Reiki is the chanelling of the univeral energy through our centers right.
We can accept or refuse the energy! 
 
It sounds strange but there is an aspect of Reiki that is healing at a distance.  With both persons focused at the same time on the healing and the use of a few focus symbols a reiki-therapist can chanel-send the universal energy to another. 
 
so Valerie ... I can understand where your brother's fear arises from! 
I explored my ideas of metaphysics while i was still well at school so when I introduced my aunt to the concepts and let her take her paths ... she came back with notions and pratices we could share and exchange.  We have Trust and Love and even with my bipolarity this foundation has remained.  Her treatment room is a peaceful place where I have released so much pain and were I have let go of so much - I should have, I could have, maybe, butbutbut,
 
Brenna,
I do not see the reiki as helping MY depression.  Mine was too much linked to the effexor causing a rapid cycling !!  However,  The reiki helps to reinforce the CBT!  It is the lifestyle changes that keeps me stable and happy.  It is the ounce of prevention. The reiki is the charge of the batteries on the series of bad days.

Lets go wayyy back ... how can god exist? is this the biggest and longest delusion for humanity?
 
I explored the ideas of many scientific people in the notions of god ... and I exlored the theories of quantum physics.  This is where atoms are explored.  Atoms are bits of matter and huge amounts of energy holding them together.  So between the atoms that are me, the air, the table, the computer, and so there is no differenence.  I should be able to influence the atoms that are not me... some how....  I needed a lot reasurance from these learned people that I was not going to kid myself.  I was not going to Brainwash myself and follow and acceptable scept.  So I searched for ideas of god and godess, much like Joseph Campbell did.
 
Reiki was one of those half spirit half secular notions of energy i came across. I knew it was something that I would need but was hesitant to explore with strangers ...  what is Reiki ...  The dictionary says...

Reiki is a Japanese holistic, light-touch, energy-based modality. Working as a support mechanism to the body, Reiki re-establishes a normal energy flow of ki (life force energy) throughout the system, which in turn can enhance and accelerate the body's innate healing ability. Through a series of hand positions either directly on or just above the body, the energy worker allows for the flow of energy through their body. The client’s body then draws off the amount of energy that is required. The simplicity of a Reiki session may raise some skepticism. Reiki is simple and produces measurable results. It is power, light and love. 

 
I regularly use my energy centers (chakras).  I use these these points of my body to focus my attention / my energy.  So when my kiddies are sick I will sick in the "magic" chair and hug them close to the solar plexus that sponges up the negative (too much gives me a sore stomach).  When I listen to my mother I open my "heart" and feel what she needs not what she is saying.   When I am speaking to clients on the phone, I open my throat and put all my information through the sprial of energy here so the words come out clear and meaningful.  When I hear of a sick of needful friend I "pray" for them.  I focus my thoughts through the white energy at the top of my head and ask the god and goddess to give my gift to my friend.  I ask the god and goddess ( the female and male aspects of our LORD - i had to divide them up because of my experiences) to help  my friend find the strenght and comfort to pass the ordeal they find themself in. 
 
So every  once in a while I find I over tax myself.  I find I have an unbalanced energy exchange.  These past few months I have been losing stuff; expensif, important, stuff.  I have not been able to quietly meditate and return my focus.  So my Reiki-therapist chanels energy from the universe into my body ... and gets the plumbing unblocked.  It seems that the problem was that my inner child in ready to be healed and released.  So it is syphoning a lot of energy from the solar plexus.  The second and rood chakras are compensating ... but that means I am not balanced.

Hi Wildcat,
 
I don't know anything about Reiki, it sounds like you had fun.
 
Hi Valerie,
 
I'm sorry that your brother did not have the experience Wildcat did.  It is really wonderful that you have taken the time to join because of your brother.  Not many family members do that, it's a testament to how much he means to you.  Hopefully he will come to a place where he can recognize it.  It can happen!

WildCat, I am glad you have such a great bond with your Aunt and your Chouette! And yes please explain what Reiki is, I find myself ignorant of theese things.
 
Valerie, I think the way you love your brother is commendable. Hang in there.
