Fay, I think that energy work such as reiki *does* have real effects; like most non-Western therapies, it doesn't seem to have *dramatic* effects, so it tends to get derided.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Mostly lurking...
I've had people do reiki on me (which surprises some people...but, hell, sometimes you'll get desperate enough to try anything!). I do find it calming and helps with muscle tension, etc. That was the main thing we were concentrating on when I had it done. I say go for it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Kristin or Drew -
Could either of you please let Joe know to check either of his email accounts. He can check in for his flight and print his boarding passes after 8:30am PST.
Thanks.

My sister has done the reiki thing (gotten her hands switched on or whatever so she can do it , as well as having it done on her) and finds it useful. Her mileage and your mileage, of course, not necessarily the same.

I haven't taken reiki, but when I was working at the church, the spirituality group that was housed under the same roof offered it; it was pretty popular and I was intrigued. But since it was at work, and I wanted to leave the building when I was done with work, I never ended up taking classes.
MUCH, MUCH ~ma to Suzi's mom and to Suzi!
Am intrigued by Sparky's bid!
Also, ~ma for Cashmere's DH
ION, we now have a Wii and it is good. I am happy to report that is really all the excitement in the McWarnigle household at the moment. (knocks wood)

I subscribe to the theory that Western therapies are great for trauma or disease and Eastern therapies are stronger with chronic systemic weirdness. Strange rashes, tension, pain, insomnia... time for the woo woo.
