Reiki Level One

I’m a fifth level vegan, and only eat things that don’t cast a shadow.

i have obtained level 42 reiki – I now exist in metaphysical form only. I transcend dimensions and can control your legs. I am neither the future, past or present.

Does the same apply to those who believe in god?

Doubly so. At least reiki is a testable and falsifiable hypothesis. Invisible sky fairy nobody can see or hear until after they’re dead isn’t.

Once I graduate, Can I attune my certificate to my a$$ so every time I take a dump I can wave the paper past it and magically clean it without having to touch it ? Spritiual, hygenic and environmentally friendly, now thats wholistic !

lol@skidbladnir. (Damn, I just admitted to getting the joke.)

Jazz, my optinion is that the same does indeed apply.

Richard Dawkin’s latest doco “The Enemies of Reason” is well worth a look. It’s available in youtube sized chunks (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=enemies+of+reason&search_type=&aq=f), otherwise torrents are readily avaialble.

*Learn about Quantum Physics and DNA Activation and how this validates and supports Theta Healing as an immensely powerful tool.
*Find and change genetic pre-dispositions, such as poor eyesight, health, balding etc.

You mean I can learn quantum physics and cure my baldness all in 3 days? Sign me up…

I’m sure if the OP had advertised: “Learn the healing power of full body massage by a nubile young wench” there would be a number of us reaching for the chequebook.

Woody,

Does the same apply to those who believe in god? That is no more ‘proven’ than anything going on here.

I didn’t jump on it because it’s an ad. I jumped on it because I’m sick of living in a new Dark Age, where people believe in spirits and ghosts and mystical energies.

Want to put your beliefs out there? Fine. But we know from a previous thread that RiotACTers tend to be highly educated people, and we know from other research that such people tend to have a much lower threshold for tolerating this sort of cr.p.

If you believe this stuff, you’re delusional, stupid, or both. You lack even the tiny amount of intellectual rigour needed to think this through and wonder how you could objectively test whether it’s real or not.

We need to stop pussy-footing around these people. I don’t respect or tolerate their views and beliefs, because they’re lies. The planet and the species are collectively worse off because of them. They’re a drain on our social and intellectual capital. Get a clue, and embrace reality.

I’d just assumed that since the Level 2 and 3 courses allow you to do the Reiki at a distance by using symbols, it was non-contact.

So does doing Level 2 or 3 make your hand-on healing more powerful, or just let your cleric work the healings at distances of up to 2d6+3 meters?

This bloke walks into a bank with a balaclava on, pulls out a pistol and shouts “This is a stick up”. Everyone hits the floor and the bloke jumps the couter filling his bag with cash. As he leaves a brave customer jumps up and pulls the balaclava off. The roober shoots him in the head, pulls his balaclava back on and screams “Did anyone else see me” There is no response but the robber sees a bloke peering at him and shoots him as well. Again he screams “Did anyone else see me?” A small voice pipes up from behind the counter “Yeah mate, I think my wife saw you, the blonde crouching donw about 10 feet on your left I think”…..the moral of the story….the wife practiced Reiki.

Vive le difference, RB. Hell, I get up at 3am to watch football matches on the other side of the world, and drive hundreds of kilometres to pitch a tent at folk festivals, occasionally in the freezing cold, insufferable heat or teeming rain.

Whatever floats your boat. (I think it’s just human nature to have a chortle from time to time at another’s boat, to totally mangle a metaphor.)

Jazz, never read th egig notices.

He he.
Okay.
If you’re interested in doing the course, email me saying you saw the ad here and we can do it for free. What I do isn’t about the money, but about teaching. I charge money because I am the one who pays for the manuals to be printed, pays for the room that it hired and occasionally takes the day off work to teach this technique.

I once used a reiki when I had leaves on my lawni.

Superb!

But were you actually holding it or moving the leaves using the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional levels of being?

Nope – helping YOUR Mumsiwumsi with something…

😉

No, its not a paid one and we didn’t get anything for it. Riot has a very loose policy (which is being tightened up and published very very soon) as to what we’ll let run. Fairly obvious advertorials like this one and gig notices we’ll give a certain amount of leeway but if we feel that the forum is being abused we’ll insist that its taken as paid advertising.

Interesting that you dont seem to jump on gig notices with the same enthusiasm. Are they not also for profit enterprises?

Helping your Mumsiwumsi were you LOL!

Anyone interested in a Fen Shui workshop?

Are you? Tell us it is an ad, and we wont bag it as we avoid is like the plague.

How do you know we aren’t getting something for it?

Why can’t a duck be more laike a man?

SheepGroper said :

The good thing about ads like that being posted on RA is that the merits of the offering can be debated.

Agreed. So I need to slip in a ‘mea culpa’ above for using language like ‘faeries at the bottom of the garden/snake oil’ when I really meant was, ‘I’m extremely sensate and can’t sign up to much (not all) of anything that I can’t see, e.g. healing powers passing through the air’. Whereas when the lovely Inge or Heidi was massaging my feet and suggesting maybe some other things were up with me (which she pretty much nailed) under the banner of reflexology, I was two thumbs up, a gold star and an elephant stamp.

Vive le debate.

I’ve got nothing against the esoteric, or fantasmagorical even, but I don’t have to respect people who insist fantasy is reality just because they want it to be. Reiki is about healing by means of the healer’s ki pasing through the air into the patient. So according to this belief you can heal someone who is elsewhere.

Obviously, if this really worked then medecine would be revolutionised, with enough people trained in the magic then being poor would be no barrier to decent health. Instead, who knows how much money is being pissed away on rubbish like healing ki energy travelling through air?

The good thing about ads like that being posted on RA is that the merits of the offering can be debated.

ps Qwerky, People don’t hate things that are ‘esoteric’ so much as they hate people who run schemes veiled behind psuedo-science or religion designed to scam desperate or uneducated people of their money. I don’t think RealBasic would’ve got the same response if she had come to advertise a “sweet techniques for massaging” course, which is what it basically sounds like to me.

Agree with above, I think a parish notice about the singing workshop would be most appropriate here, and hopefully the “oh god I don’t want to read about this therefore it shouldn’t be here and now I’ll insult you a bit, scream rape if you insult me back and let’s have a fight” brigade wouldn’t show up. (some hope).

Which is why I shouldn’t post details about my weekend singing workshop with Rachel Hore in Sept here. However, if you’re curious, you can always email me..LOL (unless it sound suspiciously esoteric and EXPRESSIVE (heaven forbid!) to you..))

Which is why I was asking/musing above about what IS fair game to put in, but I’m no further illuminated.

Personally, I’m VERY interested in a Rachel Hore workshop (just sang one of her arrangements of an old classic at our club night this evening). Sure there’s a fee, but I may have been totally oblivious to this opportunity, and isn’t this about passing on info? Will email you for details.

For mine, that’s of more value than the god-almighty game of ‘Push-me/Shove-you/Come-over-here-and-say-that-and-I’ll-smash-your-teeth-out/Make-me/He-started-it/No-he-called-me-a-crybaby-first’ f%$#ing stupidity that’s going on in another thread.

At least they didn’t disguise it in a “what reiki schools are the best” post or some tripe like that.

Actually had a look at the website, it looks pretty amateurish with no indication on prices which can’t be good.

I wonder about why anyone in their right mind would promote anything remotely esoteric in the right brain, testosterone laden environment of the aptly named Riot Act unless they want to sit back and enjoy the flames that flare up from the spark they blew on. I’ve had Reiki and it’s very relaxing, and I’ve also done a course, but I wouldn’t dream of sharing what I experienced on here. Suffice to say, it’s nothing like reflexology or Scientology. I wonder if there would have been the inevitably scornful and belligerent reaction if the course advertised had been anything other than esoteric in nature? However, I agree that if something is being promoted where participants have to pay a fee, then RA is not the place for it.

I think they’re working with the Scientologists…

I heard that joke before. Does anyone know about that?

Was it a Level One duck?

What colour was its aura?

I saw a duck once, does anybody else know anything about that ?

Reiki

You misspelled ‘retard’.

C’mon mods – what’s the go? If you don’t have the time, choose some more mods to help you…

Some of the stuff that’s appeared here lately is more worthy of general chat forums, not a news oriented web site.

Whoa, I apparently quoted too much from another post! Forget the bit about the kids, please…

Reiki is a holistic, energetic hands-on healing method that benefits humans and animals alike.

I have a guaranteed energetic hands-on method that stopped my dogs from crapping on my carpet. I can sell you it for 10 cents each. Just don’t tell the RSPCA.

A CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED UPON COMPLETION OF THIS COURSE.

LOL! I bet they wish they advertised somewhere else now!

This Reiki guff sounds like Scientology rebranded.

Why isnt this stuff filtered?

Pesty said :

thats just bloody blatent advertising! Can I advertise my business for free too?

It raises a question about where the line is, or should be. I’ve predominantly advertised gigs here, mostly for a not for profit community group (Monaro Folk Society) but also a couple of out and out ads on behalf of two musos. (No commission/reward for me except maybe my comp ticket, and on one occasion I was MC so would have been in free anyway. Plus, I use about seven or nine other web-sites as well, so you couldn’t say my use of Riot ACT returned me the equivalent of $12/$25/$35 worth of admission.)

No bucks for me, is what I’m trying to say.

Bottom line: if an Overlord said, ‘No more gig notices; this is for newsworthy items only’, of course I’d comply. But currently it seems to be open slather-ish, albeit the witch doctors and spin merchants open themselves up to get flamed.

For the record, I think Reiki is a crock of snake oil garbage practised by the faeries at the bottom of my garden. Rexflexology I tried once and valued, but that was full contact from a very nice and engaging young fraulein.

Nope, Reiki is entirely non-contact.
So I think they just molest their aura.

The hands on part has got me worried! 🙂

PS: Can you moderators, for the protection of your brand, and the love of ethics, bring in a commonsense “Is this news?” check?

Tree hugging hippy sh!t!

This is why RiotAct has been going downhill. They seem to let any old crap through these days.

I should know, they let me post after all.

It is alway good to support initiatives that separate gullible people from their money.

Ditto on the advertising goods and services for sale = paid ad. That might hurt the gig adverts if they can’t post for free, but isn’t that what the Friday DIY is for?

Is it time to RiotACT to introduce a 20 post minimum before spammers can flog their wares here

Great, now they’re spamming here too.

RealBasic, here’s a tip. Instead of spamming advertisements to get more suckers… er… customers, maybe you should offer a product or service that is worth paying for, instead of the snake oil and woo-woo nonsense you’re pedalling now.

This crap should only be on RA as a paid for ad.
