Well, regardless of the lack of evidence regarding what the treatment actually does....I recommend that you budget for it and DO IT. You will benefit just by doing something to nurture yourself. If you decide to do Reiki, massage, walk in the park, movies, meditate...whatever... taking an hour to do SOMETHING that is strictly for your own "selfish" benefit is a good idea. We are not likely to risk becoming totally self-centered and inconsiderate of others (although those around us may try and make us feel that way).

I am I good at preaching or what...not so good at following my own directive. We just have to sell ourselves on the fact that helping ourselves ultimately helps others around us.
