- compelled??
- classic Reiki is hands-on
- yet, there are times when working off the body an inch or two is very useful as well
- but, since it is a rather separate practice from hands-on Reiki with added implications I always get permission first before working off the body
- in general, though, I will not substitute hands-on with hands-off (if nothing else, this begins to approximate distance Reiki - I prefer hands-on reiki 98.77% of the time)
>:-}}
- so, in the context you present I would say - no worries
- I try to remember that when I practice Reiki for myself it is hands-on - so why would I want less than that for someone else (whenever possible)??
