Dear Karen,

I recently found out that I am pregnant and it was the best birthday gift ever! Anyway, I was scheduled to space clear our apartment but I decided to write you first to ask if that is okay. I am doing Reiki and I'm still doing it right now because I think the baby likes it. Is there a way I can still do space clearing by protecting myself with Reiki? What are the concerns why pregnant women can't space clear? Do you recommend stopping energy work all together while I'm pregnant? Your insights will be deeply appreciated.

Karen's reply:

Reiki does not offer any kind of protection during Space Clearing. Even my most experienced practitioners cease Space Clearing during pregnancy and breastfeeding because of the effect it has on their babies. Energetic debris passes to the baby instead of being dealt with in the usual way.
