   This is a great video and the presenter has an extremely calming voice. He comes across as a very grounded and kindly person.

   However, is it just me or does he appear very “yellow” in this video?

   When you are dealing in the spirit, there is no room for logic or reason. You either belive or you dont. If you want to believe, then I suggest you search for the answers yourself. No one can give you a logical reason. The answers will come from your own personal experiences. Its worked for me. It helped my mother through her chemotherapy. I really saw the before and after difference in her. I know it works for me and I have seen it work for others as well.

   Can you use the hand positions individually, or must they be used in a special sequence?

   As for an appreciable ailment, if you were to break your arm could I focus on your chi flow, infuse my own into it, redirect it to its proper course and heal you? Of course not. Don’t be stupid. But if you had an ailment, a growth, a nervous issue, could I help with that. Yes.

   Again, don’t let these wankers bother you. People like them are the reason I resigned from the AHHA and refuse to speak at any more conferences; too many flaky, self-righteous, self-satisfied, dirty hippies.

   Don’t let them bug you Coopstah, cynicism is a virtue. I have preformed chi healings for many years now and I can tell you this, it is more than a psychological placebo. Unfortunately the research into such things hasn’t been properly funded so… not much in the way of physical evidence. It’s mostly personal testimonies which are dodgey at best.

    And by the way, I’ve been into meditation for years and is amazingly pleasant, calming and makes me ecstatically happy. All these psychological effects are great, maybe I’ll have low blood pressure when I get older or something because I’m so chilled out, but i don’t see how meditation (or reiki) can HEAL me of any appreciable medical ailment.

    No you’re right, I dont get the point at all! Thats what I mean. I’d believe it if there were some evidence in its favor, but I haven’t found any. If someone could tell me the point, show me how it works, I’d be grateful because if it really worked, i’d use it myself! Simply dismissing me as an ignoramus for not taking this for granted doesn’t help me understand. If you believe this, please give me the best evidence that demonstrates reiki works as advertised. Thanks.

    our science may be advance but u have to admit that science have still many questions tht cant be answered so i doubt science could answer about the energy of life.. maybe in 50 years from now thy could and believing in this energy would be obvious.

    what u believe does not mean its right, it may be right for u but it could be wrong for others. I guess u r a very practical person who only believes in facts and statistic but we practice this for enlightenment, a sense of peace, an understanding of nature, a feeling of goodness, this is something science may not be able to replicate so in a way yes the energy of live exist, its called believing. Reality is what each individual believes in, there is neither right or wrong

    Now if only all Reiki, chakrha, Q-T practicioners would assume the “hand over the throat” position, squeezing tightly until unconscious every time they get the urge to tell someone about this tripe. Then, I would say it is doing some good.

    the problem is not that reiki provides subjective pain relief to the customer, but that the practitioner is claiming that reiki ‘heals’. There is straight-up NO good evidence that this is true! Conventional medical treatments (in my country at least) require evidence of efficacy beyond a mere placebo effect. This is why doctors can’t merely prescribe sugar pills or lie to their patients and also why I think reiki and other unproven therapies like this are at least disingenuous or even harmful.

    I’m glad you take measures to reduce stress in your life to manage your chronic illness, Nancy. It is very important. But my point is simply… if it is simply stress that reiki alleviates, why not go to the spa, chill out and get a massage instead? Or take a vacation?
    As for martial artists, I question their claims to chi as much as reiki’s claims to ki. In both cases there is no evidence of a life-energy. We don’t need ki since we can explain the function of living things without it. Thanks.

    I just use what works. Do martial artists know how exactly chi works? It does tho somehow. I may have chronic illness all my life, but I find the relief of the stress and pain can help me heal better in the long run. Stress tends to break the body down. I don’t reject conventional medicine tho. I also don’t think a marble in the navel would help me somehow hmmm. Maybe if it was amethyst heh

    the article at physorg is called “Researchers Demonstrate How Placebo Effect Works in the Brain”

    Oops, I posted the above first instead of second. The first part went something like this: I came accross an article at physorgdotcom which says that the Placebo Effect is caused in the brain that when someone believes a treatment works, the brain produces opiates to reduce the pain. This could well be what happens in reiki. This means it may not be the reiki working but the brains belief that it does. Continue above…
