Hi All,
I have not read many of the posts as there are farrr to many, LOL but I will weigh in with my 2 cents.
I ask for permission because with reiki we are effecting a person on many levels and that can have a huge effect on a person's life. If they are emotionally a mess from a treatment they have the right to know why, when and how this is happening. I would also not appreciate it if someone were to work on me that I did not approve of due to their poor teaching, poor practicing, etc.
I have learned that no, perhaps reiki can "do no harm" but a practitioner that has little experience sure as heck can!
I have worked with clients that go into healing crisis and are very confused, crying, angry, and don't understand why. As a pratitioner I feel I have a responsibility to care for that person throught their healing process.
If I pray for someone in distress, I pray for beings with higher knowledge than myself to care for that person. There, in my opinion, is a difference.
OK, so maybe 5 cents worth, LOL
Love and light,
Tracey
