Yes reiki is effective i have had it done to me i was in so much pain and this fantastic reiki woman done some on me and yes the pain nearly instantly went.. As for meditation i do that to it takes a few times to clear the mind but once you can do meditation it is great. keep on doing it  don't give up. Once you have found your path and ready you will do fine .. keep it up ok.Ask your spirit guides and angels to help  you will no.

I think there are definitely some out there who are frauds. But quite honestly I think the majority are genuine. However it is like a lot of things in that there a different levels of ability. Plus your ability does not stay static. It changes as you grow and is affected by life's ups and downs. People like Allison Dubois, John Edwards and Gordon Smith are about as genuine as mediums get. If you can get an appointment with one of these I think they would blow you away. However they are so popular that they are about 2 years back dated. Also Gordon Smith lives in Scotland. If I were to undertake a 'reading' with someone I would go by my gut feeling. Do not see someone who feels wrong to you. But seriously I would not suggest you make it something that you come to rely on. This will only encourage the frauds out there. Any genuine medium or psychic will know that they have to prove themselves to you so they will tell you not to give them any information. Keep this in mind if you think the psychic you are seeing is pumping you for answers. Also an ethical medium/psychic will offer you a refund if within the first five minutes they do not give you any information that rings true.\n\nOne more thing I would say is to remember that mediums and psychics cannot help the skills they have. They just have them. Their gifts complicate their lives and often create fear and hatred in others. They, like you, are just doing the best with what they have and endeavouring to lead useful and productive lives.

I think that http://www.voodoogrillmystic.com looks the most professional. I don't believe in this crap, but if it is real, this person is obviously good enough to afford a decent website. Logic rules over magick, for sure. But good luck, and let me know if it works. I'm interested, just doubtful.

First off, Reiki is NOT massage. During a Reiki session, you should be fully clothed and the practitioner will only lay hands on your clothes, or you may even opt for a total hands-off session with hands a few inches above your body.  A massage usually involves the client being semi-undressed with significant hands-on skin-to-skin contact by the therapist.\nA massage therapist who also knows Reiki may offer a Reiki massage, but that's not the same as a regular Reiki session.\nA Reiki practitioner channeling Reiki isn't dangerous. You are thinking of channeling spirits, which is different. \nIf you feel good about getting a treatment from someone, then try it. If during the session you start to feel uncomfortable in any way, speak up.  A reputable person will immediately stop the treatment.

You are looking for someone who does both Reiki and therapy?\nHartford Family Institute has several therapists who I believe also do Reiki. Some of them take insurance. You'd have to call for specifics on each person.\nIf you're just looking for Reiki, I live in Wallingford which is about 20 miles from Hartford.

I believe there are psychics who are genuine, but I'm sure 99.9% of the people claiming to be psychic are just trying to make a buck.\nThere are proven cases of psychics who have helped others, but they are few and far between.

Actually, the person who responded previously is wrong.   There is evidence which suggests there is something to psychic or intuitive power. They often help detectives in murder cases where there are no leads, which is a good thing.   \nStudies of the top psychics under impartial scientific analysis have shown that they DO get it right more often then their non-psychic counterparts, but it doesn't mean they ALWAYS get it right, just more often then the rest of us.     So much so that even our own government wanted to use those who had psychic power as spys, I think they call it remote viewing? anyway they cancelled the project because it was too unreliable. UNRELIABLE, not fake or untrue, they didn't deny there was something there, they just couldn't control it and rely on it for accurate information. the government obviously knew there was an amount of "psychic power" or else they would have never started a project like that in the first place. \n Do they talk to dead people? I don't know, I think many of them are mind readers. There is a lot more to what meets the eye than many of us are willing to admit.  People who are religious of course call anything which is mystical and outside the barriers of organized religion demonic.  \nHundreds of years ago, if you told someone they get sick because there are microscopic "bugs" that get into our bodies through our breath and multiply, they would accuse you of being a heritic or maybe a witch, you cohort with demons, because it is the devil which makes them sick or whatever other ignorant barbarism they attributed to illness.  \nBut it was a fact that applies now as it did then: just because you can't see something with the naked eye does not mean it's not there.  \n It is human nature to say when we don't understand something which is a mystery that it is totally fake or it is demonic.   I don't think it is either. I think it is somewhere in between the material world we see and the world or worlds which we can not.

I don't know where you can get the story, but it may be affliated with Reiki.  A Reiki practitioner once brought me through it.  It's a form of visual imagery.

heck yes! read some of the reviews on them at yahoo merchants. I had gotten stuff from them and it really helped alot with issues I had long term problems with. Of course prayer from ANY faith helps too. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs/religion/practices. You have to decide for yourself what is right or wrong and not let others influence you. If you want to try something from that buisness that is your choice. I am wiccan (a positive earth based spirituality) and proud of it. I do cast spells as long as nobody-including yourself-is hurt/suffering. My life has gotten nothing but better since following this path. I even feel more spiritual. I think a spell to help with your career would work better than one to bring a lover back.

You CAN read my energy--(better face to face). Anyway there's probably more to it than "reading energy". There are people who can see and feel and clear out and heal all sorts of nasty junk. We are made of light and energy. We are magnetic and electric. Literally. And perhaps this guy is no better than a televangilst, but I know there are authentic energy healers--I know some personaly and even if they dont charge, you do  something for trade because there should be a fair exchange of, you guessed it, energy.

Receiving an attunement (from a skilled Master, not just anyone on the internet who says "Pay me money and I'll attune you") involves a one to full days of training. While you can't really hurt someone with Reiki, you can bring their energy out of balance, so you really do need training on how to molve that energy through their system. \nFor example: If you move your hands from the top of the head down to the pelvis, that can depleat the engery of someone. If you move your hands in the opposite direction the energy increases. \n\nEnjoy your Reiki sessions for yourself, but if you want to do more with Energy healing, try Reiki or another modality. There are others than Reiki, like Pranic Healing (Master Cho), Energy Medicine (Dona Eden), and many more. Find the right modality for you before you choose to get training in one.

*Ask someone you know who knows Reiki.\n*Go for a Reiki session and ask the person doing the session.\n*Go to local new age and psychic fairs and ask around.\n*Go to local pagan/new age stores and ask.\nThere are literally millions of Reiki people in the US.  We aren't hard to find!  \nMOST IMPORTANT: make sure you LIKE the person teaching you.   Try to get a session first (even if you have to pay) to make sure you feel safe and comfortable with the teacher.  A good teacher will accept it if you say "we just don't fit," and will probably reccommend you to another teacher. And check out different styles of Reiki (I personally know/teach 8 kinds) and see what ones resonate with you.\nGood luck and welcome to the Reiki family!  I'm willing to answer any other questions you have if you'd like to e-mail me.

Im a strong supporter of alternative medicine, but Ive never known anyone to get great results from homeopathy. Its a bit hit and miss.

I have never heard of kanji magic, but after doing a search, I found out there is such a thing.  To research it, enter in "kanji magic" into a search engine, such as yahoo or google. As for if it's real or not, I have found that magick is indeed real, but whether it is caused by the supernatural, the preternatural or a person's own will is up for debate.  (I'm leaning towards a person's will because magic tends to work only when you believe.)  So, at any rate, good luck!

Reiki is about energy channeling.\n\nTrust that you will be guided to the correct teacher.\n\nLineage is not the most critical thing.\n\nChoose a path and follow it. If its not for you , make a new choice.\n\nBut most importantly, make a choice.

It works and I don't believe it just has to do with whether someone believes in it or not.  I've seen people who don't believe given remedies and they respond to them.  \n\nHowever, it really depends on the skill and experience of the practitioner.  They have to make the right diagnosis and  prescribe the right remedy in order for it to be effective.
