tardisgirl,
/*\ Namaste :-}}
- I should also add that there are, in fact, circumstances where Reiki practices done without the permisssion and\or knowledge of the recipient may provoke serious, unwanted responses to the energy - thus "making Reiki" harmful
- I speak here from personal experience where, even with permission, a 'harmful' result came from doing energy work with people challenged by significant psychiatric disorders
- the matter is really is quite serious
- any energy work may, under certain conditions, go awry
- to chance this with someone's permission is one thing
- to chance this with someone who has no idea he\she will receive energy is, to me, quite unthinkable
- hope this helps
Reiki All Around,
