€25 for a 1hr Reiki Massage

I got a short demo of Reiki before and I don't remeber it being a massage as such.

It was more the person waving their hands in close proximity to my body. Energy fields and what not . Hope its what you were expecting.

we got 3 sessions on our newborn and since the last session she's slept between 8-12 hours every night and thats 5 months ago now

I wouldnt have had much faith in that sort of thing before that.
Worked wonders with a friends 5 year old too that kept wetting himself several times daily, 1 session and since has had only 1 wetting accident in the last 3 months....

What?

No happy ending? :eek:

I've merged threads on this, and restore comment #2 I made last night to prove a point!

I'm gonna put this message here #2 in line, and then delete it.

I'll then restore it when there's a mention of "happy ending" - just to prove how fecking obvious this forum has become.

OK.. GO!

We need a bit of originality on these forums.

Forum must have had a "brain-fart" earlier as there was a double dupe. Missed the second duplicate though!

I know theres a woman in Kentstown near Navan that charges €25 per hour all the time
We got ours done in Enniscorthy and was €40 per hour.

My 5 week old has very bad Collic.. I brought her to The Reiki Centre for three sessions and I have to say, I was amazed. She is now so much better and is sleeping now.. i am going to bring her again in a week or so. Also going to get a treatment for myself as I haven't been sleeping either.

Was never into that sort of thing before but there you go.. Don't knock it til you try it.

Sit and meditate for an hour as I'm sure you can arouse the same feelings without having to suffer the economic con. As a person of Indian origin, I'm amazed how willing everyone here (and the rest of the west) is to jump at anything eastern, no matter how ridiculously blatant the pseudo-science is. From eating your afterbirth to joining an ashram, people will do just about anything if you tell them an anecdotal story to go with it.

Here:
Effects of reiki in clinical practice: a systematic review of randomised clinical trials
M. S. Lee, M. H. Pittler, E. Ernst
Article first published online: 10 APR 2008

Conclusion:
"the evidence is insufficient to suggest that reiki is an effective treatment for any condition. Therefore the value of reiki remains unproven."

The funny thing is, I feel like back home, we're all mostly aware of this. We kind of laugh at the foreigners going bat**** crazy around us. Yet millions flock to "spiritual" leaders, so called gurus, mas, babas, ashrams, whatever. They end up broke and broken. Stop giving into this madness.

Eat, Pray, Cult.
(and yes, there's actually a cult associated with the book/movie, of course. Siddha Yoga, a brutal sect that exploited countless of women, children, men, and families-physically, sexually and financially)

Save your hard earned euros! Or give them to me and I'll wave my hands at you for an hour and tell you all about the chi I just transferred to you.

And for those claiming stories of healing. The human body cures 90% of illness and problems on it's own. It just takes it's own time. It's when you let others take credit for that healing, that you get taken advantage of. For the other 10%, western medicine is your best bet. Trust your GP/doctor.
