" I guess I am some what of a believer. I believe that things work for certain people, but not everybody. I bet you alot of people benefit from Reiki. For me when someone has energy and is upbeat ... I feel it and cant help but to be happy myself. Hope tha makes sense. "

" I am learning - as with most things, I guess it takes time, if anyone can shed some light on this I would be grateful - even if you disagree, as I say, I am learning and would appreciate any feedback "

" I am a reiki practitioner. I love giving and receiving healings as reiki is very gentle and non intrusive. It's basically just a way of channeling divine, healing energy. "

" Before my tramatic experience i loved going to reiki it was amazing, I had 2 operations on my ankels and i beleive the lady who did reiki on me actually helped them heal.
After the assault i wasn't sure if i wanted to go but i went and after my session i just started to cry because i was so relaxed it was peaceful. She listened to me and she helped me release some of my anger and resentment!! "

" I love Reiki! I am a Reiki master, and I mostly treat myself and my husband. I have gotten the greatest benefit, though, from long distance treatments done by a friend I met on the internet. Finally a topic I know something about! LOL! Joani "
