Interested in reiki for the first time
I have been thinking about trying Reiki for energy healing for quite a few years now, I have been feeling a lot of anger (short fuse) and anxiety lately especially around trying to conceive and it taking much longer than expected (I’ve always had a deep desire to be a mother.) Several years ago, I began to have interest Buddhism and meditation, was very much a beginner at meditation and felt much more connected to the world around me, less angry and lighter. Life has since got in the way and I stopped practicing, though I still feel much more connected to the concepts than I do to any religion (even growing up Catholic.) Sound healings have been very therapeutic for me in the past, and I really believe in the benefits of it.
For a couple of years now I’ve just had a strong feeling that my energy is off in some way.. I decided that I wanted to look into finding a Reiki healer. I made a post on the local Facebook page to see if anyone could recommend local healers (I live in Florida), and of course, all of the Christians came for me saying I am opening myself up to darkness, etc. I guess my question is, is reiki recommended for somebody in my situation? Is there any truth to what they are saying, as my assumption was that the dark energy is probably something that already exists within a person and energy healing can bring up these negative thoughts and feelings. And, is there something I should be doing to protect myself before getting into a reiki session? TIA for any insight ❤️
