Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 You know, I'd like to emphasize that Diane Stein is a witch, not a traditional Reiki Master. She wrote a book and said you can attune yourself, and sold a lot of books. There are many forms of healing, and many kinds of energy. You need to be attuned by a person who has Reiki in order to have Reiki energy. It is like, well, there are all kinds of cows, and they all give milk, but unless you get milk from a Jersey cow you will not have Jersey cow milk. Does that make sense? I've got Stein's book, as well as many others, and that I'm aware of, the only person who has ever been spontaneously attuned was Mikao Usui, and he was struck in the head with energy so profound that it knocked him out. He wasn't ready for it, and considering how long he'd been studying, it seems like hubris for anyone else to think they would be more ready than he was. Your mileage may vary. I've done Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, Healing Touch, Chios and other forms of intuitive healing for over twenty years, and they are all different in their approach and feel. Just because you can do energy work does not mean you are doing Reiki. Blessings, Crow , " Joel P.
