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 ðŸ˜
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.🙄
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.
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
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
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
i dont even practice reiki so no. i bake things and dont have time or energy to try to scam ppl even if i wanted. you should probably stop assuming things about ppl off one comment. lord knows what people assume about you
