A friend today mentioned that she has undergone this process. It was carried out by another friend of hers, who is more involved with the organisation promoting the process. My friend is an intelligent and sensible woman, and the other woman is a well meaning and charismatic dingbat. She used sensitive information about a bereavement to add to the impact of what she was doing (in reality as far as I can tell waving her hands in the air).
I thought it was just some reiki type thing, but having looked it up it looks suspect. Does anyone know more about it?
