Hi, I have a brother who also got involved in reiki, however with his mental illness it did not do him any good. Because of his Delusional Disorder he believes that people around him are using reiki to have him do things that he normally wouldn't do. He says that I am giving him signals ..he calls them something..but I don't know what they mean. He feels everyone around him giving him thes reiki signals. So exhausting, I wish I can bring him back, I love him so dearly and he thinks I'm out to harm him. Anyway, for those of you who may be experiencing the same thing, no matter what your friends and family love you and even though we say we understand and really haven't been there, we do understand that the mind is a powerful thing and sometimes it gets sick and it needs medication and help to get better. I'll stand by my brother allt he way, even though he avoids my calls and brushes me off. As he gets better I know the true him will come back.
