Can we absorbed the negative chi?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

 

My name is John Choong from Malaysia. I've been an alternative

therapist in reflexology, Shiatsu, and Reiki healing for one year. I

had learn reflexology under the Rwo Shur method.

 

I'm currently doing a personal research comparing and questioning the

different forms of traditional healing art. I would like hear the

views under the Western and other oriental systems.

 

I heard some people claimed that doing reflexology, the practitioner

would absorbed the negative " chi " (sick energy) from the patient.

This could be detrimental to the well being of the therapist.

 

According to some Chinese schools of thought (especially Rwo Shur

method), using the tip of the thumb is gravely avoided as this is the

point that could easily absorb most energy. Prolong usage of the

thumb's tip would result in eye problems, headaches and then other

form of degenerative diseases.

 

1. Is it true that we can stand vulnerable to the patient's

negative " chi " creeping into our body system?

 

2. If this true, is there any method of protection we should practice

or abide before commencing the treatment?

 

Hopefully, anyone of you out there would be generous enough to give

your views.
