Reiki Healing - Picking up others energy

In reiki the practitioners are too in the danger of picking up other people's or healee's energies to the extend their emotions or start seeing other people's negative events happening in their own lives. This is despite the fact that most practitioners are protected. However we should not forget that practitioners are human beings too and their chakras, or protection means can get disoriented /displaced after a healing session or a classroom. This is also possible when treating people with too much negativity around them or unwell or negative intends or attacked by spirits sometimes. Apart from healers normal people who don't practice reiki can also be attracting energies , or ones who are too sensitive "like sponge".

So does it mean that the practitioner should be careful about whom they healing?? Not really.!!! The below exercise can aid one in grounding and feel comfortable :- 

Hugging a tree helps to ground and release negativity
HUG & LOVE A TREE- our friends

Tree Grounding Method-

• Sit comfortably on a chair, floor, bed, standing.
• Take deep breaths for 5 minutes counting 1-2 ( inhale) and on 3-4 (exhale)
• Keep your intention to ground and imagine tree roots spreading from the base of the root chakra, spine, back chakra and soles of the feet and controlling to the centre of the earth.
• Imagine you being more and more connecting to the center of the earth and it becomes one big root which is deep
• Know that you are firmly grounded and connected to the earth

Yoga Poses- be patient and relaxed during these exercises ( check for details online or future posts )
