Just curious has anyone used Reiki to effectively treat there depression symptoms? I just learned about this from a TV documentary and I'm a bit curious... I have depression and I would like to find other options that are safer than pills.

I have used Reiki, now and again for a long time now. I find it gives me a sense of peace, and general well being. It definitely stablizes my moods. It also is good for pain relief. I know some think it is hoaxy, but I really did get a lot out of it.

I've had reiki for anxiety/depression and panic attacks, and I found it a wonderful experience. It helped me enormously to find inner peace, helped to calm me down and I was able to overcome the panic attacks. I would certainly recommend it, but you have to believe in it and need a reputable reiki therapist.
