What a wonderful post!  Are you a participant, a teacher of this method, or
both?

Thanks for the information!

  HI guys
Yes I know this isn't a writer's list but anyway what do you think? I share
in part because of the nature of the list being HumanServices:
Life Lessons from Reiki

Reiki, as defined by Wikipedia, is "a natural alignment system that uses
unproven "universal life energy" to treat diseases and physical, mental and
emotional imbalances." Unproven? Really?
Anyway Reiki is Universal energy, either transfered via the therapist's
hands, or via long-distance, depending the degree or level, of Reiki one has
studied; as seen above, Reiki balances (or shall we say for the skeptics, it
attempts to balance) the whole self (physical,
Psychological/emocional/spiritual); either when does gives Reiki oneself, or
receives a session, the effect of calmness/relaxation in some, from the
first session or treatment, is like nothing they've felt in a long time!;
while in others, it takes several sessions or treatments to achieve. This
level of relaxation/calmness in part, is because of Reiki's goals to
reestablish the body's natural rhythms, symcronizations that with time, and
especially with all the daily stress, gets blocked, thus permits our bodies,
in all its levels as stated above, to begin the process of homeostasis.
Sometimes life with a seeing/hearing disability, can be tough, especially
when one doesn't seem to feel belonging, or finding his or her nitch in the
world, thus Reiki, almost ten years, after my first Reiki Initialization,
has taught some very valuable life-long lessons I'd like to share with you
the reader:

1.-Don't worry! One of the Reiki Precepts states "Just for today, I will not
worry. Although worry is not always a negative phenomena, endless worries
may fill one's head, and each one bores a small hole in one's body and soul.
Letting go of worry, brings healing into the Body." Sound familiar? how many
times have you worried about something to death, hampering your everyday
life, enjoying precious moments with family/friends? Since I've done Reiki,
though I'll be honest saying I worry like everyone else, but I've tried to
not to let it bore me down, thus (and yes I know it's a very hard concept to
understand) I let Reiki work things out in its own way, as long as it
benefits all involved. 
Here's a phrase that illustrates this "I let go of the negative; I'm waiting
to see what will happen best in my life; The right circumstances and
experiences happen".

2.-Why didn't it happen like I'd liked? This ties in to what I stated above;
sometimes we'd like for things to happen a certain way, thus doing Reiki
with the assumption, that things will happen like we want them; how many
times do you find yourself (maybe unconsciously) while giving yourself
Reiki, or to better understand the analogy, praying, talking with God saying
"Please help me to get a Scholarship for my son's college education"; X or Y
circumstances end up you not getting the scholarship, and the forever
familiar lethany of "Reiki doesn't work", or "God doesn't listen to me"!
This isn't how the Universe is designed! Reiki has helped me understand this
principal: Reiki, the Universe, God or whatever you want to call it, knows
what's best for all involved; yes as I stated above, a very hard concept to
grasp,/understand but... I guess life can throw us very pleasant surprises!

3.-What a surprise! Especially when things originally planned go awry, Reiki
has a way of turning things around, or even worse/better (depending on how
one sees things), get out of our life the distressing one, and replace it
with something much much better, that changes one's life forever! This is
how Reiki came into my life; I'd had to drop out of a graduate program that
didn't fulfill my expectations, feeling depressed/down during the days/weeks
after, and I found out of Reiki, that a class was about to start, and the
rest is history! and by the way, Reiki has changed my life in ways never
thought of before!

4.-I wish: Since back in around 2003 or so, when I first got familiar with
Brian Weis's workings of via hypnosis, regress one to other lives, part of
me wanted to do something similar, but circumstances didn't present
themselves, without me realizing it until time after, without expecting it!;
nhearly five or six years later, but it happend! Some other little things
have happened in this way too. So Reiki has this way of sometimes without
realizing it at that moment, fulfilling some of our most-desired (or
sometimes spontanious) wishes! There's this saying I really like that says,
that illustrates this paragraph, "What is destined for you, sooner or later
comes into your life."; another one "Good things are slow in coming, because
what comes easy ... easy goes"; or this other one "Sometimes the key is to
give time time, it takes care to put everything in place. ".

5.-Let's return to another of Reiki's precepts "Just for today, I will be
grateful.
Be grateful from your hart inward. Inner intention is the important element
in this principle. Simple things as thanks, forgiveness, smile, good words,
gratitude can improve others life and make them happy", and I hasten to add,
make our own lives happier! Yes I understand, how especially if things
haven't happened as you'd have liked, it's very hard to be appreciative! but
things happen, as stated above, for a reason that maybe at the time of the
disappointment, we don't understand, but that in the long-run, benefits all
involved! sometimes in ways we even ourselves never quite grasp!
So how to apply this principle? Appreciate every little thing; from being
able to breath/walk, fend for oneself; the food you eat (going as far as to
appreciate the people who grew the seeds, harvested, the person who drove
the trailer to the store, who stocked, who bought, cooked, you get the
idea". Do it for some time, and it'll become a habbit! Another example, if
you travel via plane, bus or whatever mode of transportation, appreciate the
people who built the vehicle, who is driving, etc; I'll bore if I put more
examples, but you get the idea.
So appreciate/feel gratitude, and you'll begin to feel different! It'll take
time, but you'll remember me when you begin to see subtle changes!

Reiki has definitely been a blessing! Very important life-long lessons have
been learned, and surely will continue to be learned over the years to
follow! So what do you think of the initial statement of "Reiki being an
unproven method of realigning the self? Judge for yourselves!
