I think Reiki can be hit and miss. I do believe that there are some practitioners out there who really know their shit and can rock your world in a session.
But…I also think that there are some people out there who either don’t believe it themselves and are just doing it for the money…and even some who believe, but just aren’t strong enough of a person to be practicing.
I myself have rheumatoid arthritis in my spine…it’s called Ankylosing Spondilitis and I have been struggling with for about 15 years now.
I have tried just about everything you could think of…lol…medication, massage, Reiki, acupuncture, yoga, meditation, diet, etc. etc.
I do not have PTSD, but I am prone to anxiety (which for me causes migraines but I am otherwise functional), and depression…I have struggled with depression since I was a teenager.
Of course, the constant pain in my back causes me to be depressed too.
I have been a scrub nurse first-assist in open heart surgeries for over 15 years…probably one of the most stressful jobs I can think of…lol.
But recently my back has been worse…I am considering applying for Disability…I know I can get it fairly easily.
Weed is helpful…but one cannot just walk around stoned all the time. At one point I was prescribed enough narcotics to kill an elephant and let me just say that coming off that shit blows.
