Reiki and Self Healing

I have been a Reiki practitioner on and off for about seven years, and was certified as a Reiki Master in 2016.  However, it is only recently that I feel confident and strong enough to treat others professionally.  During this return to Reiki practice, I have found an acceleration of my own healing.  I am giving myself Reiki treatments daily to heal my ailments, and also am making huge leaps in my spiritual healing.

This has become evident on three occasions during this past week.  These feel like tests that I have been given by the Infinite.  One spiritual practice that I have been practicing is to give unconditionally to others. This unconditional giving means that I am giving through my spirit’s free will, instead of out of ego’s obligations, guilt, shame, or other negative emotions.

The first incident involved a message I received from an acquaintance friend who asked to stay with me along with her boyfriend for several weeks during the Christmas/New Year holiday.  The second incident involved a former colleague who I worked with very briefly asking me to share Powerpoint slides for free from my consulting firm.  The third incident involved a request from my boss to provide him with a Reiki attunement in a practice that I did not teach him, nor did he learn through another practitioner.  All these incidents elicited the same feelings that I did not want to agree to their requests.

For each of these situations, I gave each of them a reasonable explanations as to why I cannot accommodate them and provided an alternative to their request.  I am certain they are not pleased, but these are not things I wish to give unconditionally, and therefore, I will not do so out of guilt, obligation, or the need for their approval.

I have never been good about standing up to others, but these series of tests showed me that I must learn to give unconditionally, and if I do not wish to give unconditionally, then I should state as such, although I still provide some alternative assistance.  For each decision now in my life, I ask myself, “Is this something I really want to do for another unconditionally?”  If the answer is, “no” then I must do so accordingly.
