Heart Chakra and crying fits
 

So I've been healing the heart chakra which has been a lot more intense than I could've ever imagined. I was wondering if crying towards the end of a reki session is a sign of this energy center properly opening and releasing blockages? I always feel better the following the day which tells me I'm on the right. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced these crying fits while opening the heart chakra.

I've only had one experience with reiki, and it was to heal my solar plexus energy. However, I notice that now I actually push myself to cry when I get overwhelmed, instead of reflexively bottling it up. I am slowly finding it easier and easier to love and be loved.

Meditation on the heart chakra increases sensitivity. I had it too. But, I think better is eastern non-reiky system meditation on chakras. To calm down about three months meditation of the Ajna chakra and then years meditations on Anahata (Heart chakra) until is really open (see chakra siddhi). Meditation on Heart chakra is possible to do every evening before you fall asleep. The best by watching your breath. That the chakra is really open you recognisze when you obtain powers siddhis.

Hi crying when having Reiki would not necessarily link to opening of the heart chakra, although it could well be why you cried. Clients often cry during healing sessions because it opens up areas within that need to be healed. Blockages can be released through a session too. In my experience this often takes a course of sessions. It also depends on the clients inner needs and what they have come into this life with.

Healing is part of the journey, not usually the whole journey, unless a client has worked deeply on themselves.

I often say be aware that the healing will open the door to what you will need to work on. It is a gradual process that will work on your subtle body over time.
