Had to be bogus. Well the just 2 days part actually is. Because it doesn't work that way.
Reiki uses focus of the mind to call energy into the palm of your hands. And how is that done? Extremely simply to my utter surprise. By just asking these energies to appear.
Since they are present all around you, all the time, they do not take long in manifesting themselves. It requires that kind of focus and that kind of deliberate awareness in the beginning to feel it in your palms. Gradually, though, when you have practiced enough, it comes to you even more quickly.
Thats where the catch is. Nothing of this sort is learnt in 2 days. It takes a very long time and long hours of practice to reach that level where you'd be amazed at what reiki can do. I myself am only beginning to understand it.
The science requires thorough understanding of the chakras in the human body, disorders of the human body, and human emotions. And that energy that you feel in your palms..can actually 'heal'.
I haven't healed anybody yet. But I have felt the energy between my palms, and thus, have no doubts about its potential.
Lots of people have said lots of wise words about all the cosmos being yours if you chose to have it, or, there being some part of God in every one, or even something as simple as the power of prayer healing and making wishes come true. And by God, I have started believing in all this. I am quite surprised at myself.
All those who know me, know I have anger issues, it arrives real quickly.
One of the tenets to be followed when practicing reiki is to take an oath every single day of never allowing yourself to be angry.
Believe it or not, I am trying :)
