Are there any Reiki practitioners out there?

My first Reiki attunement completely cured my migraines and my carpal tunnel.  That's enough for me, although I've seen many other fabulous healings come from a Reiki session.

I believe that reiki is not a belief system, it's not any kind of religion so you can do reiki and believe what religion you want.

ok, first, many doctors and hospitals use Reiki. Universities are studying the effects of Reiki. Reiki is accepted in the Medical community. Some people fail to realize this. \n\nI do not believe you could be prosecuted for prostitution simply because you are not engaged in a sex act. Reiki is done clothes on and typically without touching sensitive areas of the body (breast/groin). There is much evidence to support this - many books and web sites state these ideas. I would not worry about this.\n\nWhat I would be concerned with, however, is if Reiki is added to 'somatic practices' under your state or local laws. Somatic means 'of the body' and can include things like Reiki, Reflexology, Massage Therapy, etc... . Many states are adopting this phrase to include more practices than the traditional licensor of Massage therapy. The scary thing here is that often times, these governments do not recognize certain schools that teach a particular modality. In other words they will not recognize your training if you have not had training from a government recognized school. It has happen with Reflexology in another state. This can leave you in a bind because most Reiki instructors work independently, without association to any state or local governments.\n\nOne way around all of this, however, is to get ordained as a non-denominational minister and refer to your Reiki practice as divinely guided energy. Because of this, Reiki is taken from a physical modality and placed into a spiritual practice. It cant be regulated in the same way and under the same laws. Most importantly, it is legal and allows you to do honest work within the confines of the law. To be certain though, I would consult with local or state authorities first, or a lawyer. \n\nIn my case, this very thing opened the door for me to do spiritual counseling for local area hospitals regarding areas of Buddhist and non-denominational concern. It can also get your foot in the door if you would want to practice Reiki in a hospital. \n\nI wish you well on your journey.\n\nIf you'd be interested in the ministerial thing, let me know. I can direct you to a web site that can give you this in a very short time with very, very little cost to you(< $10.00).

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.

Yes; healing, telepathy, telekinesis, prophecy, spirits, God manifesting, sequences of events that defy all odds.  My mother, one of the sanest and most loving people I have ever known, college educated, worked at the U.N. and with various embassies in New York (and I think Washington D.C., but I'd have to ask my stepfather) experienced even odder things.  She only lied to me once in my life (I never even suspected she lied, but I had asked a HIGHLY personal question that was NONE of my business, even as a son, and she corrected the lie 30 seconds later.  I didn't even suspect despite her agitation.  She could easily have not told me despite the embarressment it cost her.  She did so anyway.  She was an amazingly ethical person.  Yet, she claimed that she had frequently seen faeries as a child and teenager, as well as a number of other experiences through adulthood.  And yes, the family is a strong supporter of psychology and none of us take drugs or drink, or seek such experiences.  They just happen.\n\nJust one example, one of the minor ones: On a trip to Hawaii my family and my best friend's family were at the Mauna Kea Hotel.  While outside walking with his son, my friend, his father had a major heart attack.  The hotel is somewhat isolated.  We called emergency services.  Here is a list of the coincidences:\n1) A busy popular hotel (nearly empty during that hour, for no reason the staff could figure out and remarked on it)\n2) Elevator was there exactly on time for the paramedics (they remarked on the coincidence)\n3) A new hospital had JUST opened very close, vs. the clinic that was much farther away (we were told how incredibly fortunate that was, as he would have died.  They were blunt)\n4) No traffic on the busy section (ambulance people again commented on how everyone seemed to be gone)\n5) We were told he would not make it.\n6) Next day we were told he would never walk leave his bed.\n7) Next day we were told that he would probably recover in a several years, but only partially.\n8) Next day after that we were told he might recover in a few months, and they remarked that they were just stunned with his recovery.\n9) Within six days, he was out of the hospital, walking on his own, and within another week it was as if it had never happened.\n10) If it had happened at home, at the isolated location the family had chosen to live, he would have died.\n11) It even happened on the very tail end of our vacation!  We had a great time until then!\n12) He's still alive decades later.\n13) Here's the big one: We barely talk about it.  It's not that uncommon in my family.  \n\nThis is not proof, just one person's experience. At the same time, be very careful.  I encourage you to read "Flim Flam" by James Randi.  There is so much nonsense and fakery going on, and so few people know scientific method or formal logic.  But keep an open mind.  That's part of being truly skeptical.  I'm skeptical, because there are ALWAYS other explanations.  I've met too many people who claim such things, and ten minutes down the discussion I've realized that they just this side of an insane assylum.  Keep questioning, even as you explore the wonders we have all around us.  Don't be gullible, but never shut your mind to the wonders and magic we, as just people, can experience.

I am a witch and it is nice to know that there are other practitioners out there. However I can't help with your request. I do wish you the best of luck. \n\nAnd you know you're going to get a lot of hate responses. Ignore them and keep looking. Good luck!

I once saw a one legged witch turn a storm.\n\nMy first ritual, we were all comfortable throughout the ritual, but the instant the ritual ended, we realized that the room was cold. The heat hadn't been on and the whole time and it was spring equinox.\n\nI do spiritual healing with singing bowls. I play the bowl in someone's hand, and feel the vibrations as they extend through the person, and can tell them where the vibrations are and what they're doing.\n\nI used to work with a Reiki master who could put healing energy into people and tell people many details about their lives while we were doing our energy work. Very specific things\n\nI have this one singing bowl which plays differently, responding to the place where it's played, or what chakra it's played on. I use it to locate blockages for spiritual healing. I also used it to find the perfect place to set up my tent the first time I camped in Kansas. One night the wind ripped through the camp. By morning, just about every tent had blown over except mine.\n\nFor a while, a friend and I maintained a karmic connection through an object which was divided and each of us kept half, and sometimes I would smell something, and call her up, and it was exactly what she was smelling.\n"Did you just make cookies?"\n"Was the dog just breathing in your face?"\n"Did you just disinfect something?"\n\nAs for Vampires, many people drain those around them of life force, but there are some who can do it purposefully. They have the ability to reach out and drain a person's energy. They say it's better than caffeine. \n\nI have a good friend who can do that. She's the only energy vampire I know who uses her power for good. She takes people's headaches. She also has an amazing ability to sense energies, making her one of the most powerful witches I know (I know a lot of witches who claim to be powerful, but very few who actually are). I have known her for many years and we are very close friends.\n\nOne time it was the dead of winter, she was sitting next to a window, and she felt someone looking at her. She looked and there was someone dressed in black with no color in their body sitting across the road, intently looking at her. She looked down for no more than five seconds, looked up again, and he was sitting on her side of the road, still intently looking at her. He was not dressed for the cold, but was not shivering at all. Just intense calm looking at her. She immediately closed the blinds realizing that she had just had an encounter with a real vampire. A real vampire and a kindred spirit. It probably wasn't a vampire like Dracula or what we see from Hollywood, but it was definitely something from outside of our mundane existence.

There are quite a few, I know of a couple.  I see someone has mentiond Deepak Chopras, there is also the Maharishi Mahesh Yogis (Chopras Teacher) http://www.theraj.com.   And another popular one is Kripalu in Massachusetts http://www.kripalu.org/.  I also know of one in New Mexico under Vasant Lad.  The Himalayan Institute in Honesdale, PA and a few in Florida.  I am sure that there are many, many others you could do a search to find more.

Master Hong Liu\n\nHe provides lectures, seminars, and courses for the L.A. public who are interested in healing their ailments, or to become qi gong healers.  He has some apprentices in the Los Angeles area, with some teaching in acupuncture colleges.\n\nHe has a book out called:  The Healing Art of Qi Gong, a very interesting read.\n\nYou may visit his website at qimaster.com.\n\nBest

What happened to the person who taught you level 1? Usually students return to the same masters.  If that master has moved away, he/she should be able to hook you up with someone else.  \nAs a Reiki Master, I wouldn't (don't) start anyone at level 2. I would retrain and re-attune you to my system in level 1 first, because the levels build on each other, and every teacher is a little different.  So even if you found a class, you'd have to take that into account.  A lot of teachers (like me) also don't advertise higher level classes except to their existing group of students.\nTo find a new Reiki Master, if you old master can't help, you can go to or call new age and pagan shops, health food stores, astrology clubs, lightworker groups, new age or astrology fairs, holistic healing expos...the list is endless.  There's probably a magazine or two that serves your area of the UK that covers metaphysical and healing topics (and the magazine probably has a web site) and there will be lots of ads for Reiki Masters and classes there as well.  \nYou also may be able to find someone who does distant teaching. For level 2, with all the symbols, that can be more challenging than learning in person, but it can be done.

Well, no because Reiki is a healing technique and meditation is about self introspection. That would be like asking if someone who emmerses themselves in their studies to become a doctor has fallen into some sort of physician's cult. Sometimes people will retreat from the world and emerse themselves into meditation or certain studies, but only to learn and discover things about themselves. Like when I was going through some health issues awhile back, I retreated from the world because I was depressed. I did a lot of meditation. But the reason I did that was because *that* is how I heal myself emotionally. I came out of it after a year happier and healthier than I was.\n\nDon't worry too much about your cousin. When you see him/her - is (s)he depressed? She might be working out a problem. If not, chances are (s)he will come out of this on his/her own. That doesn't mean she will stop meditating or practicing Reiki. It's just that when she emmerses herself like this, chances are (s)he needs this time for him/herself right now to solve a problem or find what (s)he's looking for.

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.
