You're right. Hands on healing has been around for a long time and I believe that Reiki is one name and technique for it. I am a Reiki practitioner and even though I am trained, I am not sure about some aspects, as I have read and heard contraditory information. It makes it difficult.
At this point, I am using my intuition mostly to discern for myself. I think it may be a good idea for people to try Reiki before coming to any conclusions about its worth. Try it more than one time too. Reiki tends to provide different effects not only person to person, but time to time. I believe this may be caused by what needs to be healed and when is time for the healing.
I first noticed that there was "something" about my hands when I was six years old. All my life I placed my hands on myself to aid in healing -- even if I was half joking at times. In the fall of '07, I had a profound healing through Reiki which ending up changing my life. I literally rec'd a tap on my shoulder that was not from the Reiki therapist. I ended up taking classes and getting attuned and later was told that the tap was an invitation to practice Reiki.
It can all seem kinda weird and woo we woo woo, but it is real. My hands don't just get warm, they gush with the energy that flows very hot (but doesn't burn) -- there is a big difference between warm hands and Reiki hands.
There are a lot of people that make Reiki seem like a bad thing. The Catholic church has a problem with it, even though there are nuns who are attuned practioners and I have even given a session to a preist. And as with any other
anything, there are good witches and bad witches and I'm kidding with regard to "witches". Some people will try to get your money away from you and some people are really into being special and having powers and I have to admit that I've had to fight the feelings of perhaps feeling a bit too good about the part I played when someone has had a powerful healing.
Well, I guess I've probably gone on long enough on this.
