Question: why do I feel so angry after a Reiki session?
Great question! It’s important to note that Reiki can do no harm, however it's not uncommon for some individuals to experience a range of emotions, including anger or irritability, after a Reiki session. Here are a few reasons why this may occur:
Emotional release: Reiki energy helps to release trapped or stagnant emotions, bringing them to the surface. As a result, you may experience emotions such as anger or irritability as they come up for release and healing.
Energy detox: As Reiki clears blockages and rebalances your energy, it can cause a detoxification effect on the physical, mental, and emotional levels. This process might initially make you feel uncomfortable or irritable.
Unresolved issues: Reiki can sometimes trigger memories or feelings related to unresolved issues. This can cause temporary emotional discomfort, which may present as anger or irritability.
Energetic sensitivity: Some people are more sensitive to energy work than others. If you are particularly sensitive, the energy shifts during a Reiki session may feel intense and cause temporary emotional disturbances, such as irritability.
Healing crisis: In some cases, a healing crisis can occur after a Reiki session. This is when symptoms temporarily worsen before they improve as your body, mind, and spirit adjust to the energy shifts.
It's important to remember that these feelings are temporary and often part of the healing process. To help manage these emotions, you can try grounding techniques, journaling, meditation, increasing water intake or talking with a trusted friend or Reiki practitioner. Give yourself the time and space to process your emotions, and remember that the ultimate goal of Reiki is to promote balance, harmony, and well-being.
