Dragon Knight Hi
Sounds wonderful that you are realising your gifts. They will take a bit of getting used to, luckily for you in this day and age there is a lot of help out there. With the easy availability of the internet you can search and find information about practically anything you want, and things like reiki and new age, and spirituality are openly discussed. When I was growing up it was secret and almost taboo so many of us had to struggle and keep silent about our worries and quest for knowledge.
The balls of energy you mention can be used for healing. Have you tried some of the energy exercises mentioned on here? What you need to do is to practise and gain confidence with your energy field. The main thing that you should start to work with is channelling in energy and then letting that energy flow through you to others rather than using your own 'life-force' energy which will deplete your resources and can lead to imbalance and then ultimately tiredness and illness. Life-force is saved until nothing else will do, literally for last hope life threatening situations.
Do you have any feeling where the energy you use comes from? We can draw energy down from above and also up from Mother Earth. Do you know about grounding and protecting etc? These things will help you to keep safe and help others more efficiently
