Hi folks, I posted this same question on the Beliefnet boards. I'm trying to get more responses.
Anyway, I am new to Reiki, having had only one treatment. It was very relaxing and I would like to learn more about it. I also read a book (one of those "dummies" guides) which was helpful. Upon looking at some of the Reiki websites, it seems that there are certain elements about Reiki that seem, well, "flaky". I'm talking about "fairies", "enlightened masters from Atlantis", even talk about angels. I really like the idea of a universal healing energy and maybe I can even go in for the idea of a "spirit guide". I'm wondering if a person can be too logical for Reiki. I am not into organized religion at all because of the things most faiths ask you to believe. So how can I believe in fairies and Atlanteans? Or is this something that is not typical of most practitioners? The woman I went to does "fairy readings" and I think that's just a little too much for me to swallow.
Thanks to all who respond -- I appreciate all comments.
Jodi
