3 Ways to Handle Energy Shifts

Articles· Practice

14 Nov 2021

Energy shifts are part and parcel of Reiki. As we work with energy, we are also more perceptible to the moods and energy shifts or changes around us. Energy shifts are important for us to grow. It has positive after-effects that not only change our energy levels and vibration, but also affects our aura and spiritual and emotional selves.

Whenever an energy shift occurs, you may be susceptible to common side-effects such as flu-like symptoms (kindly check with a doctor just to ensure that the symptoms are not serious) and an increase in your emotion levels.

I’d like to share some tips you can use to handle energy shifts. Energy can also be affected due to Mercury Retrograde or a worldwide event such as a pandemic that affects the energetic system both spiritually and physically.

1. Use Reiki as a Shield.

Remember that intention is key.

The Reiki Shield is a useful addition that you can use to incorporate into your usual Reiki practice. The shield can be used in various way to protect your aura. As for my personal practice, I like to imagine a golden-white shield from the top of my crown to my root chakra.

  • Imagine a shield surrounding your body, and aura. It can be any color you prefer.
  • If you are attuned to Level 2 and above, use the Power symbol to best protect your aura. Intend that it flows through your body and protects your chakras from root to crown.
  • Intend that the Reiki shield protects your personal space and protects your aura throughout the day.
  • If you feel more comfortable, meditating before using the Reiki-shield practice is helpful.

2. Heightened Emotions

A common side-effect of energy shifts include emotions. Whenever an energy shift occurs, you will most likely feel emotions, both positive and negative. If you are more spiritually attuned or an empath, emotions such as sadness may affect you a little more than usual.

  • Common emotions such as happiness, fear and anger are part of the healing process.
  • Don’t try to suppress those emotions. Instead, use the mental/emotional symbol as taught in Reiki Level 2 to help balance out the after-effects of an energy shift.

Focus on understanding and regarding them as emotions that need to be released.

3. Physical Symptoms

Energy shifts also include physical symptoms such as body aches. It is a common part of the healing process. You may also experience headaches and physical symptoms of nausea. However, these symptoms differ from person to person.

Other common physical symptoms are flu-like symptoms such as a runny nose. However, it is best to check with a professional medical practitioner on these physical ailments.

Energy shifts are a part of increasing your strengths as a healer. It is a part of the Reiki healing journey and process, similar to an attunement. You are being attuned to the enemies surrounding you and the world.

Trust that Reiki knows best and is for the highest good.

Love and light always.
