Reiki Lies

So for my birthday last year Brandon surprised me with a professional massage, and I've been hooked ever since. Now every time I see a coupon or discount for a massage I pretty much can't resist buying it. So anyways I got a massage a few weekends ago at Everybody Wellcome in Orem, which was great. The lady, however, was kind of a weirdy. She was about 50, very motherly, and kind of a take charge lady. In the beginning of the massage she asked if I had something called "reiki" which I recently Googled and it means: Through the use of this technique, practitioners claim to transfer healing energy in the form of ki through the palms.

This is what it looks like:

So ANYWAYS I said I don't think so? And so she says she is going to do it for me, which just means she puts her hands on my face, my neck, and my stomach for a few minutes each totally silently, I guess transferring healing energy to me. Who knows. So she gets to my stomach and after minutes of silence she suddenly goes "Are you trying to get pregnant?" And I say "Uhh NO." and she says "Oh that's weird, for some reason your body was telling me you're pregnant.." and I said nope definitely not, actively NOT trying to get pregnant actually. And she just seems so confused why my body was telling her that. She also said "You're married right? You're young though you've got so much time, no need to rush having a baby." So now I'm freaking out a little bit because I never told her I was married and I had my ring off for the massage, so apparently my body told her I was married and that one was right. So now I'm scared that I'm pregnant because my body told her, so instead of relaxing the whole time I'm kind of thinking, oh crap AM I pregnant? Turns out no, and she was just kind of crazy, but it makes you wonder! I don't think I will go to her again. :)

I do reccommend CityDeals though if you want a massage, they have deals on there all the time for them! I just got another one for a 70 minute massage for $21! Awesome.
