Reiki’s Role in Shifting the Energy Surrounding the Pandemic on MARCH 16, 2020 Article by Kathleen Johnson reikirays.com/73428/reikis-role-in-shifting-the-energy-surrounding-the-pandemic/In the past few months, we have been inundated with increasingly alarming reports and information about the global spread of COVID-19 and its sometimes devastating effects. In a situation like this, it is all too easy to feel powerless and descend into fear. However, the good news is that Reiki is here to guide us through. From my perspective, the current health situation represents a clarion call for humanity to recognize and accept the inherent Oneness of All, which we so far have woefully and stubbornly resisted; a great imbalance exists which must be corrected if humanity is to continue. Balance is a crucial component of wellness, and we know that Reiki restores balance as it grounds us to Mother Earth, centers us in our hearts, and connects us to Spirit. As Reiki practitioners, we can make a compelling contribution toward restoring this balance and dissipating the intense energy of fear and hopelessness circulating globally, simply by inviting Reiki to guide us and lead the way through the darkness.

No, editors of The Atlantic, reiki does not work Over the weekend, The Atlantic published an article by Jordan Kisner touting the benefits of reiki and arguing that you shouldn’t listen to all those nasty skeptics calling it woo-woo. Unsurprisingly, the article is a credulous mess citing only token skepticism and relying on weak evidence. The Atlantic‘s embrace of quackery continues.

David Gorski on March 9, 2020 sciencebasedmedicine.org/no-editors-of-the-atlantic-reiki-does-not-work/Oh well, I guess I'd be in the anecdotal evidence camp that this writer thinks doesn't count. I was amazed how helpful reiki was for pain relief - no mention of religion by the therapist. She was/is a member of the UK Reiki Federation. Elsewhere on this forum I once put I'd prefer occupational therapy to a healer's techniques, these days I think it depends on what you need and the circumstances, plus finding someone who is properly trained. People have to decide for themselves. Anyhow, the Atlantic is a magazine, not a medical journal.

Hasn't cured me / resolved certain things. In ways it's caused more issues. i'm not sure what the exact truth is of all the health / illness & healing areas is - same with comparative religion / spirituality / Atheism. i suspect that there is a lot that we simply don't know. i like Zen - something very simple about it all.

It's just how people's ideas change over time, it's maturing :-)
So many people want to say somehow "I don't agree with this, therefore you can't have it".

Have been having this conversation with someone else - i think the issue comes in when things impact our own freedoms - an extreme example is fascism. i think the Universal declaration of human rights & secular democracy has it best - full spiritual & religious freedoms - the right to any beliefs / practices you like (within the law) & the right to freely criticise it all. i personally don't agree with the religious indoctrination of Children. Very in depth / complex question however as to what we teach children.

Yes, very different for children, who are entirely in the care of their parents and their decisions.

It seems to be helpful for some and not for others, have been told it brings things to the surface, which is good as long as you are ready and prepared to deal with what it brings.

Hello Blueberry. I don't know if there is a difference with Reiki for mental health issues as opposed to physical - didn't consult on that, I don't know why, just thought it could get confusing.
It's an interesting experience in itself though, very warming, this warmth radiating from her hands even though they were nowhere near a heat source like a fire in the cold weather.

Yes it does feel relaxing, have had that experience myself. I ended up psychotic soon afterwards though, but that could have been due to lots of things, so am not sure.

No is not the only time have heard of what could be perceived as a bad reaction to it. But in ways bringing things to the surface can help solve issues if dealt with properly. Sadly I was just medicated with no psychological help which is what I was needing in particular at the time I think.
