Reiki trinkets!
Reader Anonymous sent me this throw pillow for sale in Cafepress by Healing Threads.
http://www.cafepress.com/healingthreads.51822903
The product description says: “Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen heals across space and time working on problems in past lives and across great distances.”
Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen, or 本者是正念, literally means “I have correct sense” or “I have true belief”.
Too bad, I did not find any pillow that says “I am a gullible tool”. At least they are not Quixtar, or are they?
Update: March 31, 2006 - I read something about Reiki from Skeptic's Dictionary:
"Reiki is very popular among New Age spiritualists, who are very fond of 'attunements,' 'harmonies,' and 'balances.' Reiki apprentice healers used to pay up to $10,000 to their masters to become masters themselves.
The price has come down and, according to one correspondent, 'prices for first level are around $100, second level $150-300 and master around $600-800.' The process involves going through several levels of attunement.
One must learn which symbols to use, when to call up the universal life force, how to heal an emotional or spiritual illness, and how to heal someone who isn't present."
Why does this sound so familiar to another trend called "Life Coaching"? At least the paying large sum of money part.
