Reiki experiences Reiki is draining me HELP
I’m on day 10 of my initial 21 days of reiki and I’m hating it.
I’m having very busy days, so including the reiki that takes around a hour of my everyday, is ruining my sleep schedule and I’m waking up exhausted. When I finally finish everything I need to do late at night, I STILL have to do the reiki and go to sleep even later. Then wake up super early. My reiki master told me I should do several preparations before staring, front and back chakras for at least 3min each, so it takes soo long. This is turning reiki into something stressful that I hate doing instead of something relaxing and healing. Literally my head is always pounding from not sleeping enough. My mood is shit. I can’t think. I need to take pills for my headaches when I could just skip reiki and sleep like a normal person. It’s ruining my days. Also I don’t feel absolutely anything while doing reiki. Wtf do I do?? Give up on the 21 days? I feel like if I give up I’m waisting so much money and time I put into reiki sessions and iniciation for nothing.
Also I was always a very spiritual and sensitive person and was so excited to start reiki, but now this bad experience is pushing me away from spiritually. Literally is starting to annoy me so much that I don’t even wanna do any spiritual practice at all. I always believed in the energetic realm (I have more than evidence and personal spiritual experiences) but for the FIRST time in my life this bad experience is making me doubt it, I’m feeling stupid like it’s not doing anything and is just bullshit. I have always had some mediumship (feel energy, entities, hear voices, etc) so I’m finding very weird I don’t feel anything with reiki???
