I have had 3 Reiki sessions - 2 with a massage therapist that I go to, and 1 yesterday at a holistic health fair.

On all 3 occasions, I decided I paid what I thought was a fair fee for their time and energy, and then I let go of all expectations and just remained open to the experience to see where it would go.

And on all 3 occasions, they each gave me extra time - like double the time we agreed on - and asked nothing more from me.

All sessions have been unique with really strong and good aftereffects! It is pretty incredible, and I was a little skeptical going in. Still am, to a degree. But even if it's a placebo effect, I feel much better, and that is worth it to me. I don't need to understand it to feel it is working.

Awesome thread! its quite amazing the law of attraction.
I have been looking where to learn Reiki at in California...Could you possibly give some input or info on how to, or where to go? Would be greatly appreciated.

I have been thinking about trying out Reiki to see if it will help my shoulder pain. I get stress and tension headaches almost every day now.

Maybe something like this will help me out.

Do you have to be in the same room to benefit from a reiki healing? I remember reading on a different board someone offering to send out healing some how? Is that even possible? Just curious.

I guess I was under the impression you had to be in tune with the person doing the healing and in the same room and/or touching.
