Thank You Coopergrrl, Well explained!

Ray, I have no arguement with you.
I only know what I have learned and experienced. We are all entitled to different viewpoints and opinions and I respect the differences.

This thread was originally about Reiki and healing touch for pain management, and is not meant to be a discussion nor a debate about the religious validity of any type of healing modality. Religion is a hot topic and all I meant to do in my last post was explain Reiki as it has been explained to me. I won't respond to a challenge because its all good. We see the same thing in different ways and its always an opportunity for learning when people don't see eye to eye.
I agree to disagree. Namaste.

Reiki is just a vehicle in the journey to oneness. If you want it to be a religious path make it so. One could also do the same with baseball.

Coopergrrl, I appreciate and honor the way you handled that post. I was hoping that this would not turn into a debate about religion vs spirituality.

Thanks and Namaste

With all due respect, Reiki is not a religion, nor do people worship it as such. There is no organized chappel, temple, synegogue or Church of Reiki. It is merely working with energy. It is metaphysical; it is spiritual. Again, with all due respect, you are not using the word religion in it's correct context.

PLEASE everyone, avoid turning this into a debate over religion. As always, keeping comments respectful is appreciated.
