For the Non-Believer

Guess what? Reiki works even if you don't believe in it. In other words, your beliefs will not impact the energy at all. The only thing that ever impacts Reiki energy is the Reiki healer's intent. For example, if my intent is to send energy to you, you can count on that, even if you don't necessarily believe it will work. Some Reiki healers won't send energy without the permission of the intended recipient. However, Reiki energy is positive energy that even if it were to come back to the healer, it would have no negative impact on that person. I've often sent healing energy to people I know who could use it without their consent with no negative impact for either one of us. Reiki energy is positive, healing energy that trumps any negative and/or non believers. Blessings!
