		<description>Hi! 

I saw that you did not notice whether or not your Reiki treatment was effective. As a Reiki practitioner, I thought I would shed some light on some possibilities for this. I apologize if you are already aware of this information.

After a Reiki treatment one goes through a 21 day clearing period which is a spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical detox of sorts. There are varying degrees that people experience the clearing period as they may be at different places of happiness. For example, someone who is going through a great deal of stress many experience more of a clearing than someone who is mostly content with where they are. 

I have gone through the 21 day clearing period several times, and have found that I may be iritable for the first few days, because the Reiki uncovered any emotional, mental, physical, or spiritual garbage that I had been suppressing. Thus, I had to process these issues for a moment before I could release them. During this time, people are sometimes sensitive to certain foods, crowds, etc. Also, I found it very valuable to pay attention to any dreams or insights that may have come up. Especially during the clearing period, these are was that our subconscious is trying to make us aware of things. 

However, it is important to know that one of the precepts of Reiki is that there must be a shift in consciousness in order for any healing to occur. For example, one may realize that she is in a relationship that is no longer serving her and her feelings surrounding it are causing her to not be fully well. However, if she does not change how she views this relationship, whether she decides to stay in it or not, she will not heal.

The real healing power comes from within the individual. 

I realize I went I a little beyond your question, but I hope this helps to clarify some things.

Peace and love to you.</description>
