btw I once went on a foo-foo girly retreat to a 'spa' (because that's the kind of girl I was with 15 years ago; never again :-) I went to 3 things, massage, yoga and reiki. I was
-flying- after coming out of reiki (and no I don't do drugs). Massage and yoga were mere experiences. I was astounded that the reiki did anything at all (I was thinking what a lot of hogwash, I can go to the session and tell everyone what a croc it is because it doesn't do anything). There was no touch and hardly any conversation during the session (so I'm ruling out hypnosis). There are probably a lot of reiki practictioners that are coasting along on the certification that do nothing for their clients.
Open mind or closed mind (and I'm not talking mysticism here, I am talking scientific method ;-)

Just so I'm not misunderstood here...I have no problem with Reiki. The people I've known who've been thru a Reiki session have said things similar to what you describe.
It's more the combination "Life Coach" + "Reiki Certification" that puts me on guard. But only, I should add, because I met a pair of these types while traveling. All I'll say is that I came to the conclusion pretty quick that I didn't want them coaching *my* life.
