Reiki is sacred—but energy must never bypass consent. This post explores the shadow side of lightwork: how energy can intrude without touch, the subtle signs your field has been crossed, and the ethical roots of true healing. Learn the three levels of Reiki—Shoden, Okuden, Shinpiden—and how to protect your aura from unconscious projections. For those called to heal with integrity, this is a path of presence, not assumption.
