The times I give Reiki are for a person who asks for it and doesn't care if there is a scientific basis - they usually just want relief from some type of pain. I learned Reiki from a woman who studied it in Japan about 20 years ago....fter I had her treatments for a painful back injury, I got from being thrown off a horse. They worked well for me, so I was pleased. Cost less than other doctors and wasn't invasive. The best Reiki workers are those who go into a "sort of trance" and don't control the energy exchange, it gets channeled in a way we are trained to receive it and magnify it through various chakras. No one really understands it until they take part in the training and move through the levels. I can't say much more because the practice does have a code of ethics.

And no, it is not like EST at all.

Off the subject: Don't some people believe that long ago Jesus healed people by laying hands on them? It would be interesting to read how he would describe the "process" and who received healings vs. those who just think it's mumbo jumbo and not even worth a try.

Faith always has much to do with getting "healed" be it mentally or physically. Why else would doctors give patients placebo tablets so often?
