Anyone into Reiki/crystals/manifesting?

[Kooks and Bay Bay]

I never was but in the past few years I've gotten into it.

I actually got more into it after once at Church (Catholic) the Priest was basically saying that praying and manifesting are the same thing.
Prior to that I had thought "manifesting" is "bad".

Even with that new realization I still never thought crystals had "power" yet I was fine with the thought that wearing a cross neckless or carrying a rosary, or saint pendant had "power".

So now I'm about to buy some crystal beaded jewelry.

And I'm just curious as to if anyone else was into that kind of thing?

These are three very different things. I don't practice reiki, but I do practice another form of energy work that is pretty similar. I don't do anything with manifesting. I have some crystals but I'm not sure I'm fully on board with them.

Yes I realize they are all different things but they are often used together.

I am a Reiki practitioner. I was first introduced to it 22 yrs ago when I was going through cancer treatment. I went to a support center that offered it and it helped with some pain issues I was having, so it made me a believer. I wanted to be able to offer it to my own patients so I went through the certification process. Realistically it’s a little hard for a nurse to do in a hospital with a busy assignment (as you need a fair amount of uninterrupted time), but on a few occasions I had enough time to offer it to some people when other things weren’t helping. Had a significant thing happen once during a session that was rather astonishing to both myself and the patient, and another time something very significant happened during a treatment that a volunteer was giving to a patient. (Not going to get into the details of those here.) So I believe there is definitely a spiritual component to it. It’s been practiced as a form of eastern medicine for thousands of years, and involves energy being transferred from the healer to the receiver. Don’t get me wrong, significant things don’t always happen with every session. But sometimes they do. Most receivers relax enough that things like pain and anxiety can be lessened. People should try it as a complementary therapy if they want to see what it’s like. Some people like to do it prior to surgery when they’re worried, and oftentimes they doze off. You can ask at the surgical place if there is a Reiki practitioner on hand.
