I don’t believe one has to be taught Reiki in order to heal with their hands nor do I see anything wrong for qualified practitioners to charge for their time and energy.
I wouldn’t personally charge for such a service but I most certainly believe in the power of manipulating universal energy.

Re: Any Reiki Practitioners Here?
Until this thread I can't recall anybody mentioning Reiki (I don't mix with many tin foil loonies) but yesterday I was out walking the dog when I came across a place that caters for all parts of the continuum from science based medicine to the "I believe anything" fruit loop fringe...

I've heard of it before. Going into caves or sleeping in salt mines to treat asthma and respiratory problems. But I didn't know they now had salt rooms. Not sure it's quite the same thing. They sell salt lamps too but that probably won't make much difference to someone with breathing problems.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-...atment/7334100

Bit like saying you don't like Pork chops if you've never even tried 'em.

we all live in a scientific world - if you cannot prove it then bog off!well the universe is still very much unknown - ever heard of the "chaos theory" if not then go and study it. ever heard of the placebo effect - it works for some - science isn't the only option.

Re: Any Reiki Practitioners Here?
Nothing wrong with using the Placebo effect Gumbud, it's a power we can all tap into. The body is an incredible machine capable of healing itself.The problem comes with woo woo treatments which have zero basis in fact and which actually just rely on the Placebo effect to work. We need to rid the world of charlatans and bogus treatments who are preyin gon people, charging them exorbitant fees, pretending to be doing something supernatural but who in truth are simply relying on the Placebo effect.
How better the world would be if they just taught us how to personally use the Placebo effect and how to tap into and maximixe the body's own healing systems.
