Emotional Healing
The emotional aspects of healing with Reiki
We know that when we are truly happy within our lives, and ourselves sickness
does not seem to manifest as regularly as when our lives are filled with
worries, money problems and emotional issues. Our lives can become enclosed in a
blanket of negativity. This negativity is like a cork that blocks our energy
centres. When this happens, our bodies become vulnerable and exposed to negative
patterns that lead to sickness.
As a healer, it is important to help our patients learn how to become more
positive in their life, and in their healing.
When we expose someone to a small amount of positive energy and love like
Reiki, we are giving them a chance to break out of the negative feelings,
thoughts and patterns that they are running in their lives.
Even just exposure to a positive, compassionate and friendly attitude can make
the biggest difference in a person’s life.
A negative pattern has to be broken before true healing can take place. If our
patient has a lot of negativity in their life you must show them how to approach
negative events and feelings with the belief that time will heal all - if they
are truly committed to wanting a better life.
We can only help someone heal if they really want it. Some people rely on their
pain and illness. Even when a person says they want to get better, sometimes
deep down inside they may depend upon their sickness for sympathy and attention.
It is important to make it clear, that sometimes feeling unwell and negative is
an addiction.
That addiction has to be broken before happiness and healing can successfully be
achieved.
When a person has suffered a great amount of trauma and emotional abuse in their
lives, the negative energy that emanates from these events, accumulates around
them and in their living environment. When they come to us for a healing, they
are entering what we call "a love space". Herewe are able to create a positive
environment where they can relax and heal.
It is important that we assess their living routine and their environment and
help them to make changes. This creates a back up to the healing work you have
done with them. Simple environmental changes using white candles and incense to
create a pleasurable smell and gentle lighting, can make all the difference. We
can also advise them to play soft music and show them how to meditate. Encourage
them to spend more time outside with nature. They can go for walks or even sit
out in the sun.
Anything that is simple and pleasurable will bring about great
changes and improve their capability to heal. It does not have to be expensive
and time consuming. When we begin to work with people doing healing, try and
assess if the person is committed to healing themselves. Make sure that they are
doing it for themselves and not for someone else. When you have assessed them
and you know what type of person you are dealing with, you can then work in the
most effective way that will help them to heal.
