aronaya,
/*\ Namaste :-}}
- you said: "Actually, I don't. I don't see compassionate action coming out of fear, nor do I see it attracting negativity.
My point is the opposite, that fear attracts negativity."
- yet you say that reiki symbols may be used out of fear - that they are some sort of armoring
- yet reiki is compassionate action
- so how may the symbols be used as armoring (out of fear) if they are simply tools to help some folks with compassionate action??
???????
- also, please be very clear: I do not use or adhere to the so-called mantra "Reiki does no harm"
- that mantra, as you put it, reflects blindness to certain 'realities' (bagl) of energy work
- mindfulness is a process that applies in all things - if in the process of developing and applying mindfulness (tho some seem not to bother or see the importance) we reduce our fears (which are based largely on the our reactions that things are not as we would like them, aka suffering), then that is all well and good

- there is nothing abstract about the act of being mindful
