I'll post this in case someone else wants to try it. I guess you can call it energy healing, or simply the power of the mind... All week my neck has been giving me hell. No stretches or reiki or white light would get rid of the tension and pain completely. So last night after having a small success with EFT for my shoulder, it occured to me to try this - I focused my mind and without deliberately sending or receiving energy, I thought "I am now clearing my own blockages" - and simply believed it. I repeated it a few times and just believed that my thoughts would do the work... very soon I could feel my own energy inside me, I can't say that it felt like a flow or a clearing or anything, apart from when it went through my legs and down to my feet. Within minutes, the pain was gone from my neck and voila, with a little stretch afterwards, things were all good!
I've been continuing to use this technique today and I really feel like it makes a difference.
Also, I sent reiki to my mum last night via a text message, and I noticed a way better reiki flow than usual!
So there it is if anyone wants to try it out for themselves.
