Q & A: Is it disrespectful to your Reiki Teacher to get another attunement?

By Josslyn Streett, Reiki Master/Teacher for Rain Shadow Reiki Energy Healing Center in Sequim, WA

“If I’ve already had a Reiki Level 1 attunement from one teacher, is it disrespectful to my original teacher to get an attunement from another teacher? I was under the impression that you only got an attunement with each level of learning. Is it ok to get more? Thank you, M

Good Question, thank you M. No, it is not disrespectful to your teacher at all to get another attunement. Reiki Master/Teachers have often come to me and asked me to exchange attunements with them for a boost in energy or for a special intention in their energy or even just to bond with each other by sharing this very special ritual. And, your teacher wants what is best and healing for you. If you FEEL an attunement is for your best and highest good and you are not currently in the same area with your teacher, talk to the Reiki Teacher you are currently working with about having one or ask Reiki Source to send you the right teacher for you.

WHAT REIKI ATTUNEMENTS DO?

Reiki Attunements do a whole lot more than ‘hooking’ you up to the Reiki Source. Yes, you would think that is enough, and it is. Actually, that is incredible. But, to prepare your bodies (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual) for the attunement and ‘hooking’ you up to Source, the attunement also prepares your body to receive the Reiki and allow the Reiki to flow through you.

During this Reiki ritual your energy bodies, chakras, Joy Circuits, energy meridians and aura all get a boost, a clearing and a healing. Reiki wants your body to be at it’s highest vibration when you are connected to the Divine Healing Energy of Reiki, so it raises your vibration. This attunement process is very healing to you on all levels and will also clear any blockages that could be keeping you from reaching your full potential. This is one reason people see/feel detoxifying processes for 30 or more days after a Reiki Attunement, because it’s deeply healing. I have had people report miraculous physical healings after attunements as well because blockages were cleared.

So, if this process is so good for you, any Reiki Teacher worth their weight in Reiki would want you to have one if you want one. We as Reiki Teachers want our students/clients to heal and be happy on their healing path, so the attunement is just one more way to help that happen.

Thank you for your questions, email or comment them to me on any page and I’ll get them. rainshadowreiki@gmail.com .

Q & A – Doing Reiki While Stressed?

By Josslyn Streett, Reiki Master/Teacher for Rain Shadow Reiki in Sequim, WA

QUESTION:

Thank you Josslyn for sending daily Reiki to my sick dogs. I am attuned to Reiki but I haven’t been using it to send healing to my dogs because I’m so stressed about them being sick. Will the energy be enough if am under stress. I know that I need to heal myself first before I send healing to others, but I am not confident if I am worried like this, that they are getting what they need.

Kindest regards,

J.S. from the Philippines

ANSWER:

Dear J.S.

Our Divine Creator understands we humans are stressed much of the time, this is one of the reasons we have been gifted with Reiki at this time to help us deal with the high stress levels we are under while in human form and help us learn how to lower it naturally and spiritually with the help of Reiki.

If we all waited until we were not stressed or completely healed before doing Reiki on others, we would literally never be able to do Reiki. None of us are perfect and yet doing Reiki will help us get closer to spiritual enlightenment. One Reiki healing at a time.

The Reiki is Divine energy, we are just the channel. The Reiki is intelligent in its own right and knows exactly what is needed in each situation. Therefore, all we need to do is ask and be the channel, then allow the Reiki to do the healing. All healing comes from our Divine Source, not us. Therefore, Doing Reiki while stressed is better than not doing it at all. Right!?!

By doing Reiki on your sick dogs, the Reiki will heal your dogs in the way they need most, and the Reiki will flow through you, helping you to feel less stressed, thus healing you too. Reiki is a win/win situation. Everyone in the process receives exactly what they need. If you were stressed when you started, I bet you feel much calmer by the time you are done. Maybe you even have a ‘higher’ understanding of why your dogs and you are having to go through this period of dis-ease. But, just by knowing you are helping your dogs, you too will feel better.

Go ahead and do it, it will be exactly what your pets need and will most likely de-stress you in the process too.

Blessings,

Josslyn

P.S. If this was a Reiki Practitioner working on a client for money, the answer may be quiet different. This person was working on her own pets, not a paying client.

Q & A : How Can I Run More Reiki Energy?

By Josslyn Streett, Reiki Master/Teacher for Rain Shadow Reiki

Question: One of the questions I get a lot is, “How can I run more energy?” or “How can I be a better channel for the Reiki energy?”

The Quick Answer: Practice, practice and more practice. Daily Self Reiki is the key. Plus, eating and living a healthy and spiritual life, meditating, looking in the mirror, practicing what we preach, and honing our skills as a channel for the Reiki energy.

The Longer But More Thorough Answer

Some people have expressed to me that because Reiki is Divine energy it should be easy for everyone to run it the same. Maybe, but all of our bodies are different with different abilities. We can’t all sing the same, or do gymnastics the same, why would we expect to all run Reiki the same. Hmmm…something to ponder.

Yes, the Reiki is from Divine and once attuned, always attuned. But, our bodies are still human and we channel Reiki through our human bodies. Some people have physical bodies that are naturally tuned to channeling Reiki and others will need to practice at it a bit more. It is like this with pretty much any skill, some are naturally good at pottery the first time they take a class, (not me) others will have to practice more. For many of my Reiki I students, channeling Reiki is their first time channeling anything energetically through their physical body at all. Many don’t meditate until after my class or do energy work. So, this is something that is all new to their bodies. All new, at any new skill, takes practice, even with Reiki.

Example: Singing Gift vs Reiki Gift

I truly believe that we come into this life with the God-given gifts that we require to be successful in our specific life goal. I believe with Divine’s help, we chose these gifts carefully beforehand. Some of us chose determination, some chose patience, forgiveness, calmness, motivation, or courage. I believe we also chose abilities for our human body such as, some of us need to be amazing scientists, writers, dancers, artists, and others need to be excellent channelers of Divine Energy. No matter what, we have the gifts that we need in order to be successful in this life. It is up to us to break through our fears and hone these gifts like a professional singer does. Practice, practice and more practice. Then be grateful for the gifts we have and we will be showered with even more abundance in this area of our lives.

I compare the ability to channel Reiki to singing, another gift from Divine. Again, I believe people who need a particular singing voice will choose biologically a family combination that will allow them to have this musical talent. Some people have beautiful singing voices from childhood. However, they still practice and practice to hone their skill if singing is important to them. Some people are naturals at it, others take more practice but can still be great, others have great singing voices for themselves or their shower, but don’t necessarily want to sing to the world. It’s all good. It is all Divine and perfect for us and our needs. But, if someone wants to improve their singing voice, they will need to practice and possibly work with a coach.

Reiki Practice

This is the same with Reiki. If you want to do Reiki to heal yourself only, you still need to practice on yourself, daily. YES, DAILY. (If you actually want results) If you want to do Reiki on others, you’ll need to practice on others and for the Highest Good, study with a Reiki Master to get help along the way or establish a very strong Love and Light connection with your Reiki Guides. Preferably both. If someone wants to be a Reiki Master/Teacher, this in turn will take more practice, more time, more help, more honing, more experience, etc.

Divinely Reiki

Just because Reiki comes from a Divine source it doesn’t mean we still don’t have lessons to learn about channeling Reiki energy through our human bodies. Most of us do. Most of us are working with the Reiki in the first place to help us with these issues. So, sorry if you don’t want to hear it, but… “PRACTICE MAKES BETTER.” Yes, even in Reiki, practice makes better. You’ll feel better, be able to run more energy better, be able to FEEL the energy in your hands and body better, be able to manifest the things and life you want better. All of the above. JUST DO IT!

It’s worth it!

In Love and Light,

Josslyn

Questions For the Healer – Pee Much?

By Josslyn Streett, Reiki Master/Teacher of Rain Shadow Reiki

Gotta keep it light!!

STOP TO PEE! He's just to o cute not to share. — STOP TO PEE! He’s just too cute not to share.

I giggled when my client asked me this question and then quickly answered it for her when I realized she was serious. But when it came up again in Reiki II class the other day, I thought, “Hmmm, I bet other new practitioners may be wondering about this too.” I mean, what do you do with the client’s energy if it is a long distance session, while you are gone taking care of business?

PEE MUCH?

Yes, I do have to use the restroom sometimes while in the middle of a healing. It doesn’t happen very often, I’m pretty good about going right before a session but it is not always possible to regulate your liquids in such a way that you never have to go during a session. And, if your bladder is bothering you during a session, the Reiki may not flow as easily, or it may flow better. LOL, everyone is different. But it is possible to come ungrounded or uncentered because you are focused more on your bladder than your Reiki and client. So, it’s good to know, you can excuse yourself respectfully and take care of business.

The Reiki and tears may flow from clients on the table, but some things are best taken care of out of the Reiki room. This post I just thought was a little too weird not to include it. Don’t try to hold it.

Here is what I do if I do have to use the restroom during a session, in person or over the phone. Just in case you wanted to know.

My HOW: I’m sure there are many ways to do this and now that you’ve had your attention drawn to it, you’ll probably get to practice it. Here is my way of doing this.

Tell the client that you need to use the restroom and ask if they too want to get up and use the facilities. Quite often they need to go also. (Please don’t try to sneak off, this is disrespectful to your client and does not build trust.)
Ask Divine Source and your Reiki guides to surround and protect the space, the client’s energy and yours, while you exit the healing space. Visualize clear bubbles of love and light surrounding both of you.
Long Distance Sessions – If the client is long distance and I am holding their life force energy in my hands, I find a safe place to put their energy such as on a pillow or on the couch next to me, I call on Divine Source or my Reiki guides to hold their energy in a small ball of Light for me while I go to the bathroom. Just like if the energy were being held in my own hands.
Wash your hands really well after you use the bathroom. Do not be in such a hurry that you forget this important step. Wash with intention, repeating a positive intention, such as “clean and clear.” Feel that mantra while cleaning your hands. Reiki guides can help you with this if you ask them.
When you come back, take a moment to readjust to their energy field so you can feel it again just as strongly as you did before. Take a moment to run some Reiki on their energy or chant silently the Power Symbol (CKR) or just the intention of ‘more power’ and you will very quickly be right back where you left off.

RELIEF

It’s pretty simple and I’m sure many of you would have figured this out with the help of your Reiki guides. But, lets see how many of you after reading this, all of a sudden get a chance to practice this now that it is in your conscious mind. So, now you can happily excuse yourself to go pee and feel good about it too.

QUESTIONS? ANYONE?

I love answering questions from my readers, clients and students. Please feel free to ask here on the comment section or email me. I will not use your name or can just use your initials, but many people can learn from YOUR questions. I look forward to any questions of Love and Light about Reiki or spiritual work. If I don’t know the answer I will ask some of my other healer/psychic friends or, my guides, or just tell you that I don’t know. Often times I can go into meditation and ask my guides. Please don’t ask me who killed J.F.K. That’s been done.

Blessings to you all, thank you for reading,

Q & A – Reiki Starting BEFORE the Session Starts

By Josslyn Streett, Reiki Master/Teacher for Rain Shadow Reiki in Sequim, WA

QUESTION FROM ONE OF MY NEW REIKI PRACTITIONERS

Hi Joss,

I was wondering if you start to feel things (Reiki) working when someone asks for sessions with you. I am finding that as soon as someone asks me about having a Reiki session, things start working. I feel their energy allowing the Reiki from me to start some of the work.

Love and Blessings,

Sharon from Battleground, WA

ANSWER

Josslyn’s email back to Sharon

Hi Sharon, yes, this can happen. Once a person decides to have a Reiki session and chooses a practitioner, the Reiki can start flowing right away. This depends upon the client’s higher self (soul self) and what they need and want. If they need the Reiki right away to start preparing them for the session, or because they really need immediate healing, then they can start drawing it right away. It is up to you, of course, to allow this or not. We all have free will. Make sure it is within your boundaries to allow this or not. Is it comfortable for you? Are you accepting of this happening? If you are not ready for this step yet, simply tell your Reiki Guides your intentions and ask them to help you find a solution that works for both you and your client.

Building Up the Ability to Run Reiki A lot

For some new to Reiki,their physical bodies may not be used to the amount of energy flowing through it yet. Running Reiki all the time or when not expected to be doing it (check your boundaries), could sometimes tire them out. Our bodies will gain the ability to run more energy and more often as we practice more often in our Reiki sessions, both on ourselves and on others. This will get better in time as we practice more and our bodies gets more used to it. Some new practitioners to Reiki may already be on the spiritual path prior to taking a Reiki class, doing yoga, meditation, eating healthy, doing other energy work, etc. so their bodies may be set up and ready to run Reiki more than others. Some people may have physical bodies that are just made for this and have no issues at all with running the Reiki even all the time.

Practicing your Reiki Gassho Meditation daily will help your body adjust to running Reiki energy and help you to be able to run more Reiki, more often.

Everyone is different and we must not compare ourselves to anyone else. Reiki is perfect for all of us at exactly the right time, teaching us as we go, as we practice. For me, due to some chronic illness, I had to build up to this ability and it took some time and practice. But, I got there. I worked on my grounding, my boundaries and I really focused on being grateful for simply having the Reiki and being able to channel it. Being grateful for where we are on our path at that time, no matter where it is, is very important to the Reiki path and being able to run more Reiki. It was for me anyway.

Possible Solution

You might want to get a Reiki box or some designated box/bowl to put people’s names in and allow the box to act as the channel. That way your body is not channeling to others all the time.

I purchase my Reiki Boxes from Mary Riposo at ........ for about $10 each. They make wonderful gifts for people who work with Reiki. That is how I got mine, a gift from a dear friend. — I purchase my Reiki Boxes from Mary Riposo at Integrated Energy Healing for about $10 each. They make wonderful gifts for people who work with Reiki. That is how I got mine, a gift from a dear friend.

I use a Reiki Box that has been charged with Reiki and Reiki Symbols and can thus channel the Reiki all the time, even when I’m not putting my hands on it and running Reiki. I keep the box next to my bed and do Reiki on it almost every night before bed. It’s become a beautiful spiritual ritual of helping others and I feel good about doing it. This seems to help me. That way I can ask if people want to be receiving Reiki before during and after a session and you can put them in the box.

Please let me know if this did not answer your question,

Blessings,

Josslyn

REPLY

Thank you Joss,

That is so helpful! I love the idea of a Reiki box. The Reiki was very strong with a new client the other day. The strongest I had experienced. She wants to work with me more and I’ll discuss this with her. I’m excited to be working with a new client that I don’t know. Somehow it helps me in receiving the confirmation from a person I don’t know. I am amazed daily by the way Reiki works in my life and makes it so much more…I don’t even have a word for it. I ‘Reikied’ my office space at work. I can feel the entire office sighing in relief.

I miss you so much!

Blessings,

Sharon

Q & A – Reiki with Medicine

By Josslyn Streett, Reiki Master/Teacher for Rain Shadow Reiki in Sequim, WA

QUESTION:

Hi Josslyn,

Thank you for sending Reiki to our dog with Parvo. Our other dogs are positive already so we are going to call the vet to administer medication to them. Is it ok to give reiki while they are in medication? Will Reiki wear off the effectiveness of the vaccine?

Please send positive healing energies to my dogs. 🙁 I am really worried about them.

Thank you so much.

Kindest regards,

J.S. from the Philippines

ANSWER:

Hi J.S.,

Please be reassured, Reiki will not interfere in medication working in any way, if you are attuned to Reiki do it as much as you can. In fact by doing Reiki on your pets and their medicine you help to bring them in to balance with each other (positive vibrations working together as one). Reiki is healing energy directly from our Creator. This means, it is intelligent energy from a Divine Source, knows exactly what is needed for each pet and it does not harm ever.

Thank you for your care and concern for your pets, I’m happy to do what I can as the channel for the Reiki.

Blessings,

Josslyn
