Reiki trained and dangerous

I’ve now had my one-day Reiki training.  I can administer to myself and others.

To be honest, I’m still skeptical about it. There is so little hard evidence to support the science behind Reiki. Just anecdotal PH.reikistories.

But you do feel better after a Reiki session, even if there is doubt that there are any curative effects.

I will practice.

I was hoping Reiki, over time, may stimulate the nerves that have been traumatised/damaged.

If anyone has experience of Reiki supporting post-protatectomy recovery, I’d be interested to hear them.

Reiki – first time

I had my first Reiki experience yesterday.

Why? well there was an article in a magazine I read that indicated that Reiki could help recovery from prostatectomy.  Maybe not a good reason, but I thought I’d try.  There are also many Reiki practitioners in Ubud.

The limited information and research there is on the web relates to Reiki and the usual causes of erectile dysfunction, such as getting old, stress, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, alcoholism, and so on. There is virtually nothing on helping to regenerate the nerves that were attached to the prostate, the ones that give a man an erection. If anyone knows of and research related to Reiki and nerve regeneration I’d be interested to read it.

Anyway, I felt great after the Reiki session I had. Not sure if it will help speed up recovery but I will have more sessions.

I did have my best pad-free night after it.  Maybe that was the Reiki.
