    I have just come home from a session of Reiki - very emotional and draining. She talked alot about my Mum being there and being happy and out of pain etc but I am a bit sceptical. The thing is you want to believe it but because I know she has said similar things to my friend who has also lost her Mum, I don't know whther it is true or not.

    I am finding the tea towel thing funny too!

    Oh dear Tenmah. Maybe you should just say enough is enough and look elsewhere for them?

    I've just realised Glasto tickets go on sale tomorrow and I'm not registered. I've just done it but it takes up to 48 hours for the picture to be approved, so chances are tickets will sell out before I can get one :( I'd really wanted to go next year.

    Tenmah, I didn't think Reiki was supposed to do that? I thought it was just a body healing thing. Also, if you were charged that's dodgy - it's supposed to be people using their gift to help others. I'd contact the Reiki society/association (can't remember which it is) to check up on the practitioner.

    Evening!

    Beanie, there's one specific antibiotic you really mustn't drink with but I can't remember what it is called. I think it begins with M though. Linda would probably know.

    No she didn't charge, first session is free. She did do the healing thing as well but I couldn't relax because I kept waiting for her to say more things about my Mum, and started crying each time she did!

    Tenmah, I have a friend trained in Reiki, I'll be seeing her on Monday and I'll ask her if that's how it works, it sounds really dodgy to me.

    Well, wonders will never cease, I've just had a civil fb message from my ex.

    The second one does begin with m Snaggs.
    HOws life hun?

    Tenmah~I am trained in reiki & that is not part of reiki at all.
    She must do it as an add on.
    Not a good idea IMHO to do both at the same session.

    Beanie, how are you travelling, would you be able to bring plenty of wine back with you?
