So...I ordered some beauty products based on a book's recommendation.   Really I just ordered some samples--cleanser, toner, moisturizer, etc. I love them. They are great and the ingredients are totally natural. I happened to read on the info. sheet that these products are, "Reiki-energized." I don't know a lot about reiki, but I do know that I would never seek such a thing for healing. I know it's, "New Agey" and people seek so-called Reiki masters for healing.

My question is, do I chuck them and forget about it because of a possible weird spiritual connection? Or, do I use the products--because they are really great, mind you-- and ignore the Reiki part of it?

Here is the link to the website...which looks a little weird...but check out the online store and tell me what you think.

Thanks ladies,
DeAnn

Don't ignore the Reiki connection it is occultic. Reiki-energized is really a nice name for occultic powers of some sort. My suggestion is send the products back or better still, throw them in the bin.

Upon reading the info from the link, I really recognise that flowery health language as a poor disguise for acknowledging a false god (which is really the devil in disguise) words like:

"Simply Divine Botanicals"

"The name of the line comes from the happenstance that made a dream of creating pure potions into a reality beyond scientific imagination."

"One night in an act of Divine Intervention"

"In loving service to the Light, Barbara."

Yep...that's what I was looking for. I don't want to freak out about every little New Age reference when it comes to, "natural" products; but at the same time I don't want to bring something into my house that has connections to the occult.

Thanks so much.
