Something that is common knowledge amoung reiki people and not very well known by others is the concept of clearing symptoms.

What are clearing symptoms?

What sort of clearing symptoms should I expect from a reiki treatment?

Reiki is actually a very powerful healing practise. Perhaps clearing symptoms are part of the reason people like to put reiki in the bodywork category.. because most of the clearing symtoms are physical symptoms in the body.

The most common clearing symptoms are things like:

* laughing

* crying

* more frequent visits to the toilet

* vomitting

Geez! I hear you say.

Who would want to practise anything that produces those kinds of things. (smile) The main reason I wanted to write this post was because I was chatting to a good friend of mine who was telling me a story about his beloved mother. She had heard about this reiki stuff.. and decided to go along and have a complimentary session.. as an introduction.. which is a great idea.

Unfortunately, the practitioner did not really know what they were doing.. and beloved mother had some pretty strong clearing symptoms after the treatment (she vomitted violently).
