But it does seem like alot of people are misrepresenting Reiki and have fashioned an alternative medicine/healing market. My point is that it's quakery vs quakery or quacksalver vs quacksalver. Just thought it was an interesting look on things. As you rarely see this kind of argument so to speak in the alternative medicine field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Not A Rockstar Posted October 10, 2018 #31 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I studied it and even got my attunements and it was taught ONLY as a healing method to me. Never saw it do anything, frankly, so I moved on. It is one of those things on a long list of things that are empty, IME. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress relive and getting people ready for jiggy action. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, anyway, just confirming that in the West it is not taught for anything but healing anywhere I ran into it. Cannot say I saw it work except to the degree for once I have to agree with Xeno and say it was perhaps a placebo for some. I dropped it and moved on. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they explore or explain the history of it? Or did you research it prior to doing it? Also what was your motivation for learning it? Edit: I might add that if someone, of the opposite sex preferably, touches my parts required for jigging then regardless of what technique they use I'll attest to it working. As long as it's not too rough. Edited October 10, 2018 by danydandan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was actual something to energy healing besides a placebo effect I'd tell all of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did you research it prior to doing it? Also what was your motivation for learning it? It was a large fad at the time, trying to think what year it was.... maybe early 2000's, 2002 perhaps? In my circles anyway and I was offered the attunements from a dear friend who I still am very close to. It was taught as being a healing method using energy passed down from Japan. Never any mention about sexual applications at all. I never heard that until third eye said it here. I don't think she uses it anymore either. We have not talked about it in years. She was a sister in Vodou and no money was charged, so why not? I have always been open to exploring and this was one of many things I have actually done and worked with to come to my conclusions on. I would say, in hindsight, it is as effective as a good old massage in hands on applications and the distance stuff is very dubious. I especially LOL'd even then at the notion that some Master, for the right amount of cash paid, could attune you from Detroit or wherever he or she was. Hogwash. Mine were hands on. Still, didn't amount to anything real and measurable. I did a lot of work then for people, and was sincere and the claim that it could help and heal even at distance was the appeal. The notion of needing to be exorcised of it though is really strange to me. Just toss your focus images in the trash and move on. Not everything is demonic, some is just empty. IME this is one. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda equivalent to a chiropractor telling an acupuncturist how to do stuff. Both fields are useless.
