Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all of your thoughtful input everything has been taken into consideration.

I suppose my title of the thread was a little misleading. Perhaps I should have choosen a different one or maybe I should have stated what I was looking for as far as responses....I wasn't necessarily looking for facts based on research. I was more so looking for people's experiences.

As I stated earlier, I am not looking for anything miraculous to happen should I choose to give Reiki a shot. I am not looking for Reiki to heal me of my "wounds". I am not looking for it to give me the skills i need to cope---that is what my T is for. I really just want something that is for me. Something that will help me to relax, something that will make me feel good.

To each is own.

Thanks Earthmama for sharing your experience. And thank you Searching for sharing yours.

Thanks Chaotic for your input, it was much appreciated. I will take your advice and do something for ME...whether it's Reiki or something else like and art class.

Thank you Pachy...your responses where short but to the pointoh and thanks for helping me figure out how to quote posts and pieces of quotes...phew
