Reiki is a spiritual healing practice. It helps people become healthier, happier, more aware of their wholeness. This is the opposite of what you suggest.
@travb35 Reiki is a spiritual healing practice. It helps people become healthier, happier, more aware of their wholeness. This is the opposite of what you suggest.
@travb35 I'm pleased you said that. I was a Reiki Healer & it was the most devastating experience of my life. I got free of Reiki with an Excorcism. Reiki is a Demonic energy, a Satanic evil force. Reiki is Occultism.
@765lbsquat How can you say that when it is being used in so many hospitals? Clearly it is increasingly recognized by physicians and other conventional health care professionals as a support to conventional medicine.
@ReikiMedicine I hope you understand that people, like me, don't believe that Reiki is actually working. All I ask is the results of research showing the actual effects of Reiki treatment. If Reiki is based on the idea of ki, the life force, then again, why there is no studies showing the existence of it?
@ReikiMedicine yea, that is bullshit. Ask any respected physician, physical therapist, nurse, or wtv and they will call you guys bullshit. And by you guys, i mean chiropractors, acupuncture, reiki, and spirit science shit.
@765lbsquat Western medicine is no substitute for holistic healing for it fails greatly in the area of chronic disease. Also 4th leading cause of death is adverse drug reactions, still rooting for western medicine 100%? Open your mind, Einstein said that there is "There is no place in this new kind of physics for the field and matter, for the field is the only reality."
Respond to this video...some people don't believe what they can't see or feel, I went to massage school, and it was the first I heard of energy work, I was a non believer, I found out I'm sensitive to others energy, I can feel it like a wave, sometimes tingling, or I catch there inner emotions and now I know how to balance there energy and my own, After I graduated I went deeper into the studies, I know for sure its real, we all have it. Reiki does work, so do other energy modalities.
@ReikiMedicine Your Reiki medicine is not true healing. Why must people continue in it if you heal them ? They are not healed. This is just a lie from SATAN himself and you must seek Jesus Christ ask for his forgiveness, believe in him and REPENT ( turn away from this REIKI ) For he is the only true HEALER !! This is a lie.
A lot of you need to find some civility while commenting on things you don't "know". This is nothing new, it is basically a simplified and "earthy" translation of Meditative Qigong. It has a history in China that is 1000s of years old. Ki/Chi meditation is a very real thing, I personally don't feel that most of these people today are really qualified. Rather than teach they charge a lot to administer, like palm readers.
yeah it works good , i remember this old dude that had cancer , and within a few months it went into remission from what i think was reiki treatment . then he went off kimo and things got pretty bad . but that's still pretty good. i've only been doing it for a little while , but i used qigong training as like a stepping stone . so it was pretty easy to do.
It's so sad to see all the rude comments on this thread. This woman is just trying to make the world a better place. There is no risk or harm with Reiki at all. I for one am thrilled to have a choice in the matter of how I want to take care of my body. If Reiki is not the right choice for you, I respect that. But please, respect that others want to make their own choices that may not agree with yours.
@Mikeanglo Studies have shown improvement after Reiki treatment beyond placebo in such areas as heart rate, blood pressure, pain, and anxiety. Especially compared to medical costs, Reiki treatment is not expensive, and people can take a single class and practice for life.
@ReikiMedicine link or source please, I'd love to read it. I know that those outcomes have been shown for swedish massage, but as far as I know, reiki has never been able to get the same kind of results. Of course its not as measurable as what i study, molecular genetics, but knowing a tiny something about electromagnetic ofrces, I have to be pretty skeptical of it. Placebo effect is remarkably powerful.
@Mikeanglo thats great but way have a suddenly started getting banging headaces after my second treatment , by bodys gone into cleansing mode, my confidience has increased, my worrie has gone , I do not have shitting random negative thoughts banging around my head in my second treatment i felt like i was leaving my body, I even saw my dead grandmotherm fair enough quaks who sell it, I cant believe how amazing reki is , its changing everything
@Mikeanglo Typical, anything that people in the mainstream medicine don't understand they attribute to the placebo effect. They can't even explain the placebo effect which a inert substance heals by thought alone. Mainstream medicine only looks at chemicals processes and completely ignores energy. Einstein said, "The field is the sole governing agency of the particle" The field refers to the energy fields.
Einstein never attributed the principles of energy to mystical energy fields around the human body; That's pure BS. Don't try to attribute pseudo-scientific ideas to real scientific principles.
The differences between things like this and real medicine are that if you don't believe in this, you will not heal...but a vaccine works no matter what you believe. Plain and simple.
If reiki relaxes you and makes you feel good; Fine...but insurers shouldn't substitute it for meds.
Reiki is a bunch of stupid baloney bullshit. Thanks to a bunch of uneducated wolfshirt harpies, my mother now believes she has magical powers. She tried this bullshit on me and it was incredibly depressing to see her brainwashed into thinking she can manipulate chi and 'positive energy'. I set up a blind experiment and she failed to tell the difference between my hand and thin air. This is why we need more science education in schools, so there are less con artists getting away with this.
@armastama There is no reason why a Reiki practitioner would be able to do what you asked your mother to do. Parlor games are not part of the practice. However, this is an unregulated practice, and there is a wide range of approaches offered, some more credible than others. People interested in Reiki need to research their local offerings and make informed choices. Sometimes students go through a couple of teachers before finding one they feel is right for them.
@armastama y@armastama Simply Your mom is not well attuned to Reiki energy. One has to be attuned by a Master Reiki/Teacher who is reliable and well recognized by a Reiki association. This is so crucial. Being attuned from any Reiki Master does not imply that you are connected to "Chi" the time you wish. For more info, pls visit my web and calendar of events. At our center we witness miracles on a daily basis. This is not fake but a fact.
@armastama i agree with u, but these fuckers make tons of money! we should do the same and enjoy all the cash from dumb people who believe anything ha ha
Energy follows intent...If you are closed to the energy it is by choice of being so closed minded and in fact being brainwashed yourself, sorry dude but it is true. In modern society we rely way too much on prescriptions to heal ourselves, when really most drugs just treat the symptoms of a problem rather than the problem itself. We as humans in this society tend to denounce things we cannot sense with our main five senses. Do a little research before you criticize. Happy findings!
@TheOvarianBarbarian "Energy follows intent"? Where is the scientific proof in that? Anecdote does not count as evidence, as much as you would like to believe you're a wizard. It's very easy to fool people, I could easily disguise a dildo as a magnetized wand and 'cure' some arthritis down at the retirement home. As long as you keep a person company, the placebo effect goes a long way. It's hilarious how lazy reiki goes as far as the fake healing industry goes, the dildo is 100x more useful
To me, reiki is a scam. I pay $100 for 90 minutes of someone laying their hands on me? How does that improve my circulation or get knots out of muscles? Seems like the therapist has to do very, very little work for the $. I don't like when therapists incorporate reiki into sessions. I had a therapists who kept laying her hands on me through the sheet and wasting time, and I kept thinking, when is she actually going to get around to massage. May work for some, not for me.
@ace8842 Reiki is not a scam. In fact, the point of Reiki is to engage and activate the capacity of the body to heal itself - and to do so by using a very light touch. The real problem is that, culturally, Americans have very little sensitivity to and awareness of their own bodies. Therefore, even when Reiki has a very real effect on the body - e.g. relaxation of tense muscles - American clients are not aware of it.
@JamieTzeng Oh, BTW. You've fallen victim to your own bias here. It's very convenient for your stance to be able to say that an entire culture is incapable of feeling the effect of Reiki, and therefor unable to make a judgment about the merits of Reiki. With statements like that, how can you ever loose??? "I just had a $80 Reiki session and my ulcer still doesn't feel better... It must just be because I'm American." Makes perfect sense! Nevermind that this "Master" is American as they come.
@eNons3nse I will qualify my statement: culturally, MOST Americans have very little sensitivity to and awareness of their own bodies. Therefore, in some cases - exactly how many is an empirical question - an American client who receives Reiki and experiences a real bodily effect remains unaware of it.
@eNons3nse Does one "feel it working" after getting medication to lower cholesterol? It would be a non sequitur to jump from the observation that the patient is not aware of any physiological changes - to the conclusion that no physiological change has been effected by the treatment.
For al of those who don't understand. Reiki is no occult thing or magic or anything like that. I guess it can be seen as "spiritual healing." It's been used for centuries to heal. I know someone who went to a special cancer treatment place after being told they were going to die in 6 months, and they used reiki healings everyday, and she is still alive today and that was 8 years ago.
@TheAcidPhosphate 1) Just because something's been done for a long time, doesn't give it any credibility. Chinese have been killing Rhinos for their horn for centuries because they think it's an aphrodisiac, when it's all in their heads. Doesn't mean your point is wrong, but just a flimsy argument. 2) It's far from unheard of for cancer to go into remission in all types of people. Who's to say your friend can credit reiki for theirs? Again, flimsy argument. You've gotta do better than that.
@eNons3nse f you look a reiki masters hands under a thermal imaging device there is a complete difference in color. It's been done in many studies. I have personally seen plenty of great changes in my life thanks to practicing reiki.
@temp911Luke That is a very strong accusation you make, and in 24 years of practicing Reiki, I have seen nothing that supports what you are saying. What I have seen is people from various walks of life finding benefit from Reiki treatment in ways that are meaningful to them.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@ReikiMedicine i can ensure you "reiki" can lead you to the possession by demons. Please research about this issue, conduct an investigation regarding some possession cases which had to do with reiki. i also encourage you to watch this on youtube: "The Dangers of Reiki Exposed part 1".
@temp911Luke Reiki is not a standardized field, and people can use the word Reiki in any way they choose. Authentic Reiki is not in any way dangerous; it is misguided individuals who are dangerous.
@ReikiMedicine You claim: " Authentic Reiki is not in any way dangerous " . Well, tell it to the people who had to be exorcised because they were involved in that... "Authentic Reiki "
@temp911Luke The hell are you talking about!!! Research on freakin mythical beings!!!???? How the hell does THAT happen!!!!! Religion is just an ancient tool to control the masses. Science has proven that the great flood NEVER and COULD NEVER happen. Now if THAT lie is in the bible then what the hell CAN we trust in the bible? The bible also says that women should stay silent and should never be over a man, do you want us all to follow that rule too!!!??? Fuck you and your damn book of lies
I am a Reverend and assure you Reiki does not open to the door way to negativity,,,,,, unless YOU think it does and YOU invite such negativity into your life. Reiki and all spiritual teaching are mostly based on intention so if your intention is based on negativity than that is the energy YOU are choosing to live in. Rather than wasting time trying to assit others in seeing the dark side (which is your own personal perception) you should try to learn more about LOVE & LIGHT! Namaste.
@divineclairtymb "(...) energy you are choosing to live in"...yyy NO ! i don't choose an "energy". i choose One and The ONLY ONE True God True Man Jesus Christ.
@temp911Luke So you must be dead. It takes energy to do anything. It takes energy to move, to wake up, to pick up something everyhthing uses energy like potential and kinetic energy. Spit your ignorance somewhere else.
@TheAcidPhosphate No, It is God who supports us in every second of our life, not some energy.
Without God our bodies, bones would disintegrate.
The idea about "energy" comes from the satanic movement called "New Age".
When the one world government will be established led by the antichrist along with one world "religion" please don't be suprised when the same lies about some "energy" are spread.
@ReikiMedicine are you serious? The danger comes from giving the patients a false sense of security, diminishing clinical help that is the only way the sick can possibly be healed. The human palm expels a lot of things, sweat, heat, etc. but none of them is energy lol. Can I rub my face on cheese and turn it into milk? No, nor can you rub you hands on an injured cardiac patient and widen their arteries. It's a money making scheme and should not be taken with any sustenance.
@tobinlikesmanmeat Exactly; many proponents of alternative medicine don't understand that many people choose such medicine *instead of* actual medicine.
@BenkaiDebussy Surveys have shown that most people who use Reiki and other complementary therapies use them to support overall health and well-being, and to support any conventional medical care that they and their doctors decide is necessary.
@temp911Luke Reiki may result in, but is not limited to, demonic possesion, intervention and influences. check with your local pastor to see if Reiki is right for you. we are standing by at 1-800-555-5555. call now for a Reiki session absolutely free of charge! You will also recieve a free relaxation of your chakras with this free session. Call Now!
I actually believe that only people who do not realize that we are all one might be possessed... by hatred. How can anyone claim they follow Jesus and still feel something else than love for others.
@mscasabi Would you not fight for your brothers and sisters if they were in danger?! Would you let them get into the fire just like that? Would you not warn them? Would it be not out of love?
@temp911Luke what message does your church teach? I do not practice reiki or any other spiritual experiments. I have however I have been scammed by my church who happened to teach spiritual warfare where they passed JUDGEMENT on many things including hobbies. Then they persuaded us to donate our money that we would likely spend on those hobbies and used that money for their private pleasure. I'm not disputing your opinion here, just make sure you're on the right path and not anybody's toy.
@someone0d Since I've written so much about this on my blog, could I ask you to take a look at the Toward a More Plausible Model post on my blog? Thanks for your interest!
@kashchiza Reiki practice is balancing, and the more balanced your system is, the more effectively it is able to address any problems you might be experiencing. People often find that they simply release negativity they'd been holding, but it's very individual.
@kashchiza As I said, Reiki treatment is balancing to the system overall. From my understanding of Reiki treatment, there is nothing more I can say to address this question.
@kashchiza Reiki is fake. What do you mean by negative energy? If you mean that you have some negative emotions then it's better to do genuine relaxation techniques or to speak to a trained therapist. Reiki will only help you as a placebo effect.
@loveisthelaw20042004 Your information is not correct; Reiki is not in any way a form of possession. Nor is it "energy."
Reiki practice is not standardized in any way standardized, which means that we don't know what any individual who says he is practicing Reiki might actually be doing. However, there is adequate documentation that the founder, Mikao Usui, started a gentle, effective healing practice that helps restore balance to one's entire system.
I have been a Reiki practitioner for four years and would like to expand my practice,but I have trouble communicating with people about the true benefits of Reiki. Can you e-mail me the previous video in writing so I can study it or just let them read it themselves?
@TheFlanker35 Science does not yet know how Reiki works, but it seems to help the body relax deeply and regain its healthy, natural rhythms, thereby optimizing self-healing.
@ReikiMedicine Says someone who's been "published in peer-reviewed medical journals". If your method is unknown to science, how can you tout a fundamental pillar of scientific process to try to legitimize Reiki and yourself? I mean, did you listen to the criticism from these "peers", and adjust your methods to eliminate flaws and bias (like the placebo effect)? Because that's the whole point of peer-review (and science)! I'm sure you didn't. Why even mention that at the end of your video?
@eNons3nse Your criticism is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of science and medicine. The placebo effect is not a "bias" to be eliminated from treatment. Rather, it increases the efficacy of a treatment and therefore should be incorporated. Now, when scientifically investigating whether a particular treatment has a physiological effect in addition to what one would observe with a placebo, one would want to control for the placebo effect.
@JamieTzeng Hold on there buddy. I understand your correction and admit that I wasn't clear with my statement. Infact, my overall point is that Reiki has no physiological effect that can't be explained by placebo effect when tested scientifically. Furthermore, my criticism in my previous post is in no way dependent on your correction. That was just a misspoken example of a bias, while there are plenty of others that may apply. Like confirmation bias in @TheAcidPhosphate's cancer example.
@eNons3nse The question of whether or not Reiki has a physiological effect beyond that of a placebo is an interesting one that deserves careful, rigorous investigation. If your contention is that Reiki is a placebo, then you should cite specific studies that support your claim.
It is a non sequitur to argue that because a method of healing - e.g. Reiki - does not fit with contemporary paradigms in natural science that it must be a placebo, hence illegitimate.
@JamieTzeng "If your contention is that Reiki is a placebo, then you should cite specific studies that support your claim." whoa whoa whoa, that isn't how it works. Burden of proof falls with the person making the claim. Something isn't true until proven false.
@JamieTzeng Look, I'm not saying that Reiki doesn't help people. Placebo (in any form) is a legit effect that is encouraged, like you said. I have a problem when people are misinformed, and forgo essential medical treatment in favor of an all too willing "Reiki healer", then end up running into problems. Even worse, when they subject their kids to the same treatment, when they aren't old enough to make their own decisions about alternative medicine.
@eNons3nse I agree with you. That can be a problem. A responsible health practitioner stays within his/her scope of competence. I hope - and would like to believe - that Reiki practitioners recognize when symptoms fall outside of their scope and within that of a primary care physician.
If I was chronically overweight with high cholestrol and blood pressure and, one day, I started feeling intense chest pains, I would visit an ER rather than my Reiki practitioner.
Not for everyone though. Is it safe to say relaxation is the basically only treatment offered by reiki?
I've had some sessions, I imagine a normal massage would do the same thing. Mind you, it didn't work for me because I HATE people touching me, or being anywhere near me, so it's impossible to relax. So I'll guess I'm not the best candidate for reiki.
@Nakeeky Deep relaxation is the beginning of profound healing. My clients have expressed feeling that the relaxation of a Reiki treatment is deeper and longer lasting than from a massage.
You should have mentioned that a person needs to be attuned in a reiki to be a practitioner, personally I am attuned to usui reiki one and two. Thank you for the video :)
I just won a free Reiki session after putting my name in a draw. If it had any medical applications there wouldn't be free sessions. You don't see people handing out meds or physiotherapy etc for free. That said, though, it looks really relaxing, and I think that's what is doing all the healing if there is any at all.
@JenniMystic It's funny that what you said in an attempt to discount Reiki--that it is relaxing--is actually an important part of why it is so effective. When the body deeply relaxes, self-healing is optimized. I hope you enjoy your session. You are lucky that someone offered it to you (perhaps to raise money for a good cause?); most practitioners charge for their time.
@JenniMystic You haven't been in doctor or dentist offices much! lol! Drug reps give free samples all the time that get passed out to patients free. But it's a sad state when the health value of something is measured only by monetary price. It truly is a valuable gift to receive a free Reiki session. If nothing else, it's at least an hour of someone's time & energy focused solely on you, not to mention their commute & likely space rental costs. Reducing stress is often how healing works anyway!
@griff868686 Reiki treatment is already offered in many prestigious hospitals, as mentioned on the video, and the list is growing as more hospitals learn of Reiki and see that it helps patients without interfering with medical treatment. Patients who are less distressed have better medical outcomes.
I'm not interested in convincing anyone of anything, but if someone wanted to educate himself, medical papers and a credible, rational approach to Reiki are available on my website.
@ReikiMedicine It's a shame, Reiki was used in Catholic hospitals until 2009...now it's claimed to not represent Christian ideals....which upset me since I'm catholic. However, I still use reiki because it helps my mother’s knee pain. I see nothing wrong with it; it's soothing and relaxing.
@ReikiMedicine So I took a random paper you published from your website. I found Reiki for Mind, Body, etc published in 2007. You state - "twenty-minute Reiki treatments self-administered or received from another Reiki student significantly reduced the anxiety and pain reported by outpatients learning to practice Reiki in classes held at an inner-city HIV clinic." The paper you cite here clearly says "It is not possible to describe any direct medical benefits Reiki has provided this patient.."
Claims for Reiki energy have no known theoretical or biophysical basis.
A 2008 systematic review of randomised clinical trials assessing the evidence basis of Reiki concluded that efficacy had not been demonstrated for any condition. Can you spell p-l-a-c-e-b-o?
@griff868686 Ernst's review said that there is not yet enough research evidence for Reiki to be recommended as a standard treatment for any medical condition. I completely agree, because as I say in the video, Reiki does not treat conditions, it balances the recipient's overall system, reducing stress and optimizing the body's self-healing. And also, research is just beginning. However, the studies that have been done have seen benefits statistically significant beyond placebo.
@ReikiMedicine Reducing stress etc can be done just as easy as talking to someone you do in the video. I even admit listening to it has a soothing quality too it - you can't go from that to vibrational energies in the body manifesting themselves through stress and being supressed by touch alone. I admit there is a small amount of viable science going on here but it is blanketed by the entirely false causal concepts.
@griff868686 I don't subscribe to the theories commonly circulated for how/why Reiki treatment works, but it's not necessary to agree with theories to see that people find it beneficial.
Not everyone has a soothing voice, but anyone can be taught to have a soothing touch. People feel relief from pain and anxiety without taking more drugs. Even if it were placebo, what does it matter if people are benefiting? There is so much suffering in hospitals, the patients and the staff.
@ReikiMedicine So we've established that regardless of the evidence, if people find it beneficial they should be allowed to accept such practices. The problem is you are deluding and manipulating people's insecurities and misunderstanding of how the world actually works. Allowing such practicies to be carried out slows humanities ability to step out of the age of mysticism into the age of reason. Teaching people that their body is made up of vibrational energies when it isn't is very subversive.
@ReikiMedicine The majority of Western civilizations don't subscribe to Reiki because if it were so useful it would be in every medicial institution in the world. Could you give me an article which you think best convinces a skeptic of its uses please?
@ReikiMedicine There are *scientific, medical* journals... and then there are scientific, medical journals. In the context of Reiki healing, the statement "I've published in peer-reviewed journals" is about as nourishing to the pursuit of truth as saying "Other people believe what I believe". I'm not some ignorant fool either - my mother practices and has taught me enough to conclude it is pseudo-science. Why also did you remove griff868686's comment above?
@griff868686 Don't confuse mysticism with religion. It's like comparing Jesus with Christians. Mysticism incorporates reason but much more. We are in the age of reason, mysticism is ahead...
@winstono75 MYSTICISM is the pursuit of communion with, identity with, or conscious awareness of an ultimate reality, divinity, spiritual truth, or God through direct experience, intuition, instinct or insight. RELIGION is the belief in and worship of a god or gods, or a set of beliefs concerning the origin and purpose of the universe. What I meant was religion but you can definitely see enough overlap between the two to understand my point. We are (technically) ALWAYS in the age of mysticism.
@astudyofeverything No, you make a severe mistake in thinking that mysticism and religion are interchangeable terms. Mysticism is important for the development of humanity, and its value needs to be recognized instead of being lumped together with religion. There is no conflict between mysticism and real science. We have today, however, a strongly materialistic science which thinks that all spiritual pursuits are at the same level as religion.
@winstono75 No, you misunderstand what I'm saying here. I said, there is OVERLAP, of course they aren't the same. Did you read my last sentence - we are ALWAYS in the age of mysticism i.e. there is no conflict with science. I can't believe I'm arguing FOR my own opinion here. I completely AGREE with what you just said. I just wished you had read what I said more carefully. Of course religion and spirituality overlap and they are, as you say, DEFINITELY not interchangeable words.
@winstono75 Furthermore, what do you mean by *materialistic* science? If you apply our modern definition then the phrase 'materialistic science' makes no sense. If you apply a subjective definition, then although it does make sense, you need to make yourself more clear when throwing those words around. I think I know what you meant but I could take your approach and go on a rant about that not making sense but I can see the point you are trying to make and so I refrain.
@astudyofeverything I'm sorry if I have misunderstood you. But whatever you mean by saying that we are always in the age of mysticism, the fact is that there are only a handful of people living in that state right now, and so it is very much a future coming. According to the materialistic science itself, it does not make sense to call it materialistic. I'm referring to the belief that man is a biological machine and that consciousness is an epiphenomenon. Hence the denying of mysticism.
Reiki Master? That's a bit like saying you're the tallest midget. Pure and pointless woo. I lay down and relax and balance myself every single night, it's called sleep. Unlike Reiki, sleep actually has benefits. No standards, she said it herself, now buy her book you brainless morons.
@MrProweed She does state (as most practitioners do) that this treatment is in addition to whatever medical help you're already getting. She also says in the video that you need to make sure you're getting all the medical help you require. I know my own teacher was very clear that if we had any concerns at all that someone might have an illness that needed any medical treatment we are required to let them know to get it checked out by a licensed doctor. Most of us really are here to help :-)
@meathena so you're saying that reiki takes credit for western medicine, I'm seriously not trying to be mean or hateful I'm only saying that, I think your argument is likened to if someone were say, on fire and you told them that while their fire can be put out with reiki alone you should also try a regiment of water and stop drop and roll, but it's not the stop drop and roll acting alone it's the coupling of the two, while in reality it is only the water and stopping dropping and rolling...
@MrProweed No I'm not saying that it takes credit for western medicine. It really does just seem like you're looking for an argument and jumping to conclusions to prompt one. Please pay attention. Nobody claimed that things can be solved with "reiki alone" as you say. It's supplemental, like when you put a band-aid over a cut. It helps, but your body does all the work to heal the wound. Would you turn down a band-aid just because you didn't want it to take credit for healing the wound?
@meathena Nice straw man, but now you're saying that your body does all the work then what good are you? All i have to do is take care of myself and if i do get sick i will use western medicine alone, which depending on the condition it will probably clear up just as fast if i were to do all of those things and incorporate reiki.
and in my area two practitioners claim reiki has no limits to what it can heal what is the validity of this.
@MrProweed I can't vouch for the people you know, I only know what I was taught. Again, really seems like you're just looking for an argument. Maybe you're trying to work out some other problem you're dealing with by fighting with a stranger about something that clearly doesn't matter to you. What are you hoping to achieve with this conversation? If you don't want reiki then don't get it, but don't use it as a proxy issue for some other problem you're having. No one is forcing it on anyone.
@TheAcidPhosphate I bet colloidal silver is a staple of your home health too haha. when smart people stop acting like assholes and dumb people stop acting like wizards the world will be at peace.
@MrProweed Why don't you go smoke your drugs, polish your handgun or beat your wife or whatever a cavemen like you does to help kid himself he actually has his shit together... while your narrow psyche tries vainly to hold all those ducks in a row in the face of an oncoming and unavoidable shift in consciousness that will snap your wee brain...that's right, even you will change one day, when you finally wake up, get clean and stand up like a real man...
@MrProweed I am not usually into spiritual stuff, but I do believe in reiki. I have done it, and it is so amazing. I don't know if it is the heat and relaxation, or if chakras and energy and all that exist, but it is amazing either way....
@MrProweed I have a broken back ,Spondyilodisis as well as a broken neck two futre knee replacments. I was on 13 medications. Feel free to contact me I now take only my hypertension meds. I feel Like I was in seventh grade......
@cakeisnotanumber placebo is a blanket term used for psychosomatic mechanisms that are not scientifically understood, there is widely documented scientific evidence of these mechanisms being able to do things ranging from positive thinking healing cancer to room temperature metal leaving brand marks on the skin. Techniques such as reiki healing teach us how to harness, control concentrate and use these mechanisms, though they are rarely concerned with explaining them.
@jonathanspan Actually it is plainly understand why Reiki works. Most people that go for such alternative remedies are usually depressed, or they feel they haven't had success with conventional medicine, or their doctor can't find anything wrong and they feel tired all the time etc. So when these clients arrive they just want some emotional connection, and a friendly person to just listen. It is just psychology, nothing mystical. Knowing someone cares makes us feel better.
@jonathanspan Why do people like yourself insist on using mumbo jumbo to explain what is quite plainly obvious to any intelligent person? I'd recommend that you study the sciences in detail, you will then realise that there is almost always a rational explanation for something.
It is ignorant people who find mystical meanings for things that any educated person knows has a rational cause, this is why almost all scientists are atheists.
@cakeisnotanumber I am sorry, which part of my reply did you see as mumbo jumbo? I am a scientist, and have published work, spoke at conferences, and collaborated with experts on interdisciplinary projects in related subjects such as neuroscience of emotions, psychology etc... Are you also a scientist? After pondering this for a few years I came to see the "Placebo Effect" as having great similarity to a scientific theory that cartographers had a few hundred years a go called "Here be Dragons"
@MrProweed who needs to pretend? if you tell yourself reiki works, chances are its gonna work. you think its stupid and it wont ever work, thats ur mind set, its not gonna work. i think people heal themselves in many different ways, including reiki
Pamela your book has been an inspiration to me and has encouraged me to take up my daily self treatments once again. I had let too many distractions interfere with my self care and felt the difference immediately upon starting again. Thankyou and hope you will continue to write on the wonderful subject of Reiki!
Thank you for asking this question. Reiki practice developed in Japan and did not involve the teachings of Saint Germain or violet light. Some Western Reiki practitioners, however, have added these things.
@ReikiMedicine if you don't mind me asking what is your opinion on St Germain and theosophy or whatever that is called. The people that do it are very persistant in trying to help you it almost makes me want to grab a wooden stake
It's important to draw a distinction between teachings and the people who purport to practice them. I have met fine people who practice these teachings. I am, however, always suspicious of those who are persistent in trying to help others. Makes more sense to me to help people who want our help.
Thank you for asking this question. Since Reiki is a completely unregulated practice, many permutations have occurred in the way Reiki is taught. Traditionally, Reiki practice is learned in-person with a Reiki master. The training is largely experiential, and that cannot be replicated in an online course.
Reiki is a spiritual healing practice. It helps people become healthier, happier, more aware of their wholeness. This is the opposite of what you suggest.

@armastama There is no reason why a Reiki practitioner would be able to do what you asked your mother to do. Parlor games are not part of the practice. However, this is an unregulated practice, and there is a wide range of approaches offered, some more credible than others. People interested in Reiki need to research their local offerings and make informed choices. Sometimes students go through a couple of teachers before finding one they feel is right for them.

To me, reiki is a scam. I pay $100 for 90 minutes of someone laying their hands on me? How does that improve my circulation or get knots out of muscles? Seems like the therapist has to do very, very little work for the $. I don't like when therapists incorporate reiki into sessions. I had a therapists who kept laying her hands on me through the sheet and wasting time, and I kept thinking, when is she actually going to get around to massage. May work for some, not for me.
ace8842 9 months ago
@ace8842 Reiki is not a scam. In fact, the point of Reiki is to engage and activate the capacity of the body to heal itself - and to do so by using a very light touch. The real problem is that, culturally, Americans have very little sensitivity to and awareness of their own bodies. Therefore, even when Reiki has a very real effect on the body - e.g. relaxation of tense muscles - American clients are not aware of it.

@JamieTzeng Oh, BTW. You've fallen victim to your own bias here. It's very convenient for your stance to be able to say that an entire culture is incapable of feeling the effect of Reiki, and therefor unable to make a judgment about the merits of Reiki. With statements like that, how can you ever loose??? "I just had a $80 Reiki session and my ulcer still doesn't feel better... It must just be because I'm American." Makes perfect sense! Nevermind that this "Master" is American as they come.

For al of those who don't understand. Reiki is no occult thing or magic or anything like that. I guess it can be seen as "spiritual healing." It's been used for centuries to heal.

@eNons3nse Your criticism is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of science and medicine. The placebo effect is not a "bias" to be eliminated from treatment. Rather, it increases the efficacy of a treatment and therefore should be incorporated. Now, when scientifically investigating whether a particular treatment has a physiological effect in addition to what one would observe with a placebo, one would want to control for the placebo effect.

@JamieTzeng Hold on there buddy. I understand your correction and admit that I wasn't clear with my statement. Infact, my overall point is that Reiki has no physiological effect that can't be explained by placebo effect when tested scientifically. Furthermore, my criticism in my previous post is in no way dependent on your correction. That was just a misspoken example of a bias, while there are plenty of others that may apply. Like confirmation bias in @TheAcidPhosphate's cancer example.

@eNons3nse The question of whether or not Reiki has a physiological effect beyond that of a placebo is an interesting one that deserves careful, rigorous investigation. If your contention is that Reiki is a placebo, then you should cite specific studies that support your claim.
It is a non sequitur to argue that because a method of healing - e.g. Reiki - does not fit with contemporary paradigms in natural science that it must be a placebo, hence illegitimate.

But it's a sad state when the health value of something is measured only by monetary price. It truly is a valuable gift to receive a free Reiki session. If nothing else, it's at least an hour of someone's time & energy focused solely on you, not to mention their commute & likely space rental costs. Reducing stress is often how healing works anyway!

@griff868686 Reiki treatment is already offered in many prestigious hospitals, as mentioned on the video, and the list is growing as more hospitals learn of Reiki and see that it helps patients without interfering with medical treatment. Patients who are less distressed have better medical outcomes.
I'm not interested in convincing anyone of anything, but if someone wanted to educate himself, medical papers and a credible, rational approach to Reiki are available on my website.

@ReikiMedicine It's a shame, Reiki was used in Catholic hospitals until 2009...now it's claimed to not represent Christian ideals....which upset me since I'm catholic. However, I still use reiki because it helps my mother’s knee pain. I see nothing wrong with it; it's soothing and relaxing.

@ReikiMedicine So I took a random paper you published from your website. I found Reiki for Mind, Body, etc published in 2007. You state - "twenty-minute Reiki treatments self-administered or received from another Reiki student significantly reduced the anxiety and pain reported by outpatients learning to practice Reiki in classes held at an inner-city HIV clinic." The paper you cite here clearly says "It is not possible to describe any direct medical benefits Reiki has provided this patient.."

Claims for Reiki energy have no known theoretical or biophysical basis.
A 2008 systematic review of randomised clinical trials assessing the evidence basis of Reiki concluded that efficacy had not been demonstrated for any condition. Can you spell p-l-a-c-e-b-o?
griff868686 1 year ago
@griff868686 Ernst's review said that there is not yet enough research evidence for Reiki to be recommended as a standard treatment for any medical condition. I completely agree, because as I say in the video, Reiki does not treat conditions, it balances the recipient's overall system, reducing stress and optimizing the body's self-healing. And also, research is just beginning. However, the studies that have been done have seen benefits statistically significant beyond placebo.
ReikiMedicine 1 year ago
@ReikiMedicine Reducing stress etc can be done just as easy as talking to someone you do in the video. I even admit listening to it has a soothing quality too it - you can't go from that to vibrational energies in the body manifesting themselves through stress and being supressed by touch alone. I admit there is a small amount of viable science going on here but it is blanketed by the entirely false causal concepts.
griff868686 1 year ago
@griff868686 I don't subscribe to the theories commonly circulated for how/why Reiki treatment works, but it's not necessary to agree with theories to see that people find it beneficial.
Not everyone has a soothing voice, but anyone can be taught to have a soothing touch. People feel relief from pain and anxiety without taking more drugs. Even if it were placebo, what does it matter if people are benefiting? There is so much suffering in hospitals, the patients and the staff.
ReikiMedicine 1 year ago
@ReikiMedicine So we've established that regardless of the evidence, if people find it beneficial they should be allowed to accept such practices. The problem is you are deluding and manipulating people's insecurities and misunderstanding of how the world actually works. Allowing such practicies to be carried out slows humanities ability to step out of the age of mysticism into the age of reason. Teaching people that their body is made up of vibrational energies when it isn't is very subversive.

@griff868686 If your accusations were based in fact, I wouldn't have papers published in peer-reviewed medical journals.

@ReikiMedicine The majority of Western civilizations don't subscribe to Reiki because if it were so useful it would be in every medicial institution in the world. Could you give me an article which you think best convinces a skeptic of its uses please?
griff868686 1 year ago
@ReikiMedicine There are *scientific, medical* journals... and then there are scientific, medical journals. In the context of Reiki healing, the statement "I've published in peer-reviewed journals" is about as nourishing to the pursuit of truth as saying "Other people believe what I believe". I'm not some ignorant fool either - my mother practices and has taught me enough to conclude it is pseudo-science. Why also did you remove griff868686's comment above?

@griff868686 Don't confuse mysticism with religion. It's like comparing Jesus with Christians. Mysticism incorporates reason but much more. We are in the age of reason, mysticism is ahead...
winstono75 1 year ago
@winstono75 MYSTICISM is the pursuit of communion with, identity with, or conscious awareness of an ultimate reality, divinity, spiritual truth, or God through direct experience, intuition, instinct or insight. RELIGION is the belief in and worship of a god or gods, or a set of beliefs concerning the origin and purpose of the universe. What I meant was religion but you can definitely see enough overlap between the two to understand my point. We are (technically) ALWAYS in the age of mysticism.
astudyofeverything 1 year ago
@astudyofeverything No, you make a severe mistake in thinking that mysticism and religion are interchangeable terms. Mysticism is important for the development of humanity, and its value needs to be recognized instead of being lumped together with religion. There is no conflict between mysticism and real science. We have today, however, a strongly materialistic science which thinks that all spiritual pursuits are at the same level as religion.
winstono75 1 year ago
@winstono75 No, you misunderstand what I'm saying here. I said, there is OVERLAP, of course they aren't the same. Did you read my last sentence - we are ALWAYS in the age of mysticism i.e. there is no conflict with science. I can't believe I'm arguing FOR my own opinion here. I completely AGREE with what you just said. I just wished you had read what I said more carefully. Of course religion and spirituality overlap and they are, as you say, DEFINITELY not interchangeable words.
astudyofeverything 1 year ago
@winstono75 Furthermore, what do you mean by *materialistic* science? If you apply our modern definition then the phrase 'materialistic science' makes no sense. If you apply a subjective definition, then although it does make sense, you need to make yourself more clear when throwing those words around. I think I know what you meant but I could take your approach and go on a rant about that not making sense but I can see the point you are trying to make and so I refrain.
astudyofeverything 1 year ago
@astudyofeverything I'm sorry if I have misunderstood you. But whatever you mean by saying that we are always in the age of mysticism, the fact is that there are only a handful of people living in that state right now, and so it is very much a future coming. According to the materialistic science itself, it does not make sense to call it materialistic. I'm referring to the belief that man is a biological machine and that consciousness is an epiphenomenon. Hence the denying of mysticism.

Reiki Master? That's a bit like saying you're the tallest midget. Pure and pointless woo. I lay down and relax and balance myself every single night, it's called sleep. Unlike Reiki, sleep actually has benefits. No standards, she said it herself, now buy her book you brainless morons.

@MrProweed She does state (as most practitioners do) that this treatment is in addition to whatever medical help you're already getting. She also says in the video that you need to make sure you're getting all the medical help you require. I know my own teacher was very clear that if we had any concerns at all that someone might have an illness that needed any medical treatment we are required to let them know to get it checked out by a licensed doctor. Most of us really are here to help :-)

@meathena so you're saying that reiki takes credit for western medicine, I'm seriously not trying to be mean or hateful I'm only saying that, I think your argument is likened to if someone were say, on fire and you told them that while their fire can be put out with reiki alone you should also try a regiment of water and stop drop and roll, but it's not the stop drop and roll acting alone it's the coupling of the two, while in reality it is only the water and stopping dropping and rolling...
MrProweed 1 year ago
@MrProweed No I'm not saying that it takes credit for western medicine. It really does just seem like you're looking for an argument and jumping to conclusions to prompt one. Please pay attention. Nobody claimed that things can be solved with "reiki alone" as you say. It's supplemental, like when you put a band-aid over a cut. It helps, but your body does all the work to heal the wound. Would you turn down a band-aid just because you didn't want it to take credit for healing the wound?
meathena 1 year ago
@meathena Nice straw man, but now you're saying that your body does all the work then what good are you? All i have to do is take care of myself and if i do get sick i will use western medicine alone, which depending on the condition it will probably clear up just as fast if i were to do all of those things and incorporate reiki.
and in my area two practitioners claim reiki has no limits to what it can heal what is the validity of this.

@MrProweed I can't vouch for the people you know, I only know what I was taught. Again, really seems like you're just looking for an argument. Maybe you're trying to work out some other problem you're dealing with by fighting with a stranger about something that clearly doesn't matter to you. What are you hoping to achieve with this conversation? If you don't want reiki then don't get it, but don't use it as a proxy issue for some other problem you're having. No one is forcing it on anyone.

@MrProweed Reiki is fake. It only works as far as being a placebo.
cakeisnotanumber 1 year ago
@cakeisnotanumber placebo is a blanket term used for psychosomatic mechanisms that are not scientifically understood, there is widely documented scientific evidence of these mechanisms being able to do things ranging from positive thinking healing cancer to room temperature metal leaving brand marks on the skin. Techniques such as reiki healing teach us how to harness, control concentrate and use these mechanisms, though they are rarely concerned with explaining them.
jonathanspan 1 year ago
@jonathanspan Actually it is plainly understand why Reiki works. Most people that go for such alternative remedies are usually depressed, or they feel they haven't had success with conventional medicine, or their doctor can't find anything wrong and they feel tired all the time etc. So when these clients arrive they just want some emotional connection, and a friendly person to just listen. It is just psychology, nothing mystical. Knowing someone cares makes us feel better.
cakeisnotanumber 1 year ago
@jonathanspan Why do people like yourself insist on using mumbo jumbo to explain what is quite plainly obvious to any intelligent person? I'd recommend that you study the sciences in detail, you will then realise that there is almost always a rational explanation for something.
It is ignorant people who find mystical meanings for things that any educated person knows has a rational cause, this is why almost all scientists are atheists.
cakeisnotanumber 1 year ago
@cakeisnotanumber I am sorry, which part of my reply did you see as mumbo jumbo? I am a scientist, and have published work, spoke at conferences, and collaborated with experts on interdisciplinary projects in related subjects such as neuroscience of emotions, psychology etc... Are you also a scientist? After pondering this for a few years I came to see the "Placebo Effect" as having great similarity to a scientific theory that cartographers had a few hundred years a go called "Here be Dragons"

Is reiki linked some how to the spiritual teachings of Saint Germain or the violet light or whatever that is cause that stuff scares me.
swiv2d 2 years ago
Thank you for asking this question. Reiki practice developed in Japan and did not involve the teachings of Saint Germain or violet light. Some Western Reiki practitioners, however, have added these things.

@ReikiMedicine if you don't mind me asking what is your opinion on St Germain and theosophy or whatever that is called. The people that do it are very persistant in trying to help you it almost makes me want to grab a wooden stake
swiv2d 2 years ago
It's important to draw a distinction between teachings and the people who purport to practice them. I have met fine people who practice these teachings. I am, however, always suspicious of those who are persistent in trying to help others. Makes more sense to me to help people who want our help.

can you learn Reiki from an online course?
alanckaye 2 years ago
Thank you for asking this question. Since Reiki is a completely unregulated practice, many permutations have occurred in the way Reiki is taught. Traditionally, Reiki practice is learned in-person with a Reiki master. The training is largely experiential, and that cannot be replicated in an online course.
