That sounds more or less the same as I was taught with my own Reiki. One of the first things I was taught was to speak to ask the 'higher self' for permission to do work on the person, although sometimes this permission is given without asking, it can be offered, such as when someone comes actively seeking for assistance. That being said, I actually believe Reiki to be effective for more than just healing.
