Reiki - Let go the ego

" Me, myself and I " makes us believe that one has confidence in oneself i.e: higher self esteem and good sense of our ego. It is the ego which gives us the self worth, self esteem, self confidence, belief in oneself and ability to perform actions with energy. However sometimes the ego becomes "Big", with exaggerated sense of self importance and attitude that we are bigger than others. Surprisingly this is applicable to Reiki healers or practitioners too.

It so happens when we start performing healing on others and we get positive outcomes or some esoteric presence or information or ability the healers unknowingly tend to consider themselves bigger than others.

It also happens that sometimes the healer tends to pick up energies of the healee not only from open aura or lack of  protection or grounding but also cause of  big ego.

Following are the things which as practitioner or healer one can re-look or consider:-

• Always know that you are just a medium, it is not your energy but universal energy which belongs to everyone
• One should not focus on the outcome, neither should one promise that a problem or ailment will heal in some X number days or hours
• Trust in the universal energy
• Try not to take responsibility that one has to for sure heal someone or an event under any circumstance. 
• Let go of feeling of burden, attachment, worth with healing event.
• Incase of  healing a dear one its more easier to pick energy  and be attached again cause we think its our moral responsibility to take the pain of the loved one. One should heal as a healer not as friend/loved one
• Not making personal decision to channel energy esp in a person
• Always know there is a higher force or energy bigger than our ego. Please if at any stage you have started counting the number of people whom you have healed and developed a sense a pride - then it is important to do a stop check and revisit the core learning of Reiki.
• Start healing your heart chakra especially with emotional healing symbol and similarly heal the Manipura chakra with emotional healing symbol.

It is important to know the healer is also a human being prone to good and bad attitude, it is just about taming the so called " big ego" .
