I taught Reiki 1 today, and during that time something uniquely interesting happened.
When doing Reiki, one places their hands on each chakra location and the knees and feet (no not at the same time). This includes the throat chakra. Now sometimes a subject will have a problem when a practitioner puts their hands around the throat. One of the positions which can be employed at the throat is a strangulation hold although one uses very little or no pressure. It is understandable that someone could become a bit uncomfortable. But this was different.
When either the student giving the Reiki or myself would put our hands around his throat, he felt cold, like it was bad energy. Aside from the obvious discomfort, sometimes a past life experience can manifest energy into the current life if a strangulation occurred in that past life. (We know that Reiki, like massage, can hit certain areas that can call up emotions from past experiences. Usually this is from the current life. A subject can start crying or laughing during a session when one of those is triggered. I had a student one time that was concerned about receiving Reiki as she felt she carried a lot of emotional baggage.) But his was a different situation.
Sometimes violent deaths in previous lives can cause energies to manifest if the situations are right. A friend of mine is uncomfortable when hands are placed around her throat, but she knew she was strangled in a previous life. My student today knew nothing of his past lives.
I asked him to visualize hands on his throat squeezing and to tell me if that gave him the same feeling. He did, but the feeling did not appear. Another picture came to me and I asked him to visualize his head on a chopping block and an axe coming down. This also did not create the same feeling.
After he was done his session, I sat him in a chair and put my hands around his throat and did a little Reiki. This produced that same uneasy, bad energy feeling. I move my hands to a different position (still around his throat), and the feeling changed. I moved back to the original position and the feeling returned. The feeling was happening when my hands were at the front of his throat only. Then I did something I haven’t done before.
I opened myself up and jumped into the timeline of his lives searching for a strangulation feeling. I found one. I had the feeling (and I don‘t know how much of the picture came from the past life or from an old movie I saw on TV) that he might have been on a ship in a period from the 1500’s to the 1700’s. He was lying on his back with his head over the edge of something with something (maybe a rope) around his neck pulling down at him strangling him. This could have been a rope or a garrote. The bottom line was that he had died of strangulation.
I reached out across the timeline and pulled at the energies, and pulled them out. I smoothed his aura then returned my hands to his throat (in the same position) and did Reiki. This did not bother him now. In fact he said it felt good and warm.
I’ve seen people pull out karma problems from past lives, but this is the first time I’ve ever tried it. It was very interesting. Hopefully, I’ve removed a trigger point that was in there from long ago. I’m glad it worked and that he felt better afterwards.
