Tehtarik,

- in my experience, if there is going to be a need for protection during a session I will almost alwyas "know" this well before I ever put hands on someone
>:-}}
- but this situation has been rare -
- as for doing protection?? - surround oneself with "high vibrational energy" (Mindful Intent) and all should be well
>:-}}
- Reiki practices are not universally harmless, so to speak
- for example, to do energy work with persons suffering from schizophrenia or other major "psychosis" can be a very dicey situation
- these folk have trouble interpretting the "normal" world - and may have even more trouble interpretting experience associated with energy work, including Reiki practices -
- psychotic episodes or exacerbation of other symptoms may follow energy work for such Sentients -
- so, to this extent Reiki is not harmless
Hope this helps,
Reiki all aorund,
all blessings,
firekeeper
