Symptoms with self healing?

[Rastus]

Are you gathering energy first?  As opposed to using your personal energies?  That's a common mistake with healing (especially self healing).

That's what I'm trying to do...maybe it's not working so well and I'm using my own energy!

Hmm, I'll reevaluate what I'm doing and see if anything improves.  Thanks

On another note, maybe your body is fighting against the disease?

Also true.
How can I tell if I'm using my own energy or just channeling it if that's not a stupid question...?

Hi Amerie,

If you are using Reiki then you are attuning with a source of Universal energy and you would not be using your own energy up. Hay fever like symptoms could have a multitude of causes. Yet the feeling tired at night is quite natural and a good indication that the healing is being effective.

That could be symptoms of detoxification.  When healing is happening, old toxins leave our cells.  This causes congestion in our lymphatic system as alot of things are released at once.  Try drinking a lot of extra water to help the toxins leave your body.  Also brushing your skin with a soft skin brush helps the lymph move along.  Extra sleep would also be good as your body is repairing itself.  So these feelings may actually be a good sign that healng is happening.  Hope this helps!

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll keep an eye on things and see what happens!

I was attuned by a reiki master a while back, and have recently started doing 20 minutes of self healing each day.  

My question is, has anyone else had any problems when they start doing this?  I don't know if it's coincidence, but I've felt very tired at night, full of energy in the mornings but have had hayfever-like feelings all the time (I haven't had hayfever since I was 10!).

All this has started since I began the self-healing.
I'm wondering if it's my body's way of clearing itself out or something.

Anyone experienced anything similar?
