Demystifying Reiki and other Energetic Modalities
I was compelled to write this article due to a certain confusion brought to my attention about what Reiki and other holistic treatments really are.
Reiki is not witchcraft, nor as some religious groups have tried to classify Reiki and other healing modalities as channeling demonic energy.
I myself, as a Christian Holistic Practitioner have been able to help many people with serious health issues over the course of 30 years. Most see this as an opportunity to follow more closely the teachings of Jesus healing the sick. Mark 16:17-18 “Those who believe they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover”. Acts 19 verse 11 “And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul” The Apostle Paul was used to lay hands on the sick as Jesus did.
My questions for those that admonish holisitc healing as being demonic is simply this:
WHY are people healing and improving their quality of life when receiving this and other energetic therapies? The devil does not want healing and in truth; only love heals. Are the people that have experienced the miracle of healing through God using a holistic practitioner thanking the devil? Would a demon do that? Hey, the devil made me do it!; We had the compassionate desire to help someone feel better and God used us to help! God gives us unique gifts. Some people are teachers, healers, preachers, artists, musicians. craftsmen and many other amazing skills.
The mentality of “how dare you think you can help people, that is evil” is pure ignorance. In reality YOU have been given by God a divine nature that CAN heal. You are not powerless and not wrong to believe in your divinity.
When a practitioner, who has God (the KEY IS LOVE),in his or her heart, and has the intention to help a person, God uses the practitioner not unlike his disciples to help the person heal. This ONLY occurs when the patient is READY to accept healing, and the practtitoner KNOWS that he is not the ONE that is “healing”, that it comes from the Almighty above.
FACTS:

Reiki was discovered by a Japanese man Mikao Usui who was a convert to Christianity and simply had the desire to help people heal.
