Thank you for this informative article.
I began to be interested in Reiki several years ago, after reading a book called Vibraional Healing which dealt with many of the vibrational healing methods, including Reiki and Homeopathy.
I continued to study Reiki and later became a Reiki practitioner, but mostly for animals. (I have used Homeopathy for yeas, with excellent results both on myself and the pets.)
Curiously, several Master Reiki Practioners, have attemtped to give me a treatment with surprisingly negative results.
I attribute their failure to my own mistrust of them. I have a strong "people detection" sense, which I h ave never found to be incorrect.
