Hey there,

Question to ponder for me is how can a person tell is Reiki is working or some other modality when both are being used?

peace,

Probably no way to know for sure.

Dear FK,
Psychological modalities such as Thought Pattern Management techniques, NLP etc., that assist in the healing process. I believe some have been mentioned on this website but I can't remember the names exactly but deal with body reflexes such as blinking, tapping, hypnosis type methods.

- to some extent I think you are trying to compare apples and tire irons

- many of the NLP-type practices, as much as I know about them, are not applied by one person to another as is Reiki and cannot be done remotely

- nor is hypnosis typically done at distance (though there are some who claim to do shamanic extraction and soul retrieval remotely - I hold with doing those practices only in person)

- so, I would have no trouble determining if I was doing NLP at the same time someone was doing Reiki for me

- but, are NLP, hypnosis useful tools? Can be but as in many of the alternative modalities not everyone gets the same or good results

But say that over a period of a couple of months, you were being treated in reiki sessions and also had sessions w/ an NLP trainer. And that whatever condition you had at the beginning of that period had changed. How would you know which modality had contributed to how much of the change?

- a question from a researcher-like mind it seems

>:-}}

- unless I were able to detect improvements (or perhaps even regressions) after each individual session then it would be difficult to say - it would not be possible to say if multiple modalities were taken each trial - though I do have some skill at distinguishing between Reiki and hypnosis and when someone's personal energy may be sneaking in

bagl

- this is why one might, ideally, have each modality separately for some trials and both together for some trials - and then separately again

- yet it is not easy to envision placebo conditions for all the modalities - a definite short-coming to such an experiment

>:-}}

- hencce, I tend not to approach alternative modalities as some sort of dim sum

- I use what works for me and what others say has benefits for them - if these no longer are effetive I check my Intentions and mindfulness first - then perhaps re-tool my practices or learn an additional skill

Also Rapid Eye Technology.

RET and Reiki work very well together to achieve the releasing of issues. I say go for it!

Dear Thejs,
thanks! I am considering it. Sounds like you know about it.
