Reiki - If you don't "excercise it" does it get "rusty"?

Question

Ages ago I was initiated in Reiki and a year later I got to level two but after that I didn't use it much apart from self healing and now I feel it isn't coming through particularly strongly.
Can the energy channels "silt up"? I also didn't practice much distance healing and I'm not too confident it is working right any more.

Answer 1

Once attuned you are attuned for life.... The energy never decreases. Try some meditation before using reiki and envision the energy filling you up from the head down through all of your chakras. Balance your chakras and also try some self-scanning as these will help you to tune into the energies again. If you wanted to you could be attuned again and it will raise your vibration further - but no reiki is with you as much now as it was when you started, your awareness has changed not the energy. Also it's possible that because you have been regularly self healing your body is not taking as much energy now as it doesn't need it - try treating a friend and ask for feedback.

Answer 2

No. To the best of my knowledge, the source of Reiki is divine, so you may get rusty, but the flow is always present.

Answer 3

I did my Reiki one in July, and haven't really used it at all since. Not sure why, but guess it happens. my teacher said that you can / should get reattuned if you leave it for ages. Maybe you could try that?

Answer 4

The more you use it, the more you will feel it. Doing the hatsu rei ho meditation every day will help a lot too.
I'm a RM & if you feel your still having problems with feeling connected, I can send you a distant attunement if you like. I haven't attuned many people & not for a while so it's be good practice for me too! ;)

Answer 5

It may become rusty but if you start practicing again, it will soon improve. A healer who practices regularly has a strongly defined energy channel at his disposal.
