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)

Well, here goes, i don't know how much or what i'll write yet but i guess i'll find out as i go along.

It was a weekend, 8 hour on saturday and 8 on sunday.

I won't go into detail about the chitchat we had because i already knew most of it and it seemed a bit dragged out just to fill the void between the "initiations".

There had to be 4 initiations and it was based on a chakra system.

this is the only picture i could find with a quick google search, not a very good one, but it's the system it was based on it seems:

the basis of the 4 initiations was that you bound together several charkas.

the top one of your head and the one in your groin ;D

and then downwards so, second most upper one and second most lower one goes together as the next pair and so on until the 4th which was the hearth chakra which was alone.

She never did tell us exactly what she did because it was a secret etc etc but she started with the heart chakra and moved herself outwards throughout the initiations and did some sort of energy raising, i'm not sure how or what tho.
She also pressed on your fingertips and palms and pressed energy through it, i'm not sure how on that part either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Anyways, it's not as detailed as i wished and i guess i'll never know fully either as i won't go through to be a reiki master but it was interesting for sure.

I have ended up with this feeling in the palm of my hands tho that they become incredibly warm whenever i pass through 'healing energy' through them and it seems to really help, but meh, who knows? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Anyways, that's about it i guess, if anyone wants some more info on this i'd be happy to share what i know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wizard.gif)
