Common Mistakes And Misconceptions

Mistake/Misconception	Correct Viewpoint
Reiki always results in energy overload.	Reiki can result in either an energy overload or an energy drain, depending on the individual’s needs and the practitioner‘s skill level. It is important to communicate with your practitioner about any discomfort you may be experiencing during a session so that they can adjust accordingly.
Energy overload is always a bad thing.	While it can be uncomfortable, energy overload can also indicate that the body is releasing blockages and healing itself. However, if it becomes too overwhelming, it is important to communicate with your practitioner and take steps to ground yourself after the session.
Energy drain means that Reiki isn’t working for me.	Energy drain can actually be a sign of progress as it indicates that stagnant or negative energies are being released from the body. It is important to rest and drink plenty of water after a session to support this process of release and renewal.
I don’t need to do anything before or after my Reiki session because everything will just balance out on its own.	While Reiki does work towards restoring balance within the body, there are still things you can do before and after a session to support this process such as staying hydrated, getting enough rest, practicing mindfulness or meditation techniques, etc.
