reiki

so... just how popular is this topic anyway? i mean, who all has heard of this? many people know it by other names, but this is just another one that has been brought to my attention. many in my family believe in reiki, and are also natural-born empaths. i don't actually believe in it, but i have felt energy, i know how it works for healing and empowering, and i know it can be stored. i myself have never healed a person with my energy, but then again, i've never tried. i do however believe that God Himself supplies this energy, and think that Jesus used this energy to work His miracles. borderlined heresy, i know, but these are my thoughts, and as such, belong to me and can only be changed by me. but i digress. i would like any feedback on reiki that anyone has.

i don't actually believe in it, but i have felt energy, i know how it works for healing and empowering, and i know it can be stored. i myself have never healed a person with my energy, but then again, i've never tried.

Really. That just made a ton of sense!
Dont tell me you dont belive in air either, but are breathing it anyway.
I could contribute about how its helped me, but I dont beleive it either so I won't.
Sides, the ones who dont believe it will just end up calling me names, anyway.
Even if its true, we wouldnt believe it anyway. Or deserve it.
Too bad we have to inhibit our own positive experiences like that.
Why bother at all with any of it?

sorry for the confusion didn't mean for that to happen. basically, i'm a Christian, but i am open to things that other people say and think. and trust me i'm not going to make fun of you or call you names or anything like that. i would like to hear how it's helped you though, since you mentioned it.

Thank you for the reply. I appreciate your curiousity.
Its far better for one to experience it for themselves however.
If you didn't know what fire was, how would you know it burns ya?
Until one experiences something, he won't believe, regardless.
Nothing I could say would convince you, obviously.
If your own family who are empaths -as you said- believes it,
and you dont,(but yet have experienced it anyway)
Nothing I could say would help you at this point anyway, sorry.
You have the best teachers right there already!

It's your choice wehther you 'let' yourself experience things or not.
Using your example of christianity, how can you believe in God,
without some amount of sheer faith?
Many would say you are taking the leap of faith a little too far.
Some would even resort to namecalling, out of fear of experiencing something they just cant explain. How enlightening.
Your subconscious knows the truth, its just the rest of you thats
alway playing catch up.
btw, I consider myself a 'christian' also.
The trouble is we do not know what that REALLY means anymore.
We wont let ourselves progress simply because of fear. Sad.
For - how much potential do we 'beleive' we have? God only, knows.

I believe in Reiki strongly...everyone uses it at all times and some people can see it. It is the life force of everything.

I have had reiki many times. I find it very useful after having treatment for my brain tumor. After all the surgeries, radiotherapy and chemo, you feel like a broken man. I believe having the reiki sessions helps me put myself back together again. i certainly feel better after a session.I'm lucky my friends mother practices reiki and gives me my sessions for free.
