As to actual true debunking of such hocum, they asked some children if they could think of some experiments to show whether this type of laying on of hands rubbish worked. So an 11 year old girl said the practitioners should try doing it through a sheet and then manipulate the chi. Unsurprisingly they could even tell correctly if there was even a person the other side of the sheet.
I don't think you can possibly be a healer just by slipping some fat old hippy some money and her prancing around and ringing a bell. I admit I was totally taken in because I wanted to believe.
I think that people who believe it works are not being "healed" by Reiki but by benefitting from the attention and the comfort of being touched by another. A bit like mummy kissing it better when a child hurts himself. Not some magical power.
Please don't pay any more money to these people. It's all total B*******
I would have thought whether reiki works or not warrants a separate thered, but to answer the actual question once you've been initiated, that's it. Nothing can ****** it up whatever you do or however long you leave it.
OK, you may be able to guess how I know this, but though I am a reiki master I don't understand it at all, with my mind anyway. But things do happen, and with many people it does work, so I just accept there are many things we don't yet understand but still may work.
The only other suggestion I'd add is to go out and try it on some volunteers like I did, and then you'll get more of an idea what it can do.
