Reiki energy going "mild"???
well, just back from hols in Thailand - the whole thing was an experience in itself - good and bad!
Anyway, while there, I was rather naughty in that I did not practice Reiki a whole lot. On the last day, i went for a secession in a spa with a reiki master. To be honest, I did not feel much and the master also commented that the energy was rather mild. She put this down to me not practicing enough. Fair enough. Who am I to argue not knowing enough about it. When I met up with my friends after this, one of them wanted me to do it on her. Again, I did not feel much flowing, except I was drawn to her base chakra and was seeing red. It was only when I did her feet that I felt it in my hands and she felt the heat coming from it.
Later that day, I suggested that I give some to her girlfriend as she had steped on coral (by mistake!!) a few days before. It was the only time I ever just did one part of the body. Within 10 seconds I got this bolt of energy through me (tears in the eyes with blissful feeling type!). I then said to her that she had to feel something at that moment. In shock she said she did. She said that she suddenly felt my hands were hot and as if there was something happening inside her foot where the cut was. I kept my hands there till I felt it was time to remove them. A little while after she said that she felt that her cut was sore and that she felt the urge to remove the plaster from it so to "leave something out". She could not however as we were on sun beds on the sand (oh what a hard life!).
After I have my treatment and then did it to my friend, I thought that reiki no longer was working through me but when I did my last treatment on the foot, it was so reassuring that it was still there - just needed a bit of warming up! I didn't know that it could go so mild though not having done reiki for only 2 weeks.
One question though, what was it that my mate felt she needed to release from her foot after the treatment?? Also, why was I drawn to the other's base chakra??
thanks!

Heya Jac.
Think you might still have those skills lurking in there somewhere. Reiki never completely leaves you, once it's there, it's there. Admittedly it does grow more powerful the more you practice. Sometimes a blockage within yourself or simply not practising can make you feel you're not channelling as well as you should. Self treatments might help, having a short boost from someone else may also help to bring you back up to speed, or simply meditating. It'll come back and it'll grow in strength when you're ready and when it is. It's funny that way.
As for your intuition and the experience your friends had when you treated them, that's your intuition making you see those colours and drawing you to certain areas of imbalance. Trust it. Your other friend needed the energy, and as they say, reiki is insuitive, it'll go where it needs to go.. it's there.. maybe you don't perceive it as strongly as normal, maybe you need a little time to rest, relax, and get used to feeling the energies again for yourself, which will help build your confidence back up.
Don't beat yourself up about not practising, it's there, sometimes our time / interest in practising rises and others it simply falls.. when you come back to it, it'll come back and it'll be like you'd never stopped.

Thanks for you reply Justine!
One more question though - what can cause a blockage?
