I have my second appt tomorrow afternoon and will gladly share about it after I have it.

As for my experience with the first one- I found it very vulnerable to go. Mostly because I am going for an expressed purpose of relaeasing emotionally stuck things. I was scared to have things come up that I was not prepared to deal with. Most of my fears were unfounded. (I did have a body memory surface. I only realized a couple of days ago what it was and what the memory pertained to when I read more about the use of reiki with psychotherapy. At the time of the treatment when it happened I thought "that was wierd" but didn't focus more on it.)

The practitioner I saw was very comforting and soothing. I did find it difficult to relax and go into it at first but that was easier over the course of the treatment. The practitioner talked about how I may feel as if I am asleep but not asleep or feel as if I am in a deep trance- I don't know if I felt either of those things. I did eventually feel very relaxed and began to have images in my mind, much like one would before falling asleep, like loose associations in image- if that makes sense.

The practitioner explained that anything I was feeling or my body needed would would be enhanced after the session. I found that to be true. For example I was extremely thirsty after but I had only been a touch dehydrated before. As well, my emotional state was more pronounced. I was feeling more of all that I had been feeling previously. Everything felt more at the surface.

I didn't really have a good sense of a before and after as there was not a huge shift...I was already feeling pretty crappy when I went so it felt more like a magnification of what was already going on...

I will be sure to let you know about the treatment I get tomorrow and what I notice before and after...

I hope this is helpful
