 Jewelry, precious stones, semi-precious stones, precious metals, objects made of wood or leather are good as accessories, but can be significant blockages on energetic level. Metals and stones attract certain subtle energies. In other forms of alternative medicine, these qualities are used in therapy in order to draw "negative energies" from the body. However, The capacity of these aids is limited. Precious stone therapists know by experience that they have to regularly purify stones used for healing purposes.
If not repurified, the stones will loose the capability to heal or at worst even gather impure energies. Moreover, stones saturated with negative energies have an equivalent emanation. This case is also applicable for metals, glass and plastic. On the other hand, organic materials such as wood and leather are not so easily charged with energy from the environment.
Pieces of jewelry, which we wear all day long inevitably have contact with all kinds of energy vibrations. If they have become saturated with energies in their environment they act like miniature jamming stations and will irritate their carriers, either more or less according to their susceptibility to subtle vibrations.
For the same reason, cleaning the glasses in running water is advisable for headaches. Earrings are a special case as they act on dozens of acupuncture points on the outer ear, which can affect the whole body. Earrings are fixed directly beside these points. Therefore they transmit their interfering emission directly into the energetic channels of the body. However, In order to create the most disturbance free atmosphere the patient and the healer should remove all jewelry, as Rings, chains and watches often form closed metal circuits.
This cause and effect can easily be demonstrated with the pendulum detecting the flow of energy in the body. This life energy is reduced by such closed circuits. Although Reiki energy will not be impeded, as it is a higher form of energy than the meridian energy, the subtle energy system of the body may not fully respond to Reiki energy due to impairment caused by these metal circuits.
Quartz watches emit their own rhythm of subtle electromagnetic vibrations. These vibrations can be measured electronically, as well as through dowsing. The human body has a different vibration frequency, and although its not affected by that of the quartz`s, the latter acts as a constant source of interference which the body must counteract (At least during Reiki sessions). Apart from this minor consideration during Reiki treatment, mechanical watches available are advisable for all season use.
The above stated advice also applies to the Reiki channel that transfers Reiki energy to his clients. He may also benefit from the energy flowing at each session. The energy flow will be more efficient and productive with exclusion of all interferences.
Washing Your Hands
Constant touch and perspiration is the main reason for a thorough hand wash. But apart from the obvious hygienic purpose, washing hands also has an aesthetic meaning. In the initial positions of whole body treatment they are placed directly on the face or next to it where the client can readily smell any odors and feel the hands through the highly sensitive facial nerves. It will be more pleasant for the recipient of Reiki treatment, if the hands have a neutral smell and do not stick to the skin.
Another reason for this hygiene lies in dealing with the subtle plane. A field of energy commonly known as aura surrounds the human body. We can even detect it through the Kirilian-photography method. This aura consisting of rainbow colors has a similar function on the subtle plane as does the skin on the grosser plane, as it protects the inner energy body and provides the transfer of subtle information and energies flowing in and out of the body. Just like the surface of the skin, the aura too absorbs the imprints of things coming in its contact. These very imprints may cause irritation in sensitive individuals. Running water washes these imprints away.
For the same reason, washing the hands after a Reiki session helps to rid yourself of the imprints which you may have taken on from the treated person. If for some reason water is not available, one can also pass the hands on both sides of a candle flame. This is also a good method for energetic cleansing.
