How many times have you felt frustrated when asked for proof that Reiki practice works?
Do you — like many Reiki practitioners — cringe when the question of evidence comes up?
Yet questions about proof are very reasonable. Every Reiki professional needs to address people’s desire for proof with comfort and clarity, but even home practitioners appreciate the confidence that comes when we can field questions about our practice with poise.
This discussion helps you get over your discomfort and address questions of evidences skillfully and accurately. It will help you develop a satisfying answer, one that targets people’s concerns and brings them closer to giving Reiki practice — and you — a try.
I don’t tell you what you “should” say. I want you to speak from your own authentic understanding of Reiki practice.
I will equip you with information, perspective, and strategies so you can respond to the question of proof credibly and comfortably, no matter who is asking — a doctor, a potential client, or your mother!
Why you don’t want to coerce or persuade anyone to try Reiki.
I had a great advantage when I first experienced Reiki practice in 1986; I had been a student of yoga and meditation for nearly 25 years.
Although Reiki was not presented to me as a spiritual practice, my first treatment and my previous experience helped me recognize that Reiki is a spiritual practice. My subsequent discovery of the teachings of Reiki founder Mikao Usui bore this out.
Yet most Reiki practitioners — perhaps you are one of them — stumble over the words spiritual and spirituality.
Many Reiki practitioners are convinced you need to avoid those words when speaking in public or to medical professionals.
That avoidance is unfortunate and self-defeating, because spiritual support is the core of what Reiki practice offers.
