You can be macho and call others names all you wish to but I feel you are showing your youth, ignorance and maybe fear of growth or change but hey I am not you, you will have to work those things out for yourself.
Actually, I was speaking from experience and giving my opinion. As I said, I'm perfectly fine with what I've got. And I think that the fact fake reiki is just as effective as real reiki speaks for itself. No need to bring "foolishness", "youth", "ignorance" or "fear of growth" into the argument, guys

I need to ask this question. What is this topic to you? If you do not support reiki then why are you so concerned with it? If you think it does not work, or it is as effective as a sugar pill then why even concern yourself with this topic?
It seems a bit foolish to even look at a topic with the title of "reiki program" if you are not the slightest bit interested in learned about reiki, how to use it and so forth.
As it pertains to reiki's effectiveness it has worked very well for myself, my students (my 50+ reiki students to date) and many others. Now it is easy for me to say this because after all the only thing that has me posting the truth is my integrity and well who knows maybe i have poor integrity. We can say the same for you. Who knows if you really have reiki experance or if you are posting with integrity. Perhaps the person or people you went to were not even reiki masters and they simply lied to you about what the are.
However lets be honest here. If I did not support reiki, and its benefits then why in the world would I teach it? Why would I feel that it is so important that I charge enough just to cover my expenses so others could share in the benefit of reiki without spending loads of cash? Why would i offer to teach a online Reiki program if it was ineffective when i have so many other things I can be doing with my time?
Instead of acting like a pit bull on topics you either do not agree with others or understand fully why not just speak your peace and let it go. Honestly my friend all this back and forth with you has done nothing to advance this topic and several others.
One of the reason why people do not post on the forums or atleast start topics is because the number of people who just attack what the do not understand or agree with. Personally I would look forward to seeing your start ore topics that concern your thoughts of the jedi path, what you have done to better yourself on this path so forth and so on. Anyone can post to a topic that says i agree with this, or i disagree with that, however it is much harder to start a topic where you views are going to get slammed by others.
If you do not believe in the healing or spiritual benefits of Reiki then perhaps you can start a topic about how you attune yourself with the force and how you "use the force' in your on life. I for one would be very interested in reading the topic and i am sure othes will as well.
