Otoharo!
It is hard to bring all that back to mind. Later when I went to visit after being reiki III, I especially wanted to attune everyone, but not a one really wanted it.
One of my sisters had migraine headaches frequently. My efforts did not remove the migraine immediately. So she was not very impressed. However, she sort of had me up on a pedestal. None of them would be still long enough.
One of my brothers, the one who was a scientist at Los Alamos, was learning accupuncture. He accepted reiki but stuck with his accupuncture. His comment about reiki was that he already knew the energy. Likely, he had had reiki is a prior life which explained his effectiveness with accupuncture.
My other brother and his second wife were alcoholics. He was somewhat is awe of reiki, and me. He could not break out of alcohol.
My sister who is an artist invited me to winter with her in 2002. She is the one with migraines. She too, had me up on a pedestal even though she would not be still long enough for a complete treatment.
It is hard to bring back all the details. The end result was that they just were in awe but not able to allow themselves to change.
