What Reiki Is Not

2 min read

The most useful conversation I have with a new client is usually about what a session will not do. It costs me a booking now and again, and I would rather it did.

It is not a substitute for treatment

If you are under a doctor's care, stay under it. Nothing in a healing session replaces medication, therapy, or a diagnosis someone qualified has given you. I will ask what else you have in place, and if the honest answer is nothing, I will say that the first call should be to a doctor rather than to me.

This is not modesty. Anyone who tells you to stop a treatment because of what they felt in a session is telling you something dangerous, whatever else they may be good at.

It is not a diagnosis

What I notice in a session is where a person seems to be holding tension, and what comes up when they stop holding it. That is not the same as knowing what is wrong with them, and I do not present it as though it were.

If something I notice seems worth investigating, the sentence I use is that it might be worth mentioning to your doctor. Not that you have a condition.

It is not a guarantee

Some people get up from a session and describe an obvious shift. Some feel pleasantly rested and nothing more. A few feel nothing at all, and I have no explanation for them that would be honest.

I do not promise outcomes at the booking stage, and I would be wary of anyone in this field who does.

What is left is still worth having

An hour in which nothing is asked of you, nobody needs a decision from you, and the week is allowed to be set down. Attention from someone whose only job in that hour is to pay it. For a great many people who come to me, that is the substance of it rather than a consolation prize.

Told plainly, that is a modest offer. It is also one I can make without overstating a thing.

Want this looked at for your own chart or home?

A consultation starts with your date of birth, your name as people use it, and (for Vastu) a floor plan with the directions marked.

When Three Readings Say Different Things

Vastu, the chart and the numbers can each point somewhere else. Where they diverge is usually the most useful part of the consultation.
