  • "Does anyone ever go in for a treatment and get told "actually, your energy is all hunky-dory, please keep your £30"?"

    LOL! No, and no-one ever goes to a podiatrist and gets told "no..it's fine, you don't need to spend £100 on insoles" ;-)
  • Did anyone hear the "pet medium" on the Scott Mills podcast the other day ?
  • Only £100 - mine were double that but the place I went does tell people that they don't need them. That's a different arguement.

    p.s. 2D mind how you pet your dogs...you may either be giving or removing energy without your knowledge!!
  • Regardless of the arguments, I'm a firm believer and as I've said, even if it only makes you feel better in yourself (which it always does) then surely this is no bad thing. Many people believe in a God - can this belief be proved? No. The earth was once regarded as flat. The sun was once thought to be a chariot. Darwin changed the whole way we look at evolution. Things change and move on. Human nature dictates that new avenues and methods of treatment are explored, alright 'new' in this sense is probably the wrong word - perhaps enlightened is more accurate. Because we are conditioned by science to pop this pill, or take this medicine, we close our minds to other options. Indeed, science is now investigating medicinal properties of plants and looking at indiginous cures for ailments - apparently crocodile saliva has very many healing properties that can be isolated (and that's true), so things that may seem beyond the bounds of reason or science should not be ridiculed or disapproved of just because they don't conform to the norm.
  • Sezz,
    i'd be happy to admit something worked if i knew it actually had. Just as i would love to see a ghost and think there really could be an afterlife but as i said before 'it ain't gonna happen'
  • I can't stand Scott Mills.

    Surely you only download:
    Ironmantalk
    Competators Radio
    McMillan Running
    Tri Talk
    etc
    etc
  • Larass - I've no dubts in chemicals and plants...but waving your hands over someone?
  • lardy..so scientists have discovered crocodile saliva has healing properties...doesn't that just prove my point, it wasn't an astrologer or homeopathic consultant who fouond out was it?
  • Lardass, there's nothing new in science investigating medicinal properties of plants etc...where do you think Aspirin comes from? (willow bark I think).

    I disagree that things that are beyond the bounds or reason or science shouldn't be ridiculed....like it or not, our bodies and minds are bound by the laws of physics. Until the proponents of these alternative therapies can show, in peer reviewed high quality tests, that the claims are real, I will continue to ridicule the outlandish claims made. The same goes for people who believe in God...simply saying "you can't prove it doesn't exist" is not proof that it does.
  • aargh proving a negative...the worst arguement!
  • Ironmantalk,
    Podrunner
    Fitmix
    Zen and the art of Triathlon (not heard it yet though)

    I did hear your question on Ironmantalk though - v interessssting.
  • I'm not a massive believer in alternative therapies but a while ago when I was suffering with horrendous depression and eating disorders I found that regular indian head massage and reiki helped enormously. Whether this was because it was nice to have some attention at such a tricky stage in my life, no idea, but I do know that it helped and I always felt more energised, better and stronger afterwards. If it helps, it helps, don't knock it just because you don't believe in it - you never know when you might need to resort to something 'alternative'.
  • quote - 'like it or not, our bodies and minds are bound by the laws of physics'

    Quantum physics has proved that particles can time travel and that they can be in two places at the same time. Quantum physics also alludes to the fact that there are different planes of existance. This seems beyond the bounds of reason to most people.

    Anyway, I believe it and that's what counts at the end of the day. It helped us achieve what 'science' had written off as an impossibility.
  • 'it helped us achieve what science had written off'.....is that in the same sense that Uri Geller supposedly helped an Italian football team to win a football league. Would the players themselves not have had a lot to do with it? Nothing to do with this i know but it was interesting that as Chairman of Exeter City he couldn't work his magic to stop them dropping out of the football league. Funnily enough he never mentions that
  • I don't object to people believing in "alternative therapies", but I strongly object to my taxes being used to fund it.
  • ZT - specialists had said (although I won't go into the details of why) that we had no chance of having children - even with IVF.
  • the self-healing abilities of life on this planet is pretty remarkable, you know. You don't need to invent mumbo-jumbo to justify it.
  • blimey lots of posts on this since last night.

    I am v. sceptical person on such therapies and had to have it proved to me beyond my doubt that Reiki works before I became involved in it to any degree.

    However, I totally appreciate people thinking its b*llox as I did until I had treatments. The thing is though I don't care what other people think and would never try to change their view. I don't think people should be ridiculed for believing that a non invasive, relaxing therapy can help them, as much as I don't believe people should be ridiculed for thinking its all a load of "mumbo jumbo".

    I was offering to send Reiki to Martin as he had an interest in it - Martin, do let us know how you get on!

    (ps it does work you know).
    T2x



  • Well I have to say that I am also highly sceptical about all of this.



    <hopes that Sezz will fall into his carefully laid trap and offer a free session>
  • SezzSezz ✭✭✭
    DavidB, would you like a free session?
  • Now that's what I call a top of the page :-)

    Do I get to choose between a foot-job and a head-job? It's just that I've been having a lot of trouble with my hands recently.
  • Twig 2, could you explain how reiki can work via email (or post or however you plan to send it)? I really would genuinely like to hear.
  • I'm assuming its along the same lines as prayers and things.
  • TwoDogs, having read your previous posts I am a little sceptical about lining myself up to be shot down in flames by you! I am not going to get drawn into a public argument about what I believe/what you disbelieve, its not productive!
    google reiki distance healing and you will have your explanation. If you'd like reiki sent to you p.m. me and I will take some details from you and add you to my list.

  • Does one have to believe in something to be cured by it?
    I'm confused too..I don't have anything that needs curing, so I don't understand what "adding me to your list" will do.

    I really do want to know how this is supposed to work.
  • twig, let u know the outcome, hope to go monday. just done the physio bit, needles from the acupunture really get me going when it hits the target. no pain no gain. reiki wont be like that will it???
  • According to the UK Reiki Federation:

    "The practitioner places their hands gently, in a series of positions, on or over the body. The client's system automatically draws in only as much Reiki as is needed, using it in whatever way is most appropriate at the time"

    how can you do this remotely, Twig2? Or is what you're claiming not reiki?
  • I've got some magic beans, if anyone's interested...
  • seems you can reiki outcomes too

    Therefore can you reiki a peaceful conclusion to the middle east conflits that are ongoing please.

    I'll be watching channel4 news later..
  • Martin...none of my business really, but I would have thought that if you've been going to the same physio for this long and are not getting better, maybe try a different physio?
