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.

Being a practioner of Tai Chi and Qigong, I'd have to say all exercises pertaining to the development and flow of your life energy is benificial, and in my experience building up chi before casting of any sort seems to help greatly, before and after- before to build up the power for it, and after to replenish. As far as ReiKi in particular, I don't have any personal experience with it, but again I would THINK (notice emphasis on think) that being that it is also a practice concerning the same power it would be greatly beneficial to you. I would SUGGEST (notice again the emphasis on suggest) that you choose the path you have the most resources for, but as it will probably be a lifetime thing, I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to find more resources for whatever you choose...(ie, I chose Tai Chi and Qigong, because a) classes locally were available, b) my dad and his best friend had studied Qigong and he had consequently collected lots of resources for both it, Tai Chi, and other Internal Chinese Arts c) I knew I had enough information to develop over the whole of my lifetime.)
I hope this was at all helpful....
