protecting yourself
Since I had my attunement, I pick up on other peoples energies so easily. I can feel bogged down sometimes. How do you protect yourself from this?

Hello Starfish
What kind of thing do you mean, and what king of sensations do you get? Do you mean like when someone is ill, or sad or angry?
How long is it since your attunement? Was it Reiki I, II or III? If it is recent it could be that this is part of your 'cleansing period' and will pass. If not have you tried just asking your guides to help you out on this?
Sorry for all the questions!!

Hi,
I just had my reiki one attuenement a month ago. Since then, there are certain people in my life who I feel totally drained after being around. It is totally obvious to me that I feel different around them, exhausted to the core. This never happened before. I have read about the importance of not taking on other peoples "stufF" when working with energy, and I am just looking for some suggestions on how to do this. Hope this makes sense.

Dear Starfish,
My experience tells me that this will be a temporary condition for you.
What I suggest is that if you start to feel drained around certain people then when you are in their presence either imagine a big brick wall being built up between yourself and them to 'wall them off' from you, or imagine that you are surrounded by a big protective bubble that lets in positive stuff, but won't allow negative stuff to get to you and won't allow your energy to be drained.
try that and see what happens.
But I don't believe that you will need to do this long-term, since it isn't the experience of most Reiki people.
Best wishes,

Hi Starfish
Being an energy worker myself, you may find that to be able to pick up other peoples stuff does have a benefit. When doing any form of healing I pick up other peoples stuff to give me an awareness of there problems whether they be emotional or phsyical and this gives me acess to what is really going. I find that to distance myself from this, when I do not need it. I just think of the intent, in my head, to seperate myself from there issues. But do not block everything as this will not help the people who need you. You will find that people will be attracted to you, like a moth to a flame, now that you have been switched on, so to speak. You can never be bombarded with negative energy and it gettting to you if you think only of the light and love. a miniscule amount of love will kill a great amount of negative. Hope this helps.

Ian
