I understand a lot more than you think I do. My original Reiki training included some of these add on techniques, phychic surgery and the like. I don’t use them and don’t teach them because they are not Reiki techniques but are practices developed by others for their own reasons.
I’ve learned the procedure, though I think that it has again been altered to include more pseudo-psychological mumbo jumbo. I have tried to find a current explanation of the procedure but it seems it has become proprietary information and isn’t revealed without paying a fee for a class so I can’t tell how it has been further altered. Regardless, it is an add on technique originally developed by William Rand for the Tibetan Reiki schools. It isn’t an original Reiki practice but something Rand developed and has incorporated into his practice of what he calls Reiki.
So all that is required is that the practitioner stir up the emotional baggage of whomever is being worked on and listen to what they have to say? Then they wait until the persons accepts what ever it is or ‘gets a grip’ on it before proceeding with the treatment. No responsibility there for anything stirred up and the person is left to deal with the fallout themselves. What is done with someone who, for examples sake, has deep seated issues regarding sexual molestation by a family member. Stir the pot and wait for them to get a grip? That isn’t going to happen in 5 minutes or even likely in 5 months. Stop meddling where you aren’t qualified to meddle. Deep seated issues are better left to professionals with years of training and a strict code of professional and legal ethics. So what if you’ve never heard of a liability suit being brought, it doesn’t mean one hasn’t or shouldn’t have been filed. It also doesn’t mean that there aren’t people who have been left hanging without a clue as to how to deal with the things they’ve been asked to dig up. The potential for abuse, misconduct, carelessness, and incompetence here boggles the mind.
Where does the 'attunement' part figure in?
My Reiki Masters teacher was also taught by William Rand. So what. Unless her credentials are in a clinical therapy they don’t mean much when it comes to working at these emotional levels. (and if they were in a clinical therapy I am sure she wouldn’t be teaching this)
Witch hunt? I don’t recall having started this thread, engaging you in conversation, or doing more than responding to someone else's question with an opinion that was different than yours. (an opinion based in some experience, mine, as well as others)
I think I will incorporate a little brain surgery into my Reiki practice. Any takers? ;-)
Walk in beauty,
