Hello all,
I also definitely notice the same thing in terms of therapeutic magnification when it comes to Reiki. It’s been awhile since I received but I also practice myself and I would notice that if I had a particularly strong session, that it would ‘set me up for’ or open the door for a breakthrough later on that week. It would help me with whatever it is that I had been working on. Or, something else entirely that I hadn’t noticed! Doing internal work is a daily practice for me so I found this phenomenon particularly awesome and helpful. This therapeutic magnification would especially be true if I received what’s called an attunement in the Reiki world from someone.
Also just thought to mention here, that when it comes to therapies and healing, I also notice that right before a breakthrough, my ‘symptoms’ will increase and become really bothersome. Just an interesting pattern to notice and share in case others have experienced this. When I am having a particularly crummy day, that will sometimes be my cue that whatever it is that has been troubling me is about to be healed. So it’s good to notice this instead of shooting that second arrow, ya know what I mean? 😉

I read this two part article a few years ago. It is all the more relevant and valuable now that I’ve received a Reiki attunement and have been practising Qigong for a solid 4 years.
It is clear to me I need to continue working on clearing my own health issues and deepening my fundamental Qigong skills.
At the same time I can practise Reiki on myself and others without fear of harmful effects thanks to the different nature of this equally wonderful energy art.
I expect to return to these articles at a later date and intend to share them with healer friends.
Gratitude and well wishes.

Sifu,
This is fascinating! I’m new to the world of qigong and understanding energy and it’s power to heal self and others. And I’m late to this blog, but I thought I’d reply anyway to encourage you to write more on this topic, I really enjoyed the first two articles and I’m anxious to learn more. Please!

I am no Chi Master but here’s an interesting personal experience with the “energy exchange” stuff I just posted. If I’m working with a resident who has a lot of anxiety and is physically shaking, I find that if I give myself a second to calm myself and then let my own “energy” sink, while doing any physical touching of the person especially while their shaking body is connected to mine, I handle their treatment better. If I get into a defensive, resistant mode then I don’t handle the management of their “energy” as well and thus just make myself shaky and the situation more stressful. I have to put myself into a place to receive their shaky energy because I can’t resist that – I HAVE to yield rather than resist it. I’m being totally serious. I need that second to switch gears into calm mode to better handle the situation. I, to a certain extent, transfer calm energy to my patient/resident. Has anyone felt that kind of thing like I’m talking about? I promise I’m still a strong believer in what have achieved with science and medicine and look forward to what we will do in the future. I am not in any way saying we should seek to become gods ourselves, only to do whatever we can to help more deeply understand and care for one another and our planet through any study of all things. My guess is with any Push Hands/Chi Sau training I do with Tai Chi/Kung Fu (Wing Chun), I could further promote my own personal relaxation and thus approach these stressful situations with even more calm to lend to my patients, helping them be more at ease as I help them. And all arts, including boxing, to some certain extent have people laying hands on one another and learning this calming of self exercise while dealing with combative situations. So there you have a personal testimony from yours truly. Keep up the loving work and God bless you all.

Thanks for this article, which I found by searching your site for “reiki.” After 42 years of practicing meditation and various somatic arts, and 8 years of practicing and then teaching tai ji and qigong, I just completed my Level 1 Reiki certification. I 100% agree with what you say above about the difference between emitted qi (EQT) and Reiki. I would add that I experience the reiki as both intelligent, especially of emotional intelligence, and loving, qualities that I have not attributed to the qi that we cultivate in our own bodies using internal or external sources in conjunction with tai ji and qigong. (Tho we can always tap into our own loving intentions.) Another characteristic of reiki practice is to not necessarily direct the “energy” toward what the patient or we think the patient needs, but be open to reiki wanting to go somewhere else, do something else. This was/is very hard for me as a Western-trianed physician to back off from wanting to analyze, diagnose, and fix. In my experience, complementary medicine practitioners do the same thing–not that that’s always wrong. (I wouldn’t use reiki alone for someone who came into my ER with a gunshot wound…) I thought I would start a school of Reiqigong and saw that at least two other people (in online sources) are already doing it. Nothing new under the sun. So I will want to study their techniques and results and keep integrating the practices for myself. I would be like to see you do a whole blog on this topic, reiki and qigong. Compare and contrast.

Sifu Anthony, so many thanks for your articles! This Qi transmission has been a puzzle for me for a long time now. I had Fibromyalgia chronic pain for 15 years, and I thought it will be healed by practicing taichi, then I met master Philip Lai . I went to Ottawa to study with him to find a new way to practice Qigong and taichi. And he gave me treatment for my pain. If I did not feel it in my body I would not have believed it. Then returning home I had daily sessions with him long distance Qi transmission. With his help and the continuous practice of qigong I am now free of chronic pain. But another master I study with insisted I try the FA Chi Si technique. ( Qi transmission for healing) .So I tried , but I ended up with great spasm in my back for a whole week. I had to call master Lai to ask for Qi transmission to heal the spasm!
So, from your articles I understand that being healed from chronic pain does not automatically make me strong (and I knew that. ) or balanced internally to the point of complete health,and that there is much more to being a healer than learning the technique ..just like practicing the form one does not necessarily do Qi Gong or knowing the 108 forms Yang style is not necessarily Taichi…
Please write more I am hungry for knowledge.
Great thanks!

Of course – more please. I wonder if chi energy can be stored somehow or for example how would biomolecules outside the body react – for example a DNA or protein solution. These days scientists also work on breeding organs in the laboratory (with some first successes). It can be interesting how is these organs’ chi without the body. Can they be healthy and strong?
