@DaasYochid,
“Do you really not see how badly it shmeks of a”z?”
As you might suspect, I’m not someone who goes for these things in general, (which might explain why I haven’t heard of it) but because I’m not comfortable with it, or think it’s a weird mishegas, doesn’t make it A”Z chas vesholom. A”Z is worshipping other God’s, and derivatives of this. This is neither. I also don’t approve of life size murals of the Rebbe in the streets of Crown Heights, (I’m far from the only one, seeing that it was vandalized) but my opinions aren’t kovea what A”Z is. Neither should yours. Reiki and the like give me a bad vibe, and they possibly could be Avizrayu D’a”z, but would I reject a shidduch with someone who’s family does it? I’d be rejecting quite a significant part of Klal Yisroel. (Lakewood b’sochom)
