    Sounds like my mom too.

    She practiced reiki at one point and wanted to convince me it works by trying it on me. When I said I didn’t feel anything at all her reply was “oh well that’s probably just because you don’t believe in it.”

    …I love you mom, but yes that is it and not in the way you think it is lol

      …but she’s right, people feel better from alternative medicine by believing that it work, it’s placebo

        Yeah lol that’s what I meant by “that is it (not believing), but not the way you think.”
