The Reiki Cafe 

Are you a healer with various trainings/classes/modalities.
Whatever you choice of words is.
I would love to hear your experiences /opinions on these subjects....

Has anybody tried other classes in healing work to find that
they are marketing Reiki in another way?
Or have you found other modalities that work differently or faster than Reiki?

What about Shaman mixed with Reiki anybody tried this?

Love to hear more from everybody

OK... here goes...
I know this may start a flame or two, but I'll come out of lurking on this one.
Yes I practice several modalities other than Reiki. Reiki had been a wonderful life changing addition to my "pack-sac", but certainly is not the only item in there, nor has it moved everything to the bottom. Reiki has become part of most of what I do (whether I wanted it to or not). IMHO Reiki is not the solution to all, (but can be for some)and certainly is a recommended addition to any modality.
There are modalities that are "better" than Reiki at treating certain conditions, and adding Reiki to those treatments would help. e.g. dislocated shoulder - needs to be physically put pack - Reiki alone is unlikely to do that. e.g. Trauma from an auto accident (fractures, bleeding, forigne objects imbedded) - I'll put the ER teams ahead of ANY modality in such a situation. After they are done... then is where the speculation as to what's next or best begins.
I also think that opportunists have capitalized by forming many off-shoots for profit. This has and continues to happen in many modalities. Just look at any modality specific magazine (e.g. Yoga Journal, Massage Today, etc.) and you'll see several re-branded or similar modalities being marketed. You'll also see in forums like this and others, those that are "traditionalists", and those that will entertain any modification and refinements. Some are zealots, and will flame and dig, others are willing to listen and contribute a viewpoint.
Everywhere there seems to be a trend for people to re-brand to try to get "their fair share". I'm not against fair compensation for fair value, but take acceptation to the false market driven profiteers.
Bottom line is if it works for you, you are comfortable using and believing in it, and live as best as you can by "do no harm", then namaste.
If incorporating Reiki into other modalities is of interest, or if you or anyone is interested in an open discussion of Reiki experiences while performing other modalities, drop a line.

Darren,

/*\ Namaste :-}}

- my suspicion is that the question was about other alternative\energy modalities\yoga, etc

- I too will take the ER at my hospital for emergencies requiring immediate medical attention (if someone wants to add Reiki they can ask me at the time and I will likly say yes (if I am conscious) - otherwise, my wife can say yes (or no) for me

Reiki All Around,

I'm very fond of craniosacral therapy (tend to think of the duratube as an umbilical cord to Spirit...but that's just me)....felt it only got better when I learned to include Reiki. Perhaps, you've heard of "Adam", the DreamHealer (that's how you find him on the Internet). Using quantum physics and much else, teaches others how to focus their intent.....for healing....using visualization. I love how everything overlaps. I was using visualization & teaching it to my clients for a long time, but felt Adam had taken it even further....and this is the second master that I've found that's only twenty years young.....I mean, it's taken me all of my life to just get to this edge. He's not teaching anything that hasn't been around for thousands of years....but I think he's going to make a big difference for all energy work.

Thanks for you thoughtful response.

Namaste Blessings

Thank you for your reply

I received sacral cranial and it greatly helped me.

I was a Reiki Master at the time & was asking for relieve to
chronic issues.

I feel I received help with the body part but I felt lack of closure.I work on these myself.
