Hello Karen,

I have a question about Space Clearning. My daughter recently moved into a home where the previous couple living there divorced. She asked my sister to help clear the space in her bedroom with something that sounded like "Raike" - pronounced "Ray-Kee". What exactly is this procedure and is it part of feng shui?

Thanks if you have time to answer this.

Karen's reply:

It's called Reiki. It's esentially a healing technique that some Reiki teachers are now attempting to adapt for use in buildings.

I have been into homes that are supposed to have 'space cleared' using Reiki and found that the walls are still very thick with stuck energy. The technique doesn't seem to have any effect at all but most people don't have the level of energy discernment to know this.
