Has anyone tried it and what are your thoughts?

Has anyone tried it and what are your thoughts?

Yes, I have but the person who did it wasn't all about the spirit/pysch alignment. They also did more of a pressure point/acupunture treatment. That is what worked for me. So reiki proper? I guess I never have and I know a few people who offer it. It can border into quack territory pretty quickly. Trust but verify.

What the heck is it?

It's a form of energy healing that's light hands on or just above the body. It's used to promote physical and emotional healing of the body.

Here's a good description of what Reiki is:

I was told I should look into energy healing as part of my "repetoire"

I am looking at it from the spiritual connection aspect of healing as opposed to tried and true CBT,DBT, etc.

A lot of evidence supports mindfulness in adjunct therapy for mental health but interested in other peoples thoughts on Reiki specifically.

It all depends on the practitioner, imo.

It can work, to be sure.

Reiki is nice because it can work for any religion or spiritual practice. You can get a lot of information from the link I posted above, if you click through all the headings.
