Lisa, Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony. This is the type of reiki I learned.. the original. http://www.reiki.org/FAQ/WhatIsReiki.html#ideals "In Reiki, however, the healer places the hands above the recipient; however, it is the recipient that draws the energy as needed. Thus, in this case, the individual being healed takes an active part in the healing process as opposed to having a passive part in spiritual healing. The individual takes responsibility for his or her healing. The recipient identifies the needs and cater to them by drawing energy as needed." http://www.massagesbyjenaire.com/reiki.htm.. Your reference site, and, IMO completely accurate. No seizure would be caused by the process, more likely it was the result of a patient feeling nervous. K) "There are no harmful side effects from Reiki". http://www.anamcarareiki.net/science.html Here, another of your references disagrees with your belief in Reiki's ability to harm. "Reiki is a life-enhancing art. For those suffering from illness, it is a means of returning to health." http://www.geocities.com/fascin8or/reiki_hamamoto.htm (My rely to that is GARBAGE!) This page talks of a different form of reiki where people are irresponsibly given 'recipes' online. I'm not impressed. http://www.geocities.com/fascin8or/d_treatment_hearts_blood.htm All your sites prove is that, often, one needs a knowledge of the topic before finding it online or else they can be misinformed. I only do reiki on myself or (sometimes) good friends. I have no wish to learn massage. "Energy therapies: These therapies use energy fields. Biofield therapies (such as Reiki and Therapeutic Touch) involve energy fields of the human body, which have not yet been scientifically proven to exist. Bioelectromagnetic-based therapies (such as magnetic stimulation) use things like magnets or electrical current. Very few of these therapies have been tested by large, well-designed scientific studies, and research into their use in epilepsy is even more rare. A few small studies and reports of individual cases suggest that some may be helpful. If you are interested in exploring an alternative therapy to try to improve your quality of life, discuss it with your doctor to make sure that you stay safe and don't waste your money and time on something that will offer no benefit. Studies have shown that no more than one-third of epilepsy patients who use alternative therapies tell their neurologist. Not telling your neurologist is a mistake, even if you are not using the alternative therapy to treat your epilepsy. Inform your neurologist about any alternative therapies that you are using or plan to use. The neurologist can tell you whether the new therapy is likely to affect your epilepsy or interact with your seizure medicine. The neurologist also needs to know about the alternative therapy so he or she can correctly figure out the cause of any changes in your condition." http://www.epilepsy.com/articles/ar_1066716443.html While that was likely written by someone with no direct experience in Reiki, they DO have excellent advice regarding the need to tell specialists if/when any patient explores with Reiki or other non-medical therapies. ~sol
