I had the most wonderful experience last night with my Reiki client.
She is a very strong, caring, compassionate, and capable person working in a very stressful job. Like many, she dedicates almost all her time to others and went to some effort to fit her session in her schedule that evening, so I'm so glad she made time for herself and received a treatment from universal energy.Before I meet with my clients, I clear them during the day and spend about ten minutes connecting with them sending distance energy. Often this will give me a good idea about what we will be working on and if there are any areas that require specific attention. In this case, I sensed stress (very common) which feels like a superficial tingling sensation on my hands. If you poured soda on a plate and put your hand on it, you would feel all the little bubbles; it feels like that.
I also felt short of breath. I felt like I couldn't get a proper breath in it was too shallow. I also specifically felt her root, solar plexus, throat and third eye chakras. There was a lot going on.
I asked about shortness of breath and she said she suffers from asthma, and that it had been a particularly difficult day.
Almost as soon as we had begun, she asked how I received images, how I could "see" something about a person receiving. I'm sure it's different for each person but I typically see an image pop into my mind that comes with a feeling, a thought, a back story all wrapped up in a picture. Like my mind has shown me a postcard or a flash card with feelings attached to it.
She said she had just seen a vision of a well, and she was at the bottom of it, though there was no water. I told her that she was likely trying to communicate with her higher self and that water is typically related to emotions (or lack of, in this case), and said we would look up "well" in the dream dictionary when we were finished.

Common reactions to energy include outbursts, whether they be giggling, laughing, or crying. You're moving a lot of energy and releasing so much built up tension, emotions and feelings that the body processes this the best way it knows how.
During my distance connection with her before her treatment, I had already determined that her solar plexus would require some attention. And about ten minutes into the treatment, she began giggling and apologizing, giggling and apologizing.This is entirely natural and it's a good sign! I love when this happens.
After she became quiet for a few minutes she told me she had just heard a voice say that they had been trying to get a hold of her "for such a long time." She asked if it was normal to talk to yourself? And somehow answer yourself?? How amazing! She had definitely made contact with her higher self and had a clear, strong, and pure connection. The voice told her she was loved, was safe, and was doing a good job. Everything was fine, and she was going to be fine! I had chills. This has happened to a friend of mine during a different treatment that I'll have to write about, but it's so incredible to be able to witness the joy and safety and love the client feels when this happens. In both cases, the client felt such love and joy coming from within, from their higher self. It is so moving to witness.
She told me she used to be connected when she was younger but that she had lost the connection being so busy with her life and job and priorities. She was joyed at the re-connection and was positive that she was going to nurture this relationship.
Well - To see a well in your dream represents your hidden abilities and talents that have not yet come to the surface or not yet recognized. The well is also symbolic of the depth of your emotions. It may serve as a depository for your emotions and how you are trying to suppress them. Alternatively, the dream may be a pun on how you are doing "well".To dream that you fall into the well indicates losing emotional control. To dream that the well is dry suggests that there is an emotional void in your life. You feel empty inside and need to be fulfilled.
