Sending Reiki Without Permission - 2007/09/18 17:47
This seems to be a much-debated subject within the Reiki community.
Now I don't think there is a simple black and white answer--so let me offer a few scenarios, and let me know what you think of each:
1. In the case of babies, toddlers, or those who can't speak for themselves--do you feel permission is required? Do you feel that you should offer the treatment, and stop if there are obvious signs that the person is not being receptive or does not want it? Is a parent's or gaurdian's permission sufficient?
2. If an unexpected event happens, such as an accident, stroke, heart attack etc. and the person is unable to respond, do you feel it's ok to perform Reiki?
Another thing I've heard of is people asking the person's "higher voice" or something similar for an answer. I've also heard of people asking the Reiki to be directed towards, say, the earth, or an inanimate object, if the person does not need or wish to receive Reiki.
Opinions?
