hey there!
As a quick one...yip the hands certainly do become all hot and tingly, mine actually burn.
The major thing about healing is that one must be careful to not use your own energy/life force to heal and that's a mistake many healers make.
So thats why its a good practise to meditate getting your energy from the Universe. Just try working with the energy coming from the universe through your crown and then filtering down through your body and out through your hands, in reiki, the way I was taught to get the flow going was that you imagine a ball of energy above your head (that is a mini representative of the Universal energy) breathe in the energy through your crown and then down to your solar plexis; then the energy goes back up through your heart chakra and then down through your arms and out through your hands. Don't force it.
Its like its a tap of running water and all you need to do is open it, and out it flows naturally and smoothly
...maybe even check out Alex Grey's work - its great for a visual rep of the energy lines in your body etc.

hands clenched all the time...well one thing is that hands are about giving and receiving, an open hand receives like in yoga you always turn your hands up facing the sky so that you can receive the Universes energy, and also gives as when you hold a persons hand you give support and care and with hands on healing etc.
I am a nail bitter when I get stressed, and I read up once that I was indirectly taking my defence away by doing so...like biting my claws away, the claws that could protect me.
I also clench my hands, or rather close them when I am feeling too much energy, I find that the dangling fingers can sometimes create too much of an energy difference that can be a little too much at times. So I keep them closed - I feel safer. Like I'm not going to influence anything that way.
I was also told that I was a healer from another
Good Luck and keep posting with all your questions and thoughts!!
WELCOME!!!
