Hello
For me I was doing healings before I even knew what Reiki was. I understood from a very early age there was some kind of energy to me or with me. I guess the early Church days did me some good. As I saw and learned that Jesus would lay his hand on one's and bring them ease.
I did a lot and still do a lot of healing via energy on line. It is always done with one's permissions of course. Once I have that permissions it is really I am told a matter of that person thinking on me and in I seem to come to them. Being so fluid in motion of leaving the body its not an issue for me to split and simply be taken where I am needed.
Last night a friend of mine went for a proceedure, and I must have felt it as I felt compelled to sent him a message to see how was. As I have two with similar issues, I was not sure on which one's pain I as picking up on. I feel many times when I connect to someone what is wrong and I work from there.
For general healing Light for say the Earth Quake in NZ its a steam I have been sending out. If I am on line with someone and we are in IM ( Instant Messanger ) then its hand on healing many times I can give. Energy from me hand can go to their hands with hands being on the keyboard. Its felt as a vibration or tingle. Then that is a Bubble as that healing is JUST for them. I too can Astral and physical touch so I can do a massage and it is felt by that person without them even knowing what part I am working on, its done with total trust and respect.
If I am working direct with somone in the physical then its a matter of our energies matching and if I feel they need full hands on or just above will do . Too as I can FEEL full on what hurts I know when and where and how much I can do and not bring in more pains.
I take on what is wrong with someone ( I know and I so do not recommend that method ) but for me I do not CLAIM the pain as mine and I know not the differecne in doing it that way. How I be with Spirits too I have all 6 senses in play with them . How it is and always as been for me so I just let it flow.
When I first worked with a Reiki Master he was OMG you feel that painin somone DO NOT DO THAT to realize when he touched me I had that pain there yes but it was not IN ME . When some work on me the pain level at times I run with in me repell them. I have a huge threshold to pain.
Be respectful of what SELF needs too. Listen well to one's wown body and do not over stretch.
