our "moods" may be affected; how we may seem more aggressive or more emotional or even depressed! We talk about the importance of the self-treatments etc.
Think I'd better shut up now or I'll go on forever!!!!
Thank you all for the advice and support.
It is now clear that my ex does not want us to be together. Like Ellie7, when we first got together, we were party goers, but I have grown up/out of that but he is still interested in this lifestyle.
I am in so much pain and I cant stop churning these emotions round and round.
Reiki is helping, I am doing self practice and also going to my master weekly. I know that the only thing that will help is time.
I am encouraged to know that you can have Reiki and a relationship and hopefully in the future I will find someone who loves me for who I am.
Hi Sammy
I'm really sorry to hear things didn't work out. Please, be as positive as you can - although I know sometimes it's hard to do when one goes through this hurt. I'm finding that trying to look at my relationship with my 'friend' as positively as I can, does help me a bit during my darker moments when I'm hurting a lot. I am sure you will meet someone who, if not shares your spiritual path, will at least accept it and embrace you for who you are.
Lots of Reiki hugs
Paula
It sounds like you're doing all the right things. I'm sending you lots of reiki too... Flower remedies might help if you're interested and want some help feel free to PM me

Sorry to read this, but perhaps it really is for the best. It may sound harsh but sometimes we have to clear out the 'old' to allow in the 'new'. Who knows what kind of man could be in the future for you!
Hope you are doing ok, lots of reiki hugs!

It seems that the time was right to move on anyway - you could have done anything else (almost!) and the split would still have happened.
How are things working out now that you're out of the 21 day period of cleansing (I assume that there's that period for Masters as well as the other levels?)

IME, yes, the same for Masters ... though not everyone does go through this period of cleansing at any level, it's different for everyone.

Hi
I did my 21 day cleansing with my Reiki 1 and 2 level. I did my masters with a different teacher and she didnt mention it. It actually occured to me the other day that I had not actually done it, but I have been doing Reiki most days so its probably OK!
I have moved house, Ive been having Reiki a bit less regularly than in the beginning, but doing lots of self practise.
To be honest Im doing really well. I dont have to see my ex, we dont have the same friends or anything so thats alot easier . If I see him it does bring me back down but without him im OK.
Things are moving quite quickly and I can only think that the Reiki is helping me through, everyone else around me is amazed by how level headed I have been about things!
It strikes me from what you have said that the Reiki is helping you grow, because you seemed to have been a bit stifled by the relationship. That growth is being channelled into constructive things by the Reiki rather than the destructive behaviour some people go through when they come out of a relationship.
Does that resonate with you?

Yes, that helps - thanks!
