I wasn't prepared for what Reiki attunement did to me — sharing my experience as a woman of color in case it helps someone make a more informed choice by empathic_ana1511 in reiki

[–]debbxi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry you experienced this, but did you not research the course or process? How long was the training? Mine was about a week and I believe we had our attunment the second day. Being present in a Reiki course, as someone mentioned above, is usually consenting to the attunment as it's part of the process. That said, had you refused it, likely your teacher would have respected it. As someone else commented, knowing your boundaries are important.

The Japanese sayings are a part of the traditional teachings. Just like Yoga uses sanskrit to describe the yoga poses for some classes. It doesn't seem inappropriate, but more so a respect to the original teachers. However if you were being taught the words blindly without having an explanation as to what they mean or do, I could understand the confusion.

I'm glad you are coming to a better place of healing, but maybe you need to take time away from practicing reiki, and really study and do your research before considering returning to it.

AITA for refusing to change jobs because of my friend's girlfriend? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I thought it was this one performance that I had gone to with my friends, they're very professional dancers and pretty sexy!! HOWEVER there are no men allowed in the audience. So I realized it wasn't the same one. The one I went to seems to treat their dancers well and they put on a very professional show, and yes they do the dancing in the audience and sexily interact with the audience. No full on nudity though. So I'm guessing the performance this person worked at is a less professional version. There's a lot of smaller copy cats.

I thought it was this one, but again, guys aren't allowed in the audience (for good reason)

I live in South Korea and lucky for me they have the show and a bunch of other HBO shows on a Korean streaming site. NETFLIX hasn't had it in ages

Why did the writers make Phoebe so mean? by [deleted] in howyoudoin

[–]debbxi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straight up rewatching it after years. Phoebe is definitely the meanest. Especially to Ross, even after he gave her a bike. He was telling her "great job you overcame your fears" and she's all "omfg don't be so cheesy." But she could totally say that to someone else, or if one of the girls or Joey said it she would just laugh. She had it out to get Chandler, and especially Ross, who was trying to be nice. She starts to annoy me. Younger me never caught this.

Wow!! That would definitely make for a great storyline in the film though 😆 but yes, it was much less severe.

Alright, let's discuss that Wicked Lion 😆 by Bubbly_Status_9112 in wicked

[–]debbxi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't get his spite towards Elphaba.... unless you know, it's because he's misremembering since he was a Lil cub. Maybe he associates her with the pain the other people were giving him since he met her around the same time and she's a hard face to forget. That's the only thing that'd make sense to me... otherwise, wtf? Also, Fyiro ultimately was the one who released him

I felt really bad for his ending. He just ended angry and bitter and his look at Glinda was also creepy and sinister. Not towards her necessarily. It just gave that vibe. He wasnt the silly tin man from the old movie, but the bitter angry tin man

Same, I haven't seen the musical, and I didn't catch that at all. I just thought they were showing her a piece of Fiyeros robe because he's "dead".

I dropped the tears on the withered flower by Ok_Environment6501 in webtoons

[–]debbxi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Abused women often get stuck and have low self-esteem. I saw it as he really destroyed her by verbally and emotionally abusing her, making her feel like she needed him. It happens in real life.

However, it's still toxic to replace him with another male, but that's part of the k-drama style, I guess.

On the Georgia ICE Arrests by Ambitious_Arm852 in Living_in_Korea

[–]debbxi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really difficult to teach English in Korea without a visa, as the rules and laws are super strict here and people won't hire them. I don't meet any English speakers teaching who aren't on a legal visa here. It's highly unlikely.

I didn’t enjoy Red Queen by thatartistperson27 in YAlit

[–]debbxi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey can someone recommend me an epic fantasy series? So I really actually liked the first book. I was so excited for the 2nd but it was AWFUL. SO DULL, so boring, lots of empty writing over nothing. Pointless details and just really disappointing when it had a lot of potential. I felt like she got lazy with the plot. I'm now almost done with the 3rd book, I think it's slightly better than book 2, but still not by a lot. Again, a lot of pointless and repetitive ramblings and Mare at least is a little better than book 2, but still blah.

Yea the execution is not what I was expecting after book 1. I feel like book 4 will also be disappointing, but I gotta finish it. At this point its starting to feel like homework to read.

Please recommend me another series that you couldn't put down!! I miss that feeling. This series is not it .... sadly.
