In December of 2011 I had my First Degree Reiki training. It was interesting and a good experience. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. I really enjoyed it. I attended the free Reiki shares for the next three months and decided to go for my 2nd Degree Training in April 2012.
Day one of my advanced training was interesting learning about symbols and remote healing. Day two however, was one of the strangest and most frightening things I have ever experienced.
I remember sitting in class early that morning, waiting to get started, and suddenly having a panicked feeling wash over me. I walked into the hallway to find my teacher, explained how I felt, like I was about to have a panic attack and was starting to have trouble breathing. She immediately had me go lay on the table, had the whole class come in and explained to them what was happening. She was talking about spiritual attachments and how she suspected it was causing my panic attack.
As I lie on the table, I start to cry, fearing for my life pretty much. The whole class, the teacher, and her assistant all lay their hands on me and start the Reiki. At some point my body started to shake uncontrollably, and my legs pulled up toward my chest. I tried to straighten them out, but my body just couldn't do it. Every time I tried to straighten my legs, I'd shake worse. I gave in and just held that fetal position the whole time. I hear bits and pieces about an attachment being found and my teacher talking directly to this attachment. She asked her name. The name " Maggie" came out of my mouth. I hear my teacher's assistant say "she went to the light". It gets a little fuzzy at this point, but I know she released two more attachments from me. At some point the tremors stop, and I open my eyes. I remember feeling embarrassed, confused and guilty for taking up class time.
I think about that day often. I still can't fully wrap my head around it. It feels like it was a dream rather than something I actually experienced.
Then, just this afternoon, I had another similar experience. I had been feeling really down and depressed today. I did some Reiki research here on the forum. I haven't practiced in a while, but I thought I'd give it a try. Do some Reiki on myself to see if it would help.
It was going really good. I could really feel the energy coming from my hands. I got up to use the bathroom after a while, and decided to lay back down and continue. The second time around was really intense, to the point that my body started to shake, similar to my previous experience. At first, I couldn't tell if my hands were even flowing with energy, but once I calmed down, I was able to regain focus. The energy seem to come in waves. It would be really strong and my body would shake, then it would just be normal energy flow. It went on like this for a while and I wanted to continue, but got cut off by a knock on my door.
Has anyone ever had an experience like this? Is it normal, safe even? My mood has certainly improved, but I'm still a bit shaken up.
