I have recently completed my reiki 2 and have given a few treatments. Most of the time my friends / family will sleep very well after a treatment however sometimes don't have a very good nights sleep. I have been told this is probably because they have things to contemplate or it is a trust thing. Does anybody have any experience of this that they are willing to share with me?
With many thanks.

Any person who performs Reiki or any other form of healing should never under any circumstances do any healing straight after been attuned as affects can come out months later depending on the person.
Before making any further comment on this, I would be most interested to know from where this statement is sourced. Do you in fact do Reiki? I wasn't able to ascertain from your profile.
Thanks.

RE: Unable to sleep after reiki
I always protect & ground myself and the person I am treating. Iwas attuned3/4 months ago.I am unsure of the comment you make about not giving healing straight after being attuned and that i can pass on my stress / worries to the patient?
I have given numerous treatments on my mum after being attuned and all were very successful.
RE: Unable to sleep after reiki
Dear Purpleyoga
Please don't worry. It sounds as if you're doing all the right things.
I did find Darren's post somewhat unusual, which is why I asked for clarification and was awaiting a reply. At that time I had not seen these other threads, which may shed some light:
[link= http://www.healthypages.net/forum/tm.asp?m=291995 ]http://www.healthypages.net/forum/tm.asp?m=291995[/link] and
[link= http://www.healthypages.net/forum/tm.asp?m=288960&mpage=4 ]http://www.healthypages.net/forum/tm.asp?m=288960&mpage=4[/link]
which I have deliberately linked to page 4, where some other attunements are referred to in post #130, and which appear to be from a source other than Reiki.
In answer to your original query about your friends and family sometimes not sleeping too well after Reiki, this may be because Reiki can bring to the surface issues which need healing. These can be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. Hopefully it is a temporary thing for them, and the Reiki will be as helpful as you say it has been for your mum.
Yes, it is possible for a client to sense if you are stressed or worried, but you say you are grounding and protecting, and no doubt you are also regularly self-healing, so that should help.
I hope I have been able to put your mind at rest, and that you will continue to give Reiki to your loved ones, but if you have any further questions or concerns, do please ask.
With my best wishes,
Holistic

hhhhuuummm...I'm no expert on Reiki, i've only ever gone as far as reiki 1 so I'm not thebest person here to try & attempt to answer your questionbut this statement made me wonder[sm=scratchchin.gif]
Any person who performs Reiki or any other form of healing should never under any circumstances do any healing straight after been attuned as affects can come out months later depending on the person.
I have always been under the impression that it's advisable to do as much self healing as possible after a reiki attument...& if you get the opertunity to practice on anyone then go for it;)

RE: Unable to sleep after reiki
I don't think that healing just after an attunement is a problem, unless you feel you are experiencing some sort of healing crisis immediately afterwards. Obviously the onus is on the individual to ascertain whether they are well enough to heal and to protect themselves appropriately..
I have only once had an attument which affected me adversely, I was quite poorly afterwards and for a few days, during this period I took the decision to treat noone and to concentrate on healing myself and accepting the changes in me before trying anything on anyone else (I had this attunement with the sole intention of having another.. soon as I had the other, my body just reverted back to 100% again- in my eyes, I reacted cause I was meant to have the second but the first wasn't right for me at the time.. just had to have it to reach the other level.
The way in which reiki is taught is to increase a persons ability to learn to heal immediately after attunement, they are normally scheduled so that you can learn to heal in a weekend, obviously, you can't turn up four times, have four attunements and a month later learn how to use the energies, sometimes changes emotionally can be quite drastic and the clearing can be confusing. If you send someone away after attunement I would say it was irresponsible, as they would not be prepared to use the energy.. and indeed many would be tempted to try using it without knowing how.
Once you are attuned, it does balance you out, healing people can itself clear your own blockages, it's like a top up and i think there's seriously nothing wrong with that.
With respect to the original question.. sleep after reiki, some will reach a state of deep relaxation, fall asleep during the treatment, even be spaced out for a short while afterwards and be in need of grounding, it all depends. How you percieve a treatment you give, can be completely different to the experience of the recipient, it's like describing beauty, noone has the exact same viewpoint, it's all very individual.
Think of it this way, some people, when stressed will become very lethargic and need to sleep... deeply, in order to regrain objective, others will have heightened awareness and remain conscious and cannot drop off. How do these people sleep when you have not treated them? Do they have things on their minds which are perhaps being resolved by remaining awake and consciously worked on?
There's no right or wrong.. however, you may find that balancing out their chakras or simply checking them after a treatment might give some indication of which areas aren't quite in balance.
RE: Unable to sleep after reiki
Thank you both for your My freind was not sleeping before the reiki treatment either this is why she came to me as she has been having restless nights sleep. So after the reiki treatment there was no change.
RE: Unable to sleep after reiki
after receiving my attunement for Reikilevel 1, i was asked to do a treatment on my self for 21 days, and i was also encouraged to work on friends, animals, and plants. there is a lot said about protectingourselves, but my personal views are that Reiki is for the good of man kind, so why wouldReiki harm me when i do a treatment on some one. i always ground myself after a treatment just to put an end to the treatment, but i have never asked for protection. i am now at level 2 in Tera Mia Reiki, and i'm looking foreward to doing my level 3 master.
