Look what I found on Facebook:
Learn how to offer the healing energy of Reiki to yourself, people, and animals while enhancing your animal connection skills!
From daily support for health or challenges during times of crisis, Reiki helps restore balance on physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental levels for all living beings, enabling the body to do what it does best—heal itself. These benefits extend to other people, animals, trees/plants, and self-healing.
Reiki offers so many benefits for animals and for their human caregivers that I call it the gift that keeps on giving!
Reiki also enables students to connect and communicate more deeply with animals. If you think animals like you now, wait until they discover you’ve got Reiki—you’ll become an animal magnet!
For 25+ years Reiki has blessed me, my animal companions, students, and as a teacher I love sharing those benefits with as many people and animals as possible.
AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE
For many years I’ve taught a LIVE personally-mentored 6-week audio class where students learn all the basic skills needed by a beginning Reiki practitioner in addition to foundational principles of energy healing. And you don’t even need to leave the comfort of your home!
TAKEN REIKI BEFORE but don’t feel confident? Students who have retaken Reiki with me share that the weekly calls, opportunities to practice, online community, and opportunity to ask questions and receive guidance have helped them make Reiki a part of their daily lives and feel confident in offering it to loved ones.

This seems like a good little earner to me!
Congratulations to whoever invented it.
Yet I do feel that something has been forgotten:
the evidence.
If you search for Reiki on Pubmed, you find a baffling array of papers many of which arrive at positive conclusions. If you then check out the primary studies, you realize that most of them are of extremely poor quality, published by members of the Reiki cult (often in 3rd class journals for the nursing professions). If you search for independent systematic reviews that adequately account for the quality of the primary studies, you discover that, in fact, the evidence does not support the notion that Reiki is effective for anything. Here are a few examples:
- There is insufficient evidence to say whether or not Reiki is useful for people over 16 years of age with anxiety or depression or both.
- The serious methodological and reporting limitations of limited existing Reiki studies preclude a definitive conclusion on its effectiveness.
- In total, the trial data for any one condition are scarce and independent replications are not available for each condition. Most trials suffered from methodological flaws such as small sample size, inadequate study design and poor reporting.
And what about Reiki for animals?
As far as I can see, there is no good evidence at all.
So, does this render the above and similar courses fraudulent?
I let you answer this question for yourselves.

Interesting picture of a battle of wits between the reiki lady and a goat – and the goat appears to be winning.
I mean, Strange Woman I Live With regularly accuses our 2 cats of being able to understand English, but at least I know she is taking the piss…
She also coined the term “shi-katsu” for the regular shreddings the little dears inflict with their claws…
Even my daft tom isn’t daft enough to believe in chakras, unless they are tuna or salmon flavoured…
sounds like a cat-astrophe to me. I wonder if she was surprised as the cat got on the table by way of a ladder that it pulled out of a top hat that is was fortuitously carrying due to a high chance of rain. Next up was a verbose Narwhal called Henry fluent in woo who wouldn’t get on the table due to a fear of heights. I am 100% certain that I’m making more sense than either Rose or Shaman whilst I am currently holding my head in my hands wondering where it all went wrong for some of my fellow human beings. To be fair I do like the sound of a talking cat.
Move over Shaman the cat. Annie the goat wants a piece of your pie.
Goat Yoga, anyone? https://goatyoga.net/goat-therapy-animal-assisted-therapy/
lol. I love goats but they can be extremely aggressive. Just ask Ralph Ineson
seriously though
re “animal ahamanism” and “animal therapy”, this is the film that kickstarted the careers of many vile exploiters and charlatans. The parents in the film may be well meaning, good people but “animal therapy” and “equine therapy” is an oft used MO for some very, very ruthless grifters.

Probably not as good as your revenue from your SCAM publications! Something for everyone here….
do you really think I earn money with this blog?
or my books?
here is the truth:
the blog costs me money
and as for the books; if I did the paper rounds, I would earn more!
I’m sorry to hear that
You deserve greater reward and recognition for your important work
Unfortunately grifting does pay and activism, by its nature, tends to involve self-sacrifice and lots of unpaid work
no need to be sorry!
if I wanted to get rich by writing, I could easily write books with titles:
HOMEOPATHY, THE MEDICINE OF THE FUTURE
or
LIVE A LONG AND HEALTHY LIFE WITH THE POWER OF CTYSTALS
LOL
Sad but true
Her website is hilarious. It includes a video in which she talks about her friendships with “stone people”, by which she means pebbles, rocks and stones. She does at some point mention that diamonds are stones too. I can imagine how some people feel attached to expensive sparkly rocks but it does all seem rather sad.
video here

Her book on amazon here
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tails-Healer-Animals-Reiki-Shamanism-ebook/dp/B001KVYZ9K/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3PRFZSNF5DTIM&keywords=%22rose+de+dan%22&qid=1659170235&sprefix=rose+de+dan+%2Caps%2C94&sr=8-4
has a “look inside” option which demonstrates some of her influences, who include the notorious new age grifter
Alberto Villoldo. Anyone interested in researching Villoldo further can use the thread on the excellent website below as a starting board
http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=615.0
Villodo has been very active in the UK and even featured at the centre for new age grift, Alternatives at St James’s Church, Piccadilly, London.
Here he is. Just cringe. His various fraudulent trainings have launched the career of many a grifter and real indigenous tribal people despise him for obvious reasons.

This is terrible, all these fraudsters. You can tell a real shaman a mile off…

No, wait…
lol
I’ll see your shaman John and raise you this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSjfO-UZYuk
You can really feel the authenticity in the below video where he removes bad energy from a minor celebrity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6pzXDndP6g
He’s been endorsed by Gwyneth, Oprha and everything so he’s obviously the real deal!
This cardiologist has a beef with him but he’s obviously just jealous of his super shaman skills and his ability to detect imprints in women’s vaginas.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duW3Jr3E4NI
Ridiculous. It’s nonsense to claim there are negative imprints in the vagina. It’s a pity Jacquie Stallone is no longer with us, because I’m sure she could detect things by rumpology. 🤣
Of course it is ridiculous, it is however a widespread belief, highly prevalent in rape and sexual abuse charities where it can detected by claims that “the body remembers what the mid cannot” and other such bullshit.
An example here, there are many more

Re the same charity also see;
What is sexual abuse?
Ritualised Abuse – The term ritual abuse is generally used to mean repeated, extreme, sadistic abuse, especially of children, within a group setting. The group often has an ideology of some kind which is used to justify the abuse, and the abusive rituals in turn are used to reinforce its ideology. Physical abuse can occur as beatings, torture, cutting, confinement, forced ingestion of drugs or bodily fluids. Emotional abuse involves trickery, deceit, emotional manipulation, mind control, and blaming the victim. Sexual abuse is sadistic and may involve anal, oral or vaginal penetration, even of extremely young children. Spiritual abuse manifests itself as reversal of good and evil, a destruction-based morality, and the denial of autonomy and freedom of thought.These activities are kept secret from society at large because they violate society’s norms.

Of course some cults do abuse people in a ritualistic way
A good example is the array of “body psychotherapists” who claim to be able to remove imprints / hooks / invisible entities from vaginas via massage, yoga and assorted charlatanry. These are the same dangerous quacks who are influencing the above insanity via rape and sexual abuse charities.
Horrific and appalling.
Some do and many cannot .Think of the way that a physicist works with Matter and Energy and believe it or not there is a similarity for the minority who do have an understanding as to how to work with what is incorrectly described as Reiki.
The majority all fail when tested.
By “the majority” you presumably mean “all”, Len?
