hi axelg

thanks for sharing...
meditation is the root skill, and sure is the door to everything........
i have to give two points here... meditation does a boost to the energy flow as it enhances mindfulness, but if we are a little careless we might get into meditating in a way that we attach our session with outcomes and expectations... meditation often takes turns in the direction that we start imagining the happening or occurrence of the outcome that we want from the reiki session... in this way meditation can trigger bringing in our 'head' and intellect and ego in the session, a thing that is best to be minimized...
however, after having experienced this thing happening again and again, we gradually learn how to stay out of head during meditation, and how to let the things happen without us imagining them to happen during meditation....
but, in any case, meditation is sure always helpful... either immediately helpful or helpful in the long run through more training...
take care
