One thing i have learned the hard way is you cannot help anyone if you have not helped yourself. it seems to be a universal law where we struggle to help others if we dont help ourselves. Please always remember to do self healing each day and ground yourself. Get rid of that bad nasty energy being retained in the aura but both healing yourself and getting yourself some sage.
Do not try and heal a person while angry. simply calm and centre yourself before moving on to any healing for others.
Not helping yourself is doing nobody any favors but possibly providing more harm than good. So this is a MUST!
I found an article that goes over this. Also there is a free ebook called, "how to keep reiki by your side all day long"

Self-healing needs to be of primary importance for any Reiki practitioner. Many times it is tempting to put this practice aside, or never start it, with the intention of only healing others. In particular, there can be a belief that the gift of healing is meant to be shared and that you are being a good person by doing that. While sharing healing may be a worthy goal for some, it is even more important that you do your own healing work. It is also perfectly acceptable to learn Reiki for your own self-healing and nothing more.
When we heal ourselves, we automatically show others the way. We also make the world a slightly better place by reducing the level of distress, unrest, and feelings of separation in the world. What affects one of us, affects us all. Each person that heals, heals the collective consciousness a little more. We are all connected, and it is clear that we affect our immediate environment in straightforward ways. Our energy and well-being—for better or worse—is like a little wave that echoes across the world, touching each person as it ripples outward.
There is little we can do for others until we heal ourselves, or at least begin to do the work in earnest. That can sound harsh to those who are eager to begin the work for other people. If this is you, I would encourage you to take a look at the reasons behind your hurry in sharing Reiki with others before offering Reiki to yourself regularly and doing your own inner work. Is there something you are avoiding? Are you driven by guilt or limiting beliefs? Do you feel that you are unworthy of healing? Do you feel driven to stop the pain of others, perhaps because it hurts you, too? Or is it something else?
