If one has a feeling of throbbing he should take it to be inflammation in some part of the body. The mind will decide whether it is chronic, ordinary or acute. That can be decided by the intensity of throbbing. Intense throbbing sensation extending up to the shoulders signals sever~ inflammation. For that a holistic practitioner of natural therapeutics should have the erythrocyte sediment rate (ESR) determined. Reiki is effective on its own in less severe cases.
If one feels intense cold, it may indicate an old energy block. These areas need a great deal of attention in order to release energy blocks. A willingness in the client to face old pain or deep forgotten memories may be necessary to release these colder areas. Besides taking steps to remove cold spots, whole body treatment is also recommended.
If hands feel hot, one should interpret it as lack of vitality. The sensations can be between warmth and "boiling" heat. If the sensations of heat are perceptible on the whole body, it does not matter on which area of his body Reiki energy is allowed to flow, as it automatically flows to the needy areas without much resistance. In such cases reactions rarely arise.
