is it OK to send distance Reiki when I have a cold?

not a trick question. Not a joke. Always wondered. I hesitate to send Reiki if I'm sick or feel off-center; I like to be my best self when I share Reiki with others. That's one reason Reiki inspires me to be as healthy as I can be. I want to be my healthiest best self because I believe I'm part of this process of sharing Reiki. I believe that as a nurse, and a Reiki practitioner, I interact energetically with my clients.

I don't see myself as merely a pipe or a vessel.
I'm alive.
My attention alters the energy.
I interact with the energy and with my clients.

Do you agree?

Or do you believe that sharing Reiki is a passive process? Sure, I need to step back, take my ego out. Get into the flow. Relax and just be. But then. Then I disappear? If my energy has nothing to do with Reiki, then why can't a student get attuned from a book or online? Isn't Reiki alchemy? The magic of connection and love, also known as universal life force energy?

When I get a psychic reading, I know that the information is filtered through the medium's life experiences and education. When I'm on the table at a Share, I can discern differences in energy of the various practitioners. I can feel energy. Your energy feels different from hers, from hers, from his,  etc. Yet everyone is sharing Reiki. So if it's passive, if we are pipes or vessels, why does one person's energy feel different from another's?

Anyway. When I send, I like to send from my best self. That's why I eat nutritious food, sleep well, and exercise. That's why I meditate, do self-Reiki, and practice yoga. That's why I work on my social relationships. I want to be healthy. I want to send from my peaceful centered self.

Reiki does no harm. So I'm sure it will not harm anyone if I send when I have a cold. Wait, this is the part that confuses me. I don't imagine that I'm sending germs, or giving someone an etheric virus. I just wonder if I should send if it's not my best.

I did a quick poll among other practitioners and no one else seems to feel the way I do.
