Reiki is *absolutely* about healing! How could you say it's not!!!

Healing is by its very natural a spiritual process anyway!!!

It boggles my mind how people begrudge other healers their business. Yes, you can purchase Reiki-charged items and they will help lift up your energy. Sometimes it is better to use items from another person (adding to your intention) than just performing healing on yourself.

If you feel so guided to purchase a Reiki-charged item from a Reiki practitioner then by all means do so! Many Reiki practitioners are struggling and could use some share of abundance for the light they bring into the world!

Many of these items are available on eBay for highly reasonable prices - half the stuff I've seen is below $10, and sometimes that *includes* the shipping! That's an awfully great bargain for an item of healing value. I am sure most of the Reiki practitioners there are sincere and actually *do* charge their items. You can see from their feedback scores that most of them have excellent ratings.

I have bought crystals to help with meditation and helaing. I clear the items when I get them and put my own reiki energy into them.

This tells the story about Dr. Milao Usui the man who originated what we now call reiki.

I don't think anyone said that Reiki wasn't about healing just that the healing aspect was secondary to the spiritual one.

There are many disciplines that consider healing to be a 'stop' on the path to enlightenment. If we get to involved in the 'stop' then we get off the train and remain. Helping others heal is great and is not to be looked down upon but if that is all we see in Reiki then that is all it will be.

There are few people who actually make a living from their Reiki practice and I don't believe that it was ever intended to be a 'business' in the literal sense of the word.
