How to Channel More Healing Energy

Have you ever felt pain in your hands when giving a healing session?

Have you ever felt dizzy or lightheaded?

How about getting really hot?

Ever said that the room is boiling when you know deep down it is simply the energy circulating within you?

And what about swaying or moving when you meditate or heal?

None of these things are bad in themselves, but they may be a sign your body is struggling to deal with the high flow of energy moving through you.

I remember the first time I had back-to-back Reiki clients. At the time, my sessions lasted about an hour and a half, and three hours of nonstop healing was more than my body could comfortably deal with.

Unsurprisingly, I got a headache.

Now, if such things happen to my students, I’m not unhappy. In fact, a part of me is pleased because it means lots of energy is flowing.

But that doesn’t mean I want such things to last forever. Lots of energy is good, but we want it to be comfortable.

So what's the fix?

Build bigger energy muscles!

An example I often like to give in my classes is that of a 1.4 litre Getz making its way up the Hume Highway to Sydney.

Imagine it is going 110km/hour up a hill. At that speed, it will be rattling and groaning, and if you pull over by the side of the road, you’ll find its engine is super hot

But imagine, instead, that you’re cruising up the Hume in a 5.0-litre Mustang.

Same speed. Same hill. But the car is purring.

It’s flowing over the land without effort.

So it’s not a problem with the speed and the hill, but rather the machinery.

And the same with your body and healing.

Lots of energy is good, but you need a vehicle big enough to handle it.

Is It Time to Go to the Energy Gym?

To build bigger muscles, you need to go to the energy gym.

You need to work out your energy muscles.

And as you do so, it’s important to know that each time you experience slight discomfort, you’re building bigger energy muscles.

In fact, the strain is a good thing. It’s like the final painful reps at the gym. They are the ones that lead to the biggest muscle gains.

So when you’re healing someone and feel energetic strain, hold it as long as you can. Then, the next time you heal someone, you’ll be able to hold a bigger energy workload.

In fact, before long, you’ll be able to heal people all day without strain.

You'll have a bigger energy engine, and it will be able to go harder and longer.

Specific Things to Help

Apart from building bigger energy muscles from practice, working on your lower chakras will help a lot.

In particular, the hara, the base chakra and the Earth star chakra (which we work on in Chi Activation) are critical.

They create a sturdy energy foundation.

They create energetic stability.

In addition, to avoid energy bottlenecks, it’s important to pay attention to energy entry and exit points (chakras/minor chakras), and energy pipelines (meridians).

Since a lot of healing energy flows in through the crown chakra, it's especially important to strengthen it.

Fortunately, both Reiki attunements and Chi Activation ‘activations’ directly help with this and enable students to draw more healing energy into their bodies.

Similarly, with the palm chakras.

Since energy flows out of them when we heal with our hands, their well-being is critical.

Think of them like taps. If the tap is 20mm wide, a certain amount of water per second can flow through it. But if we upgrade it to 50mm, a lot more water can flow.

The same with the palm chakras. Strengthen them, and more energy can flow through them.

That's why Chi Activation has an entire activation devoted to them, and why a part of the Reiki attunement works on them.

And your body's meridians are no different.

The more you exercise them with meditations (like the ‘breathing into the hara meditation’ from Reiki 1) and do energy work, the more energy they'll be able to carry and the more potent your healing sessions can be.

Summary

Healers often encounter ‘energy strain’ when more energy flows through their body than it is comfortable with.

To this, the solution is threefold:

1.Push on with your healing work as long as you can, even if there is a degree of discomfort. (Don’t stop just because you experience some discomfort – think of the final reps in the gym!)

2.Build a bigger energy foundation, paying particular attention to the hara, and the base and Earth star chakras.

3.Expand your energy entry and exit points (chakras and minor chakras, in particular, the palm chakra) and energy ‘pipelines’ (your meridians).

Do this, and you’ll build bigger energy muscles and transform yourself into a more powerful healer.
