    I don't know much about Reiki, but my ex has gone for cranial sacral therapy, which is also an energy therapy. He used to get horrible migraines...tried everything - nothing worked. Finally he went for 3 sessions and they were really effective. I think he goes for some follow-up sessions every year or 2, but he swears by them.

    yeah i heard of cranial sacral therapy but don't know much about it. But wow, that is something. From all I heard so far, it really seems like it works.

    I think in some ways it's similar to Reiki - you're fully clothed and they apply light pressure to differnt points of the body...i think it's supposed to release blockages, etc. He gets his treatments from a physical therapist

    I've had reiki done by a friend who is a reiki master. She practised on us a bit. I remember the first time I had it I just felt incredibly chilled out and relaxed and when we went out later I found I didn't have all the usual worries and insecurities in my brain that I usually have.

    I would love to be a reiki master myself one day and study it. I didn't think you could learn it from a book though - I thought you needed a reiki master to "tune" you in or something at a class?

    Does anyone get treatments? Any practitioners on here? I actually found out about it at my work. We had a conference where we offered a workshop about it.

    Here's information about for anyone who doesn't know what it is.

    Oh yeah, you definitely need to go and learn from a reiki master. The book is just an overview and it has resources.

    In the Netherlands it is quite popular, You can do self-healing as well.
    I remember seeing in a book ways to put your hands on your face to relax and soothe yourself. Funny thing is I usually sit like that to feel relaxed.

    I believe touch is a very powerful tool.

    I went to psychical therapist who did kinetics (something like that). Also had to do with magnetism (...right word? When they use their hands for energy without touching you).
    I had real problems with my knees, but no real help from the doctor other therapist. After the first session, I felt so happy and relaxed. It was indeed like all my worries meant nothing. I felt like I should feel. So free...wow!

    But after a few days it wore off, and reality kicked in hard for me. I saw her for two years though and it really helped me relax and seeing things in a different perspective. Also my knee-problem...still sometimes it comes up, but she helped me reckognize why it comes up. And the moment I realize it and relax the muscles, it is gone.

    I believe a lot diseases come from mental stress.

    And lastly, I would like to do a course like that, but it is quite expensive.

    Goodluck, and once you have it mastered send some reiki over this message pit for all of us to enjoy ;)
    Why not be mediocre and be the best at it that you can be?
