I recently tried reiki and it was very powerful.

just tell her u feel uncomfortable...if shes a true friend she will understand

Juice:

My experience with Reiki was that there was no touching at all. The practitioner just held her hands above my body as she moved from my feet, head, throat, etc.

There was a transfer of energy, but no touching.

About telling your friend; The friendship may change either growing distant, or it may become closer, trust your gut.

ok. I am all for anything that is healthy and useful in treating the symptoms of abuse. However, I spent a life time treating the symptoms and in the end the only thing that worked was stepping out of denial, and reconizing the fact that a I was wounded, hurt, and I am sorry Yes i was damaged. Until i connected with these very simple truths treating the symptoms was only a temporary relief. Treating the symptoms is a good idea provided it is conjunction with treating the wounds. If you want real healing i think you have to connect with the wounds and the truth of what the wounds have done and what they have cost.

I have been using Reiki for about 4 years now, it helped me with depression brought about by my abuse and bullying as an adult. It also really releives stress. My healer only touches my head and shoulders and my feet, I didnt find it triggering but it did bring up a lot of emotions the first few times,

I hope, if you do try it, that you get a lot of peace from it
take care
