Does distance Reiki even make sense?I've heard every single one of these, and in this episode I'm rapid firing through the biggest Reiki myths and misconceptions one by one. No holding back. As someone who used to believe a lot of these myself, I'm uniquely placed to break them down with both science and compassion, including the ones that are rooted in anti-Asian prejudice and the history of Reiki's journey to the West during World War II.This is the episode to send to anyone who's still on the fence.In this episode:Is Reiki demonic or sinful?
