The Reiki Cafe 

Apologies to all concerned over the misunderstanding that have arisen from my having placed these links in the wrong place.

Webmaster - If you do not want these links on your site, please make it known to me and those who have been cross at me for not having provided them.

Joesph Harrison Grice.

Joe Grice has been using the internet to make contact with people interested in learning more of his own brand of reiki called "Biajopi". Grice has made great claims about the potential of this energy, but seems instead to have done more to damage people than heal anyone. His profile, or handle here is soul_alchemist.

http://www.whoisjoegrice.freeservers.com is a site that is growing and contains inconsistancies in his own argument, and accounts of his conduct and the opportunity for readers to add their own comments.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/breaking_news/cyberrats.shtml is a link to the BBC radio five "five live reports" page for the edition Sunday 29 December - a 30 minute documentary, the bulk of which concentrating on the chaos Grice has caused one family, and group of friends. There is a link to hear the programme which is available online.

eileen,

When I saw your first posting I ignored it because it concerned the person who has posted here in the past as soul_alchemist. However when I saw the rucus your posts seems to have stirred up I checked out the sites you posted. Didn't have the proper plug in for the show but I doubt I would have been surprised by what they had to say.

You are right that the person in question has posted here, but if you check you will find that it has been almost two years since he has entered this site under the name of soul_alchemist. He wasn't particularly well received here. Yes there were a few who thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread but for the most part I think he was seen for pretty much what he appears to have turned out to be. (Personally I got a very 'greasy' sort of feeling from him rather like the one you get when someone gives you one of 'those' looks. If you are a woman you know what I'm talking about. :-))

It is unfortunate that there are people like him out there but it seems that there are always those who are willing to take advantage of any opportunity to use and abuse those who are less informed or weaker. The greatest weapon we have against them is information. Knowledge is power. Thanks for the information.

Walk in beauty,
Rebecca

Hi!
After listening to this BBC program, it seemed evident to me that this man's messages were screaming EGO power. The shadow side of power. The girls were looking for something "interesting" and they sure got it. Neither was looking for healing. We all need to LISTEN to our intuition. We cannot give our power away to others. Unfortunately, this can happen with ANY profession......it can happen with mechanics, religious leaders, physicians, teachers, it is not restricted to those who practice Reiki or other healing modalities. The fact that there is an ill and unscrupulous person claiming to practice "Reiki" does not make me at all nervous about the healing avenues I pursue. Being aware of evil is just part of being human. I can smell a rat.....always could.

Dear Rebecca,
Thank you for posting this. Now I know who this person is as I remember his entrance & exit here 2 years ago. You are right, he was not well received at all.

peace & joy,
holobon
