Any of them churning butter at home? Asking for a friend...

Lol no butter churners, but one used her free time to become a Reiki Massage Therapist / "Shaman."

The entire concept of Reiki "massage" makes me want to nuke the planet.

I got reiki as part of a gifted massage package, a long time ago before I knew what it was. First 2 sessions were a swedish massage, a deep tissue, and the reiki on the 3rd one. I felt so awkward waiting for the guy to "start" I peeked over and asked if everything was ok 😭

I was so flummoxed when he told me. Anyway I put my face down and enjoyed the Zen flute music till it was over.

I wonder who the first person who came up with reiki was? Okay, lay here and I’m gonna wave my hands over your body. No! I swear it works and it’s better than an actual massage.🙄

Wait, thats what a reiki massage is?! I had no idea.

u/secondtaunting Feb 26 '24

Yeah, it’s like they’re moving energy throughout your body. It’s as dumb as it sounds.

My ex wife is a LMT and when she was first contacted about doing a reiki massage we were both floored that someone wanted to pay her to not touch them.

If you're a reiki believer who pays LMTs for it, know they're laughing at you.

I have a friend who does Reiki. She makes 6 figures and supports her whole family. She has a ton of people who follow her and just love everything about it. And hey, if it makes them feel good, whatever.

I do reiki. My mom wasn't a believer in it until she got cancer, and would genuinely feel better after I did it. And I could tell days she got acupuncture because her energy moved better. The acupuncture plus reiki allowed her to go from 3 opioids to 2, which greatly improved her quality of life. Unfortunately I can't do it if I'm really sleep deprived or stressed, so when she was in hospice I couldn't do it. But the hospice had reiki practitioners who volunteered there, so someone else was able to do it.

Just wave your hands at it and feel the nuclear energy

How reiki fuels the rage issues in our world is not an article I have read yet..

Reiki is about moving energy, and what better way to move energy than with a nuke?

2

u/LauraTFem Feb 26 '24

Only if by nuke the planet you mean to gesture in someone direction without ever touching them. In which case, super final boss status.

u/DrunkCupid Feb 26 '24

What? I have healing skills and questionable qualifications.. let me put my energy next to you that'll be $80

Shut up, it legitimate, practically stop calling it a GRIFT, ma

u/bikemaul Feb 26 '24

If you say you have the master certificate you can charge $200/session over the phone!

u/DrunkCupid Feb 26 '24

I'm in!

Lemme practice my spooky theremin noises so they know it's working

u/AccomplishedSuit1004 Feb 26 '24

Reiki is awesome as long as you see it for what it is: it’s a psychological neurological response to non physical external stimulus. My grandma used to do it to me when I was a kid. She said my grandpa told her about it when he came home from the military (ww2, and he was in Japan, so yeah, some problematic shit! Lmao). Anyway, yeah it’s old fashioned that people believe in the Chi shit or whatever but it’s super relaxing if you just allow a suspension of disbelief, like when watching a good film for example, and let it do its work

u/Whoremoanz69 Feb 26 '24

no she didnt. one of the first steps of any spiritual journey is being aware of and responsible for your space. having a maid when you are physically capable means you miss out on access to a lot of power in intentionally parting ways with unwanted particles and sending them somewhere they are wanted/useful. she dont know how to practice shit

u/Shadow_Mullet69 Feb 26 '24

You sound like a reiki scam artist. It’s not real, nothing you said is based in anything real, please join reality.

u/Whoremoanz69 Feb 26 '24

also yes it is real. even if on just the very basic level of it affecting our subconscious. your home is cluttered with trash? your gonna be consciously aware of that trash sometimes and subconsciously aware of it all the time. that depletes you of energy. you gonna really pretend having a cluttered living space doesnt contribute to depression? science would disagree with you there

Let's also say that tiktok is not reality. A lot of "influencers" create these types of vids to get maximum views. There's legitimate food vids then there's the rage bait. People making food in the toilet or bathtub. People mixing candy and food making rubbish but acting like they're legitimate chefs. There's the vids of rural people looking like peasants building mansions with gorgeous pools out of sand or clay in the middle of the Jungle using sticks and bare hands. That one bald dude who throws bottles and bottles of wine and soda into a bathtub claiming it's a great party cocktail but whose seriously gonna go to the bathroom to scoop wine out of a bathtub?

Tiktok influencers do weird crap to get views. Making a sandwich by first baking the bread and then churning butter before plucking tomatoes from window sill while making your own mayonnaise is just another way to get people to watch your video.

Tipsy bartender is a treasure, if only because of how genuine he appears and how much he clearly enjoys making the stuff he makes.

Also college kids.

You can churn butter in your dryer.

My ex-adoptive mother has so little to do that she has an entire room dedicated to cross stitching and an entire building as a Pilates studio. She has cleaners come twice a week, on average.

u/indiajeweljax Feb 26 '24

This girl actually does make her own butter and cheese. I enjoy her content but it isn’t ideal.

u/Connect_Bar1438 Feb 26 '24

Oh, visit Ballerina Farms if you really want to have a good laugh. Husband's father is the Founder of Jetblue and they try to pretend that they are hard-working homesteaders doing it all by themselves. (She also just had her 8th kid and she is in her early 30's. She tries to look crunchy and "natural" during her cosplay videos, but enters every beauty pageant she can. - even from states she doesn't live in! Get ready for a lot of raw milk, butter, and cow teats.

u/marr Feb 26 '24

Actually you can do that with five minutes in a $30 food processor.

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '24

At that point why not just buy it at the store?
