I can't dump clients' physical/emotional 'stuff'!

[Nuci]

When I work, be it massage or whatever, I often 'take on' a client's physical/emotional discomfort and feel wasted and very uncomfortable for a good while afterwards as a result. Now, I know various methods on how to ground myself, channel and dump the stuff etc, but I seem to have a blockage actually releasing it. It's this blockage I have an issue with, not the methods I have learned. (Analogy: I know how to use a sink plunger to unblock my drain - that is what is needed and know that it will work, but the drain remains blocked no matter what.)

I have recently been attuned to Reiki I and am getting used to it, so any suggestions how to make the 'release' actually happen (whether Reiki orientated or not) so I can then channel the stuff I need to dump out & away?

Mods: feel free to move this if it's not in the right place, still feeling my around HP!

Thanks.

Burbeckmfht,

Often it is the belief that “we” are doing the healing that keeps us in the mindset that hinders progress.

Before you begin any kind of healing, simply ask in your mind that your own energy not be a part of what happens next, and suggest that your client asks that they receive only authentic healing. If you can keep that thought, you should not take on anything from your client and s/he will not take on anything from you.

Our free will allows us to take on anything, helpful or not, and to keep anything we have accepted. If we use our discretion and only take on those things that are helpful, we have nothing to clear. It isn’t protection—it is choice.

Keep anything in mind or in sight that assists you to keep the focus. Perhaps specific music, a picture on the wall, a pungent odor, or a lighted candle. None of these are necessary to the healing, but they can serve to remind you to keep the healing unpolluted.

We are often taught that intent is the key, but intent can be misguided. We can intend to allow ourselves to be used as a healing vessel or intend to heal a burn. One is helpful; the other is not.

Another thing: Allowing high levels of healing to flow through your being can demand a lot from your physical body. Be sure that you drink water, eat high protein foods, and keep up your calorie count. Some of the exhaustion you feel could simply be the lack of appropriate sustenance.

I send Love for your growing~
