When things get harder

First: assessment and emergencies

With acute or persistent symptoms, you see a doctor. This always applies, regardless of remote energy work. You also have new or unclear symptoms checked before you interpret anything else.

In an emergency in Switzerland, you can reach the emergency services on 144 and Die Dargebotene Hand around the clock on 143. For children and young people there is 147. In Germany, in Austria and in the rest of Europe, you dial 112.

What your doctor or your psychologist advises applies. You don’t stop any medication or break off any support because you are doing remote energy work. More on this under Alongside doctors and psychology.

One step at a time

The drawing shows the order in which you proceed when you feel worse. Remote energy work only comes after the assessment.

One step at a time: 1. In an emergency, call right away, 144, 143, 147 or 112. 2. Have symptoms checked by a doctor. 3. Let Rico know briefly. 4. You choose how to go on: continue, Daily Focus, pause or end. Feeling worse is not a sign of progress.

What you can do yourself

• Get in touch briefly and describe since when it has been like this and what you notice. Rico adjusts the work if he sees that your field needs more calm.
• Choose a Daily Focus. On that day, Rico pays more attention to the pressure in your field. It does not replace an assessment.
• Pause or stop, at any time. How that works is under Duration, pause and ending.

For hard times, Rico has a simple sentence that he gives people in conversation. It promises nothing and doesn’t tell you what to do:

What that is for you, you know better than any page.

What Rico does then

When you get in touch, Rico doesn’t change anything about the way he reads. He looks at your field the way he does every day. What he adjusts is how much he works and where.

1. He reads your field afresh.Your field is in a different place today than yesterday. Rico looks at where it stands right now, regardless of what you wrote.
2. He takes away more pressure where it is needed.A field that is overstimulated cannot take anything in. That is why, when there is a lot of pressure, calm comes first.
3. He works in smaller steps or waits.The more overwhelmed a field is, the more slowly he works. Sometimes, on a given day, he only looks.
4. He checks the next day.In the check, he sees how your field has responded and bases the next step on that.

Based on Rico’s description of the daily process.

Your description does not steer where he works in the field. But it tells him to look closely, and it is a reason to review the work. Why your concern doesn’t steer the analysis is explained in Two paths that don’t cross.

Why a day can feel harder

A hard day can have many reasons: a conflict, bad news, too little sleep, a time when a lot comes at once. Most of them have nothing to do with remote energy work.

But Rico also describes a case that can be connected with his work. Sometimes a field starts to move at a point that was overwhelmed for a long time. Then even a small change can be too much. If many points in a field are closely connected, more than just that one point responds.

That is why he works in a way that keeps a field slightly underchallenged, and he works, as he puts it, defensively. In his observation, this makes it rather rare for someone to have a day like that. Rare does not mean never.

This explanation says nothing about any particular symptom you have. A hard day doesn’t prove that work was done, nor does it prove the opposite. It is not a sign that things are moving forward, and not a reason to wait. It is a reason to ask and, if symptoms are involved, to have them checked.

In every situation

Hard times don’t only affect people who came to remote energy work already in a difficult phase. Someone who was doing well for a long time, or who wants to move forward right now, can also go through a time when a lot becomes too much at once. The same order applies to everyone.

Rico describes such times soberly. If more parts of a field tip into overload than remain stable, a crisis can develop. It has nothing to do with willpower. He then advises taking a step back and looking first at what supports you. Where each part stands is described in Help, Stability, Development.

Your feedback

What you observe over time matters, even though it doesn’t steer the daily analysis. Rico reads your field, not how you feel. A feeling tells him little about the field. In his model, though, your feedback and your everyday life form a second check alongside his perception: over a longer time, they show whether the work fits your life.

Questions that come up often

Is it a good sign if I feel worse at first?

No. Here, feeling worse is never read as a good sign. It is looked at: symptoms by your doctor, the field by Rico.

Should I stop remote energy work if I feel worse?

You may do so at any time. You can also ask first and then decide. A pause or an ending needs no reason.

Does a Daily Focus help when I’m feeling bad?

A Daily Focus shifts what Rico pays attention to on that day: more to the pressure, a little less to the causes. It does not replace an assessment or the support of a doctor or psychologist. How it works is under Pressure, strength and the leeway.

Do I have to tell Rico what is going on?

Only as much as you want. He doesn’t need it for the reading. A short message, since when and what, is enough for him to look more closely.

What if I’m not sure whether it’s an emergency?

Then call. On 144 or 112, they will work out with you what is needed. Better once too early than too late.
