Trouble from by the book reiki student!

[blue]

Namaste!
I have recently started working in a shop along with other healers and psychics. I enjoy working there. I recently gave a client a reiki level I attunement as part of her healing, as I had got this instruction through my evening meditation. I rang her and explained why I thought this would be a good idea and asked her if she would be ok with that. She agreed and we met up at work to do this. I explained that because of her problems, she may find a lot of issues coming up and to be prepared for this. She had a bad day, feeling down and spoke to another lady (numerologist) who has done reiki level I, and this lady panicked my client, telling her that I shouldn't have done it and I was very irresponsible! My client then went back to the shop and complained to the owner, who sensibly told her to ring me. I spkoe to her, explained that this was perfectly normal and that she shouldn't worry as it would pass but if I was more than happy to meet with her at work and give her a free support reiki session to flush the energy through. She was happy with this, calmed down, met me the next day and I gave her reiki. since then she has gone from strength to strength. The other lady though is now bad mouthing my work as a healer. I don't really know what to do...I've only just started there...I'm just bulding clientelle and she's about ready to ruin me! Any suggestions?

have you had a talk with this other lady? ask her why she feels the way she does and why she's talking so badly about you? maybe she needs to realize that everyone is different and there is more than one way to skin a cat. (sorry for the southern phrase, there. lol)

I have to agree with Aura. It has put you in a bad spot. Personally, I think the lady who was having problems should have called you right away instead of complaining to someone else. But what done is done. Try to talk to the woman who is bashing you and explain to her what happened and would appreciate if she stopped. Perhaps even give her some type of info about the after affects of Reike attunements and make sure she is aware of it.

Good Luck

I agree in that you should talk to the numerologist about being a professional. If she's going to offer support and advice to someone, great. For her to go and bad mouth you is unprofessional, and I think that those she is bad mouthing you to will see that. I think perhaps keeping it simple is the best approach because the bigger deal you make of it, the bigger deal it will become. All you can do is let tell the numerologist how you feel and let it go.

This reminds me of one of the lessons that I seem to constantly be learning over and over... I am getting better each time it comes up though so that is good...

Although it does strike us when someone does this to us, it something that is not in our hands to control. Our reputation, because it does not lay in our control is something that we should not worry about because we can not control it. Easier said then done, but my suggestion is kindly say your peace with the woman and attempt to straighten out your name and if not then let it go and hold good and positive affirmations in your mind about it after then.

Maybe something like, I am a confident and helpful reiki practitioner and all who should seek my services will see that completely.

I just think when stuff like this comes up, its a lesson for us to remember we are not our ego as ego is what seperates us, so its like a test in how well you can tame it, yanno?

I have had this one come up many times recently and its like just reading this is a confirmation to myself that I need to keep my own concerns with what others think about me,,, out of my head!

(((Hugs))) and reiki flowing to you!

Hi,

I am a newbie too. Just to offer my personal opinion.

Usually if a person acts in a way against you, its out of fear for whatever reason best known to her. Always remember that there is no right or wrong action, each one of us sees things as the truth based on individual percepion.

If you believe in karma, you could say this is your karma coming back to you as you could have done something bad to her in your previous lives. Pardon me if I put it in such a way that could have offended you.

You could also look at it positively that this is a useful lesson which your gudies are preparing you for in your new business venture to be wary of strangers or even friends. Does that not sync with the Reiki principles?

But always remember...generate loving kindness back to whoever that has hurt you, for they could be your best teacher.

Namaste ya'll!
Thank you so much for your replies...they are all valid :-)
Funnily enough...I'm feeling much better about it now lol!
I was very angry to start with and thought I just don't need this, having only just started there, with nobody knowing me as a person. If they did, they would know that I wouldn't do anything to cause suffering to a person...even those who hurt me, I never etaliate. In this case, I was concerned about my work there.
As it happens...I gave myself time and space to think about this and cosidered these to be her own personal issues, what ever they may be...and not mine to worry about. Even though I don't like her way of dealing with this, my client still rang me a few days ago to thank me for my work and tell me she was doing great and busy out and about meeting people on her new path of spirituallity. :-) Also I had a lady come by when I was at this place of work and she stayed to watch me do Chi Kung. After which she started talking to me and told me that she knew this other lady...my energy dropped instantly and I thought "Oh no, here we go." So I took a deep breath and told her that I didn't know this lady personally but I did know that she didn't like the way that I worked. She asked me how I worked, so I explained about using my Guides and listening to what they thought would be best for each client and then following their advice. Generally, I have a chat with them to get an understanding of them psychologically, then I do a Ckakra scan to feel how their centres are flowing, then I give healing and sometimes counselling. I may add to this with an Attunement or anything my Guides advise. She said she saw nothing wrong with how I work, healing madalities, like the energy itself is fluid and every client requires something different. I gave her ten minutes of Healing whilst she was sitting there. She told me my energy was very powerful (I explained that what she was feeling was her energy moving, noy mine) and she even bought me a gift of 5 crystals before she left, saying that she will come back and have a full healing session with me.
You can imagine, that reassured me no end :-) I realised my anger came from my own insecurity and decided to not say anything to this other lady, as it wasn't worth my energy.
Thanks again...you are a very supportive group and I appreciate that :-)

I may not always know the "answers" and I'm sure the group would agree that we are here to support and help in anyway we can. But you eventually need to deal with the issue. It sounds like you have dealt with it and I am so happy for you. We are always here for you.

I'm so glad you found the bigger lesson in all of this and made peace with yourself. Congratulations for being able to see that. Your healing abilities will speak for themselves, as you can see. Good for you!
