Hi there,
I recently had my first Reiki treatment and was just wondering what others have experienced post-Reiki, or what is to be generally expected. (In addition to my curiousity, I had it done for emotional issues and blocks, not physical or illness). I have felt physical sensations during the past week or so (tingly areas in various parts of my body, mostly in my head - this seems to be the same feeling I've gotten from certain crystals (she didn't use crystals during the session). Immediately after the session I felt sensations of strong energy in the back of my neck and spine, which I guess is typical. The person who did it said that I may experience some emotional release during the next few weeks such as crying, but I haven't experienced this type of release yet. Most of what I have experienced is physical, but I do seem to suddenly be easily irritated by others. I am MUCH less tolerable of other people than usual - such as people at work who are goofing off all day, rude customer service at resturants, etc. - I'm VERY angry and irritated by them, and even spoke to my manager at work and told her I was pissed off and couldn't take it anymore that certain people were goofing off during work time, which is way way out of character for me as I'm pretty quiet and generally avoid confrontation. (could be because of the hot humid weather too though! ) I think I was expecting the emotional release to be sadness not anger. Wondering what others have experienced and if anyone has any thoughts on whether or not my anger could be related to the Reiki.

During the time after a treatment it is possible for lots of changes as the chakras attempt to balance themselves. The 'anger' may be a direct result of the solar plexus balancing, you are not allowing others to take advantage, discovering your self worth. Anger is not a positive outlet and it would hopefully be a short lived experience until you find a more suitable way of expressing your self.

Anger is an emotion and seems you have been *bottling / storing * it up for awhile..so vent it out, but try in a constructive way and not a destructive one..it will pass quickly I feel...the treatment has possibly had that affect on you..clearing out stuff you dont need to carry with you..now you have vented to the boss,no need to do again so just go back and work away again.

Drink plenty of water to flush the system through...have a follow up session if you have not already set one up..I feel you have more to be released so brace yerself perhaps!!

During my first treatment I felt manipulation at the base of my spine and have had no problems in that area since.

My sister commented to my mum that I had become very calm after being attuned to Reiki one and my mum comment how stropy I got after being attuned to Reiki two.
This I believe is basically instead of keeping my mouth shut I was saying what was upsetting me like ‘I can be right some times you know. I cant always be wrong’.

Remember all emotions are a release.

I don’t know how much you know about crystals but they do need to be cleansed especially if you are filling them with negative energies.
This can be done by placing them outside during a full moon.

Hope something in there is of help.

Thanks everyone for these comments-they are very helpful. I will definitely be more conscious of how and to whom I'm venting my anger-don't want to get into any fistfights here!
