Being the skeptical fellow that I am, I've never given reiki much credit as the theory isn't based on any type of accepted science. I am, however, curious to try it since I can't really write it off unless I give it a fair shot. So I was wondering if any of my fellow tokers have recieved/given reiki, and what your opinions of the experience was.

I did try it once about 4 years ago, and it did wonders to relieve my back and neck pain for about 3-4 days after the session. I still remain a bit skeptical though since it was only a one-time trial and I do get occasional periods of remission where I'm like 80% better for a few days for no reason (I get this maybe 1-2 times as year).
I'm also a strong believer in the healing abilities of the placebo effect. That is, the brain can be rewired to mimic the result of what your brain thinks should happen.

Still, I'm absolutely open now to giving this a chance, so has anybody tried it?
