    I was really in the rabbit hole of “natural healing” in the 90s, I did it all, Reiki, reflexology, iridoligy, massage, pranic healing. The healing fairs were all either well meaning idiots or grifters, the grifters were the ones making the money by selecting a mark, following them around and listening before passing them off to the healer with a list of “hot reads” who would suddenly know far more about their ailments than that should have. The sell was then either courses where you learn to ‘heal’ and get massive insight into people or ‘healing’ sessions to cure you.

    Oh good. I’m going there in March.

    On the other hand, no one has been able to diagnose what’s wrong with me for a year now, so they’re kind of my last hope.

    Seriously? Reiki isn’t even pseudoscientific it’s just pseudo.
