Reiki Permission

· There are two opposing viewpoints on sending distant treatments:

· No permission is necessary. Since Reiki can never do any harm, there is nothing wrong with sending Reiki energy without the person's consent or even knowledge. Reiki will not work if the person rejects the energy, so if the energy is received and it benefits the person, the energy has been accepted at some level.

· Only send Reiki if asked or consent is given. It is the person's right to refuse the energy for whatever reasons s/he may have. Everyone living has certain lessons they must learn if they are to progress. Perhaps some individuals need to learn when, or from whom, to ask for help. The Reiki energy can benefit the individual even if consciously rejected. It is the person's conscious decisions which must be respected, as this is who is faced with life's lessons.
