Are you overriding Reiki energy?

 When you read this, the first question that comes to mind is, “Is it possible to override Reiki energy?” And the answer is “Yes, you can.”

Human beings are on the uppermost ladder of creation, the only species that has a veto power on destiny. Today’s destiny is from yesterday’s karma and today’s karma is shaping our destiny of tomorrow. And we do have control on today’s karma.

On learning Reiki

When you learn Reiki, you are empowered to channel the Universal (Rei) Energy (Ki) through your body and direct it for self healing or healing of others. This means that higher amount of energy starts flowing through your body and if you are sensitive, you can feel this energy flow in mild, moderate or extreme sensations.

Once you practice self healing daily, Reiki energy balances your physical, mental, emotional fields and they come to a sort of balanced state. Then onwards, you won’t feel the energy flow as before, except for times when there is some turbulence in your life. For some people, this balancing happens in 21 days, but it can get extended to 6 months too.

Do you feel drained out?

If anybody feels dramatic sensations even after six months, then it is the intense desire to control the outcome of a situation, which pulls out your own energy. Another indication is when you give healing to someone, you feel drained out.

Years back when my babies fell sick, I would heal them with my own energy and as a result, I would feel drained out. On learning Reiki in 1997, the best thing I liked about Reiki was despite the number of healings done in a day, one never feels drained out. This is because we are just taking the Universal energy and directing it to the person who needs healing.

The ultimate destination on learning Reiki

Years of daily Reiki healing that bring about balance will take you to a calm temperament where you will be able to view even deeply disturbing life situations and take rational decisions. This happens because you have realised from your own experience that Reiki is an intelligent energy, which has no limitations of space and time, like human beings. So Reiki knows what is best for you in the long term and helps to manifest those. Sometimes you ask for something and Reiki grants you something else, but you are perfectly ok with it as you know that Reiki always works in your best interest.

Then your life becomes like a calm day, when you don’t feel powerful winds around. If your life feels like a hurricane on a daily basis or very frequently, that means your own energy is fighting with the Universal energy. You have not reached the stage of surrendering to Reiki.

Do you work through Reiki or Reiki works through you?

Whether you have reached a balanced state, this is the litmus test that gives the proof. If you think that you have this powerful energy in your control and you can manifest things you want (without caring for the Universal laws), make others behave the way you want, well, that’s a sad state. There is a long journey ahead of you!

If on the other hand, you acknowledge the greater power of Reiki, surrender to it and are happy to be an instrument in the hands of Reiki, you allow Reiki to work through you. Then you experience miracles every day and a calm, peaceful state of mind!
