Need to get this sorted.

[shinto]

Okay so its time to get this sorted once and for all.
I am seriously stuck with reiki.  I am lacking motivation, lacking energy, enthusiasm, drive - everything feels broken and I need to get it fixed.
I feel as if when i had level 1 attunement i was going along nicely with it.  Level 2 attunement i felt ready to do it and had a good day with lots of learning.  I then feel as if i have forgotten everything i have learned.  I have no reiki flow. I have no feelings, i feel as if i have either come to a complete halt or that i have somehow slipped out of gear and am coasting along.
I feel frustrated by this with no idea as to how to sort it out.
I need a jump start almost i think but have no clue as to how to get back on track. I don't like feeling this way but also lack motivation to sort it - except in that i am annoyed with myself but don't have the kick to get it back on track.
Any ideas as to how i can start to sort this out.

Hi Shinto,

The solution is simple, just don't worry about it.
The skills are still there, probably you have other issues which taking your time or other interests.

Just let it go for a while and you will see all in a sudden the interest will come back.
Perhaps even in a more comfortable way

Been there done that

Love, Johan

Hi Shinto,

I have a couple of suggestions which hopefully will help you to get yourself sorted out:

Firstly, you could try a bit of reverse psychology on yourself

I am seriously stuck with reiki.  I am lacking motivation, lacking energy, enthusiasm, drive - everything feels broken and I need to get it fixed.

It might sound like a bit of a weird suggestion, but the next time you are having thoughts such as these, instead of trying to perhaps fathom, grasp the problem and fix it, say things to yourself such as "I am determined to stay lacking in energy... I really want to lack enthusiasm for ever more... everything is broken and I absolutely definately want it to stay that way forever!" say it with absolute stead fast determination and conviction, within seconds your mind will no doubt come up with the counter/defensive arguments to these statements... and, if you can stop yourself laughing  , maybe you'll have thoughts such as "come on now you have energy, otherwise how could you do such and such" and "you do have enthusiasm remember how you blank blank blank" and "there is not a chance that everything will stay broken forever - do not be ridiculous!"

Then the very next time you have those original negative thoughts do the same thing again... pretty soon I'm sure you'll have trained your mind to come up with the positive side of the situation - try to be dilligent and don't slip back into those habitual negative thought patterns - because that all they are - bad habits

Secondly, you could find and attend a Reiki share. I remember in a previous thread you said that you feel little or nothing when self treating or when treating your husband... being around other people who are possibly in the same predicament as yourself with Reiki and getting the Reiki flowing between you, I am pretty sure would move things along nicely. I don't know if you've ever had a hands on Reiki treatment from more than one person at a time... but you can certainly feel it! Also, it's nice and makes you feel good to receive thanks and positive feedback from those you have given a treatment to

I hope this helps, I'd love to know how you get on... keep us posted

Take care, Strawberry

It makes sense to leave it alone and it will come back as an interest when I am ready.  This is what i have been doing, but then to be asking the question indicates that something is starting again. 

I have been going for a reiki session once a month although recently this has increased to twice a month.  Maybe that again is the interest coming back. 

Maybe i should just start again tonight and keep at in on a daily basis until it feels more natural and regular again?

thanks for your suggestions.

You're just experiencing natural resistance... it happens everytime you reach a new step stone. As other members said, negative thought patterns and social/educational programming implented in your system tends to stop you from changing. Also, keep in mind that both reality and your ego are designed to make your believe in the illusion of 3D reality, to better experience it. It's a natural anchoring process, that is now being a problem for people like us, trying to wake up and smell the coffee. Times are changing but the system isn't, thus we experience resistance.  Just try to refrain from forcing when you don't feel like it, but do set up some routines and activities that you go on practicing.  As someone said, follow your excitement to choose the next step.


Don't give up, and don't let the "world" and daily social drama distract you from evolving. Many many things around you are produced just to keep you distracted. See through it and move past it.
Spiritual and energetic evolution have a natural pace to them, that you cannot force however you try. Trying to push the tempo will end up in disappointement, and learning to let it the schedule take care of itself is a part of the global skill up process.



Good luck

So I am doing my best to stop thinking and thinking and thinking.  The thinking is causing me to feel stuck.  I am trying to just let it be. Put the preconceptions away, put the anticipation away, go with reiki.  Have reiki for me, practice more with distance work.  Practice more with friends.  I went to a reiki share - it was good and i learnt something i think

Thanks for your kind words and thoughts.

Hi Shinto,

I would suggest to do what I did several months ago, which is an online Reiki course which helped me allot.
I did Chikara-Reiki-Do but you can check any of these 3 courses, each has its own special extras & qualities:
