Hi Donna
I just wondered if anyone has had the opposite experience - people who you thought would be opposed to reiki who turned out to be very interested and supportive.
My parents (bless them) have been like that. I thought they were quite conservative and uninterested in 'alternative' things, but they can't get enough of reiki and ask lots of questions, and are really interested in how I'm developing it.
Some people at work are the same - one of the girls who comes from a fiercely Catholic Irish family was one of the keenest to try it on her stiff neck, and I just smiled enigmatically when it caused her to sleep for 12 hours non-stop for the first time in ages.
Sometimes we can be surprised by support and encouragement we didn't know we had. I have to say though being a Taoist helps this for me - compared to people talking about an obscure chinese religion reiki is an easy subject!
