The Reiki initiation can start with a cleaning process, which affects the body, the mind and the emotions. The toxins accumulated in the body can be removed along with the feelings and the thinking patterns that are not useful anymore. This process might not appear right after the Reiki initiation but, when it will become visible, it is important to understand what happens, so the process can end smoothly. When the change takes place, even if it is good, a regulation time is necessary, so the body and different aspects of your life can get used to it with the new healthy conditions. You might need more time to rest and it might be useful to spend more time in silence, to contemplate your life and make any changes that you need, so you can sustain a healthier life style. Many people found out that a purifying process before and one after the initiation increase the benefits obtained.

Because Reiki is guided by the God-Conscience, it cannot ever harm. It always knows the needs a person has and it will adjust it, in order to create the right effect. Nobody should be worried if it can receive Reiki or not. Reiki is always useful.

In addition, because the practitioner does not lead the healing and he does not decide upon what to work on or what to heal, he is not in danger to assume the client's karma. Because the practitioner does not heal is also easier for his ego, to stay apart and allow God to work through him.

The ability to learn Reiki does not depend on the intellectual capability or the meditation capability. It does not request years of practicing. It is just passed from teacher to student. Immediately, the person has Reiki and he can use it. That is why Reiki is easy to be learnt by everybody.

You can experience cold symptoms or minor discommodes like muscular pains, fever, headaches, mucosity in excess, coughing, constipation, diarrhea and other minor symptoms, according as the body gets rid of the toxins and it cleans and it becomes well balanced.

In order to get easier through this period, make long walks, do physical exercises or practice yoga, relaxation techniques, inhale fresh air and drink a large amount of fresh water. Eat fresh fruits, vegetables and natural juices. Try not to drink coffee or smoke.

Deeply emotions can get out, apparently without a reason: anger, frustration, annoyance, fear, sadness and so on. These emotions were repressible or suspended a long tine ago, in this life or other and now they are released. Don't be emotionally affected getting through this experience. Don't blame somebody for these feelings. Just experience them when they come out and let them go away.

To make this period easier, meditate, deeply inhale and exhale. Make a long hot bath and add sea salt. Stay wet for a half an hour. This will relax you.

Old thoughts, behavior patterns and old habits can get to the surface now. Hidden desires regarding alimentation, drinks, nicotine, caffeine and other can increase. Can appear blaming thoughts, victimization, abuse, abjuration, self-destruction, self-compassion and so on. All these can be healed at each level of our being, from this life or others. Just feel them and let them go away then change your thoughts to positive ones.

To get through this in a easier way, be tolerant with yourselves, do the things you like, repeat positive assertions, mantra-s and listen to your favorite music. All of these decrease the intensity of the negative potential of the thoughts that come out now.

Your believes can be changed now, your believe in how this world operates, how your relationships must be, the religion, what is important in your life. As long as this happens, revelations and new meanings will clear up in your minds; a way of thinking rises and it is possible that even your spiritual thinking will change.

To be easy for you getting through this period, talk with people opened to new things, talk about your experiences, read spiritual books, listen to motivational audio cassettes and treat yourselves with love and understanding. Now you gain new levels of understanding. Accept that everything it is ok and that this process it is perfectly normal. Live the Peace. Let the Divinity to fill you.

Note: if you have some other symptoms that you cannot understand, talk to your Reiki Master for assistance.
