Have you undergone Reiki treatment?!
Question: Have you undergone Reiki treatment!?
If so, can you please give me your sincere, unbiased opinion on the efficacy of such a treatment!. I request Reiki Masters or practisioners not to answer this question!. They can answer my previous question which is meant for them and not for those who have no knowledge of Reiki!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Yes twice I have!. Once in one of the school camps(2003) during a dark night some insect-very small though- went into my eye!. With eye glass etc, I could remove it physically!. But do not know yet, what chemicals it left in my eye!. It was burning and almost in 15 min i felt swelling!. But a teacher who knew this reiki, came forward and helped me!. What she did I could not see in dark but the pains subsided in 15 more min and I could open my eye!. By the dawn I was a normal person, except that I could not sleep!. Second instance is during Last summer(may 2008) we went to remote parts of Himalaya for trekking!. In a village where the facilities were not enough, leave alone a doc, I drank some water and within an hour I was vomiting!. My wife was afraid that I shall dehydrate soon if I do not get help!. A man looking like a sage came from God knows where and stared at me for 5 minutes!. He was murmuring (or chanting in low voice) something!. It took around 5 to 7 minutes that the "movement" in my stomach calmed down and I was ok!. This, villagers say was reiki!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
There is no doubt that people have experienced genuine improvement from Reiki; however, the same can be said for a course of sugar tablets when the patient is convinced they are medicine!. Until Reiki is subjected to rigorous scientific scrutiny, I attribute its efficacy to a placebo effect!.
Charlatans capitalize on the high percentage of people who respond well to placebos!. It's not all bad because some people are actually helped, but it's highly unethical!. It becomes dangerous when chosen in lieu of bonafide medical treatment!.
Wikipedia (cited below) has a nice list of publications about the placebo effect!. They are interesting reading!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
