A friend of mine's mother did Reiki on me one time. I didn't notice anything good or bad about it other than I felt like it was nice of her to offer support during a time when I needed it. But I've actually appreciated a lot of other healing modalities all across the spectrum. I guess this one just never did it for me.

I have heard, though, that Reiki can be invasive in that you are allowed to do work on people without their permission. Doesn't this kind of disregard important boundaries?

Then again, I guess sending good vibes or prayers or good will toward another or imagery for them to succeed could fall under that same category, and I don't think anyone would argue with that...it's just that healing modalities that purport to have an effect on people should be consented to, because with all healing, there are after effects of healing as well to be considered.

Just my rant. Kind of diverged there a little.
