HAHAHA Neville! And on that note, I rest my case :D :hug3:

Nice one Neville *wink*

Pre-dawn, EVERYONE is susceptible to 'bad ki' or even other 'things' that may be out there, even churches talk of demons and entities and posession and such like. Being a reiki practitioner does not make you immune to those 'things' that are out there, which is why we use protections. Also people who come for reiki treatments, often bring with them their own negative energies, which the practitioner will have to protect him/herself from.

What energy you channel is defined by your intent - if your intent is to do reiki, then reiki energy will flow.

I am not judging Reiki in any way with this post in case it seems this way. I am researching it and I am interested and looking forward to perhaps meet a Reiki master to do what they do? There are so many here,wow! Cool:)
Perhaps some one herein can help me benefit?!
Its just that a close colleague of mine sent me that Christian article,he swares it is a demonic practice in which laughter is my response.
It seems that whenever non-traditional healing methods come along someone has to pee in the punchbowl.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Can Reiki help with my joint and hamstring problems? I teach jiu jitsu and the pain is driving me mad.

I have been accupunctered 5 times ,for only minimal effect.

thx for all of you and your great input. once again, I declare the brightest and most advanced healers reside here at SF.

The only time I received Reiki I felt warmth in the area of concern underneath her hands. It did nothing else on any other level,perhaps a little loosening of the muscles.
peace!

As a reiki 111 Teacher i would be most happy to attune you astrally lumpygravy so that you could experience the energy for yourself. I would not do this normally as i like to teach in person. But if you studied reiki and wished to be attuned then i don't mind doing it.
No money will be changing hands so it does not challenge my moral principles and integrity. reiki 1 is about healing the physical self so it would help with your hamstring.
I could do this so that you can experience and if you wish you can also attune later with a teacher nearer to you.

:icon_eek: :D what a descriptive saying, lol ! Can't say I have heard that one before !

no clue on your age, and I am not asking ... but perhaps there comes a time, as the body ages that one has to give up certain things ? perhaps it is time that you do something else besides teaching jiu jitsu ? Perhaps your body with its joint pain is giving you a message ? ok, just checked your profile, not that old, lol !! but maybe your body is still giving you a message ?

very valid points!! I'm aware that my martial arts career brought beatings to all areas.

Is there a way perhaps that you could still keep your interest in the martial arts, but be more like a supervisor, or director of a martial arts program ? I know how difficult it is to have to give up something that one enjoys doing

Calling it 'demonic' may be over the top but there is nothing wrong with the text above other than that 60 million of reiki practitioners link it to Jesus and if they do I would agree with calling it deceptive.
