I believe we can do Reiki for anything, but I do think weight loss should be part of lifestyle. If we live holistically we look after the whole being. So all parts are equally important. In fact, IMO, I believe poor lifestyle choices are barriers to Reiki. Therefore to me, Reiki is one part of living holistically.

Hi,

Successful (that is, safe and sustained) weightloss can only be achieved by lifestyle changes. Thats why calorie-counting on its own does not work for most overweight people long-term.
So I don't think you could advertise your services as a Reiki Practitioner specialising in weightloss, for example, unless your therapy specifically also addressed necessary lifestyle changes.

Having said that, there are really only two parts to losing weight successfully.
The spiritual/psychological side (this part helps people to review their own feeling and emotions and can help to change attitudes from negative to positive.
The physical "don't eat more than your body needs" side. Calorie-counting works well here, once the spiritual/psychological side has been addressed.

I don't see why any truly holistic therapy shouldn't work to help with the spiritual/psychological side of things, prior to embarking on a diet.

I agree with the above.

I don't think applying reiki treatments would make someone just lose weight as if by magic, with no effort on their part, but what it can do is help to change the underlying unhealthy emotions and attitudes people often hold towards food, their bodies and their diets, thus making the actual dieting and losing weight an easier process to go through.

Master attunement weight loss

I took my Master level attunement on June 4th - since then, I have lost 10 lbs. without trying. Although it still smells wonderful, I can't stand the feel of meat in my mouth (fish seems to be OK, though). The weight is still coming off. I put most of this weight on during a very stressful time in my life, so I'm guessing that this is part of the cleansing process.

My teacher and I joke about the "Reiki Master Diet". Anyone else have this happen to them?

(BTW, I am NOT complaining... 🙂 )
