Reikicurmudgeon,
Namaste...
Good point about having prior energy "dealings".
Concerns raised to me have always been folks with limited exposure to energy work.
And then there are others who have never had reiki and have been polluted with bad information so they are a bit trickier to engage in conversation.
Again, easy to understand dialog seems helpful so there are fewer misunderstandings leading to defensiveness.
And this isn't just in the realm of the religious, it can also be in realm of the scientific/medical as well.
Glad the student reconsidered the attunements. Great testimonial.
:-)
Happy day,
Mammabear
