Something strange is happening during healing

Healing others with the touch can open you up to many things
However, these things are not the same for every single healer
Sometimes I get what I call blip verts, quick flashes of things
At times I get flashes of colors, or even like looking through a kaleidoscope
Other times I get journeys through things they would like to be kept private
Every person creates something very different and diverse
I have never chosen to try and close this side of healing down
I give what I give and take what I get with thanks, and keep quiet

And sometimes I get the back of my eye lids
No two people are the same

I used to heal with my eyes closed and I would 'see' colours - often lots of purple. But sometimes I wouldn't see anything. But then when I went for further training my reiiki master saw what I was doing and told me NOT to keep my eyes shut for one very simple reason - I needed to keep an eye on my patient!!

So while I have 'seen' different things it didn't worry me - but I am not sure about the wisdom of healing with eyes shut.............however we are all different and we all do things in different ways and sense things differently..............

My experience needn't invalidate yours

I would try to figure out what the flashing image is then see if it is relevant to the person or body part you're working on.

Now...seconds or a flash of no snow comes? Like there is a clear picture but it's to fast to see it... Has anyone experienced this, and if so, do you know that is coming next?

Hi Stephanie.

As long as I can recall, I have always been able to perceive much of the spiritual phenomena that inspires others. For me, it has always been normal and quite mundane, and for me, my perception of the phenomena has always changed. It has never remained the same.

On many occasions when I participated with groups of others who were fully comfortable and experienced with their senses, we would look at the aura of another individual. Sometimes I would see the color blue in one area of that persons aura. Another would see blue in a different area and nothing where I perceived the blue. Another would see an image of an animal (perhaps a spirit totem or power animal).

Even though each of us would look at the same individual with our psychic eyes, we would perceive something different.

Such has been the case when I have observed how I observe such phenomena.

In the memories of my early years, I would see glows of lights around people. Later I learned that those glows were the persons aura. When I looked "deeper", then I began to see large glowing spheres, which I later learned were chakras. And when I looked deeper, then I discovered an amazing web of light, woven together much like a spider web but in a 3-dimensional way that makes up the body. Later, I learned those threads of light were the meridians. It was a very empowering experience, but it did not last.

As I practiced "seeing" such phenomena more and more, the way I perceived it began to change.

Sometimes I would read a technique in a book and then I would experience the technique just as the book described, but the more often I practiced that technique the more the way I perceived it changed. It seemed that what I would perceive in the beginning was very different from what I experienced after a few years of practicing that technique.

When I was first taught Reiki, all of us in the class were told that the Reiki energy enters through the crown of the head and travels downward through the neck, through the shoulders, down the arms and out of the hands -- and that was it. It traveled through no other places in the body, at all. That's what we were told, and that's what we experienced in the class... and for myself, that's where I kept the Reiki flow for a very long time.

But after a time of keeping the Reiki flow restricted to just that limited path, I began to notice other areas within my own energy field that seemed to be imbalanced, so I committed a heresy and during Reiki treatments and attunements, allowed Reiki to flow where it needed to go through me during the entire process. I stopped intellectually controlling where I wanted the energy to travel through me and simply gave it permission to flow in the way it needed to flow while I simply observed (and bathed in) the process.

While I always enjoyed exploring that 3-dimensional spider-web of lights making up bodies, sometimes I simply didn't see it at all. Sometimes the chakras were all that I would see. Other times I would see a glimmer of the web with a persons body, but see more going on with energy a few feet away from the persons physical body and in their outer auric field. And sometimes I had no perceptions at all. Sometimes it seemed as if I was just going through the motions as my body and sometimes my hands felt no "Reiki heat" or flow of energy whatsoever.

Through hindsight, I can say that in the past when I consciously directed the energy to go where I believed it needed to go, that when I perceived the energy in the way I read the energy should be perceived or looked to experience the energy in certain ways, the more problems and obstacles were present in my life.

There was a turning point in my life where I chose to let go of my pre-established ideas of the way that I was "supposed to be spiritual" (or "obligated" to be spiritual as expected by contemporary society). I stopped trying to recreate seeing energy in the ways others described seeing energy, the way that others wrote that energy is experienced and exists, and the way others taught that energy is experienced and exists. It was only then that I began to experience and perceive energy in completely new ways.

My experiences and perceptions of energy, of spiritual phenomena, are much like an ocean tide. There's an ebb, there's a flow, and there are waves. The only thing common about my experiences today is that now, they are always different.

I think that if I were to directly answer your question, "what's next", then I would have to say:
"something new !"

Love & Light

Thank you for taking the time to explain your journey. You write so clear and are really easy to understand.

I am impressed by your sense of freedom and following your instincts. I believe most RULES are guide lines for beginners. Having perimeters feels safe to work in and can bring you to a level of proficiently.

But once you've got it? If the universe approves (meaning it works)? I say go for it.:dance:

I am anxious to experience some of the things you talk about. Maybe they will be among my gifts? Maybe not. I can't have everything. But it sounds wonderful.

Don't forget the hand positions were originally devised for those who couldn't work intuitively. I presume that means they couldn't sense things. So sometimes the rules HELP people to do things.................. I don't sense that much when I am healing if I am honest. I reckon get what I need and I just stand out of the way and let reiki do its thing 🙂
