DOES REIKI HAVE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

Reiki healing is considered a natural way to heal and just like many other natural healing techniques, contains no major or serious side effects. In most cases of Reiki treatment, a recipient finds himself or herself in a more relaxed and uplifted state. Most people who experience Reiki healing feel nothing out of ordinary except feeling lightness and relaxed, but there are always some exceptions.

When a person is exposed to Reiki healing, the vibrations of the person at the receiving end fluctuate. When the vibrations of a person go up during Reiki healing, negative energies and blockages are released from the body. During this process, the toxins stored in the body are also released. These released toxins go into the main blood stream of the body and travel to the kidneys and liver, where they are filtered and removed.  A person might feel weakness as a result of these quick changes in the body. While some people feel weakness, others might feel a headache or discomfort in the stomach. Bodies of different people respond differently to changes in the body because of a Reiki treatment.

These side effects are nothing serious and almost always short lived.  I always advise my clients to drink water after a Reiki treatment to assist the internal system, and on occasion, I will recommend rest.  It depends on the person and the healing.  A little rumbling in the stomach during or after a Reiki treatment is perfectly natural and a good sign. This means that your body is releasing toxins stored inside.  The human body takes its time to flush out the toxins, and during this time, people may feel that they are tired, sick, or sleepy.  Pain or a headache can occur, but in 10 years, I have only had 1 client who experiences pain for a short time after a treatment.  This person has a chronic pain condition that almost dictates that this has to happen before relief arrives, due to the shift in her energy during the Reiki.   Sleepiness or tummy rumbles is what I most frequently hear about from my clients.

Reiki treatments are often used for reducing the intensity of the side effects caused by different medical treatments. In many cases, Reiki treatments can completely eliminate the side effects caused by medical procedures, or can reduce the effects. It is successfully used to treat the side effects of chemotherapy.
