Lesson 3 Reikis Negative Side
Reiki's Negative Side As with anything in life, there are always good and bad sides. Reiki proves to be no different. Making the decision to embark on the process of acquiring reiki skills takes time and effort. A certain amount of commitment and perseverance is expected which is sometimes difficult to muster in this тАЬinstant gratificationтАЭ expectations of todayтАЩs society.
What To Watch For To ensure the potential reiki practitioner is able to garner positive energy, certain sacrifices needs to be made. Refraining from consuming meat, fowl or fish a few days before attempting a reiki session is a prerequisite.
As purity is the ultimate goal when practicing reiki, consuming food and drink items that contain drug, pesticides, toxins and other negative ingredients are strongly forbidden. These negative elements cause the body system to be thrown off balance and so disrupting the smooth flow of positive energy.
Going on a water of just juice fast is encouraged. Minimizing caffeine intake or cutting it out altogether is also required. These elements also create imbalance in the nervous and endocrine system. Other things to avoid at least three days before practicing a reiki session are alcohol, sweets, and smoking.
Keeping a quiet and peaceful lifestyle is also encouraged, however this may prove to be difficult in the fast pace surroundings of everyday life. Reducing exposure to outside negative elements is also necessary, thus watching TV, listening to unsettling music and reading distressing news are all discouraged. Keeping away from all other negative mental states, like, anger, fear, jealousy, hate, worry are important, as these emotions can block a person from achieving a successful reiki session. In some extreme cases, reiki practitioners tend to ostracize themselves from others, simply because they consider those around them тАЬcontaminatedтАЭ and full of negative energy, which they donтАЩt want to be connected to.
