Starfire,
Namaste...
One quick comment about crystals (or whatever else one may use in addition to reiki during a session.)
I was at a reiki share once where a woman started using crystals on a recipient (who btw was a shaman)without his permission. He was very upset.
Building trust and respect between practitioner and recipient by informing them about what you are doing gives the recipient a better opportunity to more fully connect with the experience thus perhaps aid more in their healing.
And I'm sure you are wonderful at that, but felt compelled to share the experience.
It's that little voice in my head thing...

Blessings to your work...
... and everything.
