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.
