Arrgh that dreaded spam again :(

Attunements in person can be wonderful, I love them. And sharing the whole experience with like minded people can be a fantastic boost to ones faith that we aren't mad lol. Swings and roundabouts.

Sorry you had a bad experience. xxx

Well my Reiki I was an incredible experience and I love using Reiki so I am happy

I feel ready to do my Reiki II so I shall see what happens...

In most cases learning Reiki isn't all that expensive. Cost is, I understand, a relative thing. What seems like a bargain to one person is more than another can afford.

We do find the money somehow for the things that are important to us. Saving for something may take awhile but can be done and will make the attainment of a goal more significant.

Teaching or practicing Reiki is not something that is without its costs either. A teacher gives up time, more than you realize, for the classes. (they had to learn as well and many also produce their own teaching materials all of which takes time and money) There are other out of pocket expenses as well. Gas, which as we all know isn't getting any cheaper. Possibly child care or other similar expenses, how many are taking care of an elderly parent and must find someone to replace them for the hours required. They've purchased things like massage tables and related accessories (blankets, pillows, candles, incense, music, etc). The time each student requires after the class (in the form of support and questions etc). The list isn't endless but can be extensive. So now my question is why would someone expect to get all of this for nothing?

I suppose in a perfect world Reiki would be free, but then in a perfect world it wouldn't be needed either.  

There are legitimate places where a person can receive an attunement without cost but an attunement is only a small part of the process. My advise to anyone looking for a free attunement is to do your reasearch, even more so than if you were looking for a in person class. Know the person doing the attunement well. I don't mean someone you met online yesterday but someone you've known online for some time and have built a relationship with so that you know they are authentic and what you will actually be getting when you do receive an attunement. In many cases you do get exactly what you pay, or don't pay for.

This board especially should know how dangerous it can be to accept energy like this from someone you have no knowledge of or understanding of what they might actually be sending. All of this is likely to take more time than the average 'why can't I have it for nothing?' type is willing to spend. (there is that word again, spend, time does have an intrinsic value of it's own)

Why this board especially?

Gem,


Because it is not exclusive to Reiki but includes disciplines that have their own understanding of energy and its uses.

Harm can mean many things and some things that one person defines as harm may not be things that another does.

I don't believe that Reiki, or any other energy, can not cause harm. I don't believe that Reiki has a mind of its own as many practitioners believe. My belief is that mindfulness and intention are the driving forces. An attunement with less that mindful intent can include other energies that are not so beneficial. On the other hand there are many people out there who are less than honorable and the possibility that some are sending 'attunements' for their own purposes is not unlikely.
