What should I feel as a healer? is a question that I’m often asked. Depending on the books you have read on Reiki and Spiritual or Energy healing will depend on what you are going to expect.
You will probably have been told either by your Reiki Master or Spiritual Healing teacher that you should feel some kind of tingling or heat coming from your hands when you are administering a healing treatment. I also know that when this doesn’t happen you will probably think that you can no longer heal. Well let me assure you that this is not the case.
As healers, whether Reiki or Spiritual/Energy healers, we are all channels for the healing energy. It is not us doing the healing, it is the Universal Life Force Energy or Divine Energy that does that. As such this intelligent energy knows where it is needed and how it is to be delivered. Therefore if the healer themselves feels nothing, then that is how the healing for this person is meant to be. Do not question it, just accept it.
You should also remember that for many healers when they are first attuned they need the reassurance of sensations in their hands, but as they become more experienced and confident, that need is no longer essential, therefore this is another reason why the feeling of heat and tingling in the hands diminishes.
Once you have been given the gift of healing, whether attuned to Reiki or Spiritual/Energy healing, that gift is with you for life. It will not go away, it will not fade. It may change, but it will never leave you. Trust the healing energies and expect the unexpected.
Some of the best healers in the world feel nothing themselves, but it doesn’t make them any less effective.
