Thougts on ReiKi., i went to the course, more will follow.. Options

I was thikning of going to a ReiKi class this weekend, apparently it takes all weekend is the 1st stage of 3.

But... is it worth it? I've heard alot about ReiKi and it's all good, but is it biased?
Also it costs a hell of a lot, very expensive indeed!

Any thoughts, is it worth the money?
Is it something i can do with just a simple ritual (Middle Pillar anyone?) or is it really helpfull indeed even for those that do rituals on a weekly basis (or whatever)

Thankfull for all replies.

Now while you write, here's popy: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mf_popeanim.gif)

In yoga they have a similar technique known as 'locking.'

The Mulabhanda and so on? I only mention that one becuase its seemingly the most important as I can make out.

Self studying is very rewarding I feel. You can read all the books about the topic, but if you read one or two about it you'll have read em all.

I especially like this. Myself though, I seem to find myself searching for test subjects when I want to try something new. Sometimes things seem to come on thier own, and have very good effects when used in healing.
Most recently, I have been using something that works as much as a pick me up and lifting someones mood. And I'm still working on developing it, or more hoping further insight will come.

Is it alright to stretch the topic? I may have gone to far off the original Reiki subject.
