This thread has been open for a bit and I just read it today.
I have got to say that is an interesting idea.
I would have to disagree with the comments about not needing 'proof' of 'god' existing.
We all need varying degrees of verification to solidify our faith. We need some signs that we are devoting our lives to something real.
As humans we challenge things. This is how we come to broader understandings of the world around us.
Everyone seeks a sign at some point and sometimes we dont recognise them when they are provided.
I cant see any harm in your experiment since it is a way for you to obtain a piece of your puzzle that could lead to a change in the way you view the world and your life path. I hope you go into it without an ultimatum. Dont tell yourself you will not have faith if it doesnt work out . Dont make it the only source of seeking.
I am willing to bet that the plants you pray to, or give energy to will thrive. I have a few perspectives to offer once you get to that point. One step at a time.

Just to clairify something: Reiki is not a prayer nor a direction of energies from within the practicioner. The practicioner is merely a focal point or conduit for the healing energies that surround us. There is no intent from the practicioner other than to be the 'middle man' to access and focus these energies into the body of the person seeking healing.
We feel where the healing is most needed physically but the person seeking the healing is responsible for the energies once within them. A higher level of this person's being directs the energies with no conscious thought needed. There are specific hand placements and a strict order to follow to ensure release of negative stored energies and to return the flow to a normal state. Just had to clear that up. There are many misconceptions out there. Thanks.


peace.
