It especially worries me that you're posting this in the Reiki forum.

No one who does Reiki is a healer. I also assume you're not attuned to Reiki.

What you described doing for a migraine is not Reiki (Reiki NEVER involves removal of energy), but psychic surgery. I am of the opinion that psychic surgery is DANGEROUS. In Reiki, we add Universal Life Force Energy and allow the Body, Mind, and Spirit to do with it what IT feels needs to be done. Instead of removing energy, it will naturally and gently flush out and negative energies and replace it with positive ones.

Every pain/symptom we experience is happening for a reason, and can often be a warning or a sign of something else. You may have removed the pain, but it will just come back, or manifest in some other way, or perhaps even result in a more serious problem being overlooked because that warning is no longer there for the person to take note of.

When doing "healing" work you need to learn certain very important things in order to be responsible at what you do:

1. Leave your ego out of it, never decide yourself what's harmful and what's helpful (i.e. intentionally trying to remove energy). In Reiki you'll learn to add positive energy with the intent that it works for the Highest Good and let it do its thing.

2. You NEVER just treat the symptoms - you need to treat the source/cause of the issue as well, and the Body, Mind, and Spirit as a whole (all are interrelated no matter what the issue is).

In this sort of energy work YOU are not the healer. The CLIENT is healing themselves, we're just giving them the tools and additional energies needed to help along in the process. We have no magical powers ourselves... we're just channeling an energy inherent in all things. And you'll learn in time that this is a greater gift that being able to snap your fingers and cure someone.

Likewise, NEVER EVER EVER claim you can heal even the most seemingly minor issue (such as a headache). We are NOT medical doctors, we are NOT psychologists, and we should never give even the slightest impression that we have these abilities.

I'm just being up front, please don't be offended, I'm sincerely worried and trying to help.

NG, your post has opened my eyes a bit more. I feel much like you and never looked for anything like the "croix mystique" or "gifted healer" lines in my hands despite the fact that I have checked into palmistry before and even have a book on it. So I looked up both terms and what it looks like and I, too have both! Coix mystique in both hands and numerous "gifted healer" lines, especially in my right  (main) hand!! So I got a nice revelation, or rather an explanation why my Reiki skills have turned out to be exceptionally pronounced. I might just ask for a palm reading now! lol... But seriously, if you have the obvious calling to be a healer and found that the ability is there, all the more - DEVELOP IT!! It's a gift from the Creator you should put to good use!

I agree it does not sound like reiki what you are doing and you should treat the cause, not just the symptoms. But I think you have great potential and need to learn all you can.

Reiki is really channeling energy to allow the body to heal itself, indeed. Many people who do energy work to enable healing are often referred to as a healer. I think it simply depends on how you look at it...

By the way I have never charged for any of my Reiki treatments. I would accept donations, however, it is a GIFT to be passed on! Which reminds me - I should do more of it again =)

I hope to hear more of your healing experiences as you develop your abilities. I would study and explore Reiki, QiGong and other forms of energy work ASAP if I was you!
