reiki healing?

Yes. Not all the healers here are clergy, and not all the clergy are healers.

That said, there's something to be said for going through the seminary training to learn to better help others on a non-healing level.

Oh I got ya. I feel like I'm being called as a healer and for some reason connected clergy with the way to go there so I think I stuck the two terms together somewhere lol.

What are you wanting? A forum? A group like the IP Team or the Clergy?

At the moment, I don't know. A group might be helpful eventually, but I don't know who all to include in it.

Well I have been practicing Reiki for quite some time, just never found I wanted to spend the money to go do the other levels of training, plus it always falls on Drill weekend for me unfortunately. I've had much success in helping people with it in the past, so I'm pretty confident in my knowledge of it. I also do herbal holistic medicine as well, making oils, salves, and tinctures and would love to be included in this healing group should anyone ever decide to make one. I would love to share any knowledge I can with others in the group.

Bumping this to see if we ever got that Healer's Circle idea off the ground?

I've gone from reiki 1 to 2 since this topic last came up, so with HSZSN I might actually be of some use now.

I'm a certified reiki master

with all do respect TOTJO have talked about Reiki classes for years. There is yet to be any follow through on it. I would gladly teach the REIKI program myself if they would let me. A few of their knights can be the first class to try it out..

There are a few of us plotting a few steps ahead of you, Hannigan, it's just taking a while to get going. You're more than welcome to help out in whatever way you're able, though.

I don't think it's accurate to say we've talked about it for years; rather that there was some conversation years ago that never came to fruition. In any event, it seems the discussion we should be having is less about offering training in one modality than about forming a group experienced in a number of modalities. I don't want to diss online reiki training, but having done first online and then off-, my experience was that the work I did online way back when was just no substitute for having an in-person teacher. YMMV.

Oh. I think I misunderstood... as usual, heh. I'm not interested in offering training. Sorry.

The previous topic was actually to create a group of practitioners the Temple could draw on, not to provide teaching. However, some of us plan to do the latter as well.

Oh. That, I could do.

Sorry to be confused/confusing

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate topic to post in, but I have a question.

I have noticed a correlation between people who do "energy healing" and people getting sick, mostly from anecdotal accounts, admittedly.

Has this ever been noticed in the Reiki/energy-healing community, or am I completely off? And if not, is there any possibility of causality between energy healing and getting sick (maybe doing something wrong or getting out of balance)?

I have very little experience with this topic, so my question is completely out of ignorance (and the curiousity that brings).

The only way to really pull it off would be to have written work but also a weekly group chat to discuss those lessons. I did this over skype im the past and it worked well.

Hannigan's Reiki courses were very good. He knows his stuff.

I've not experienced this, I don't think, nor have I heard talk of it among other reiki practitioners I know.

Other energy modalities use the healer's energy, but reiki claims no harm.

My sister-in-law tried reacted strongly to trying to learn any of it, vomiting all over the place, apparently. Ms Adder went on to do level 2 but didn't bother with the 3rd. Sister-in-law elected to stop early obviously

The first few times I *received* reiki I had very strong physical reactions. Seizures and I stopped breathing on the table once. But after 3 sessions, whatever it was cleared.
