Gosh I really had to think- it's been many years.

Well, my mama used Reiki for a while - we had a family friend who was a practitioner and also did acupuncture as well, so in conjunction with both she was 'treating' the pain and illness from ovarian cancer and hysterectomy.

As far as she was aware it really helped. You can definitely feel something when they do it- the warmth or energy during the session. But I don't know how or if it works per se.

It definitely seemed good for my mother 🙂

I am doing it tomorrow I am so nervous. Did your mom have to rest big time after doing it a co worker of mine says it wipes her out

Ohhh I'm not sure. It depends on what it is for and the person practicing I think 😕

When we went, there was a lovely meditation room set up and I do remember that before and after sessions mama would meditate and have a nice herbal tea.

Perhaps she was wiped out - maybe it is normal and that's why the visit included a resting period...
