Answers:
I am a Reiki Master Teacher teaching since 1995. I've lived in Japan and in Hawaii and have done research on Reik due to the many different stories and information around that didn't make sense to me.

Reiki is more Associated with the martial Arts and the term Master may have been integrated from that. A black belt person is always referred to as Master

Reiki Therapy is recognized as a holistic strategy that complements and assists the health regimens and treatments prescribed, affecting the subtle energy fields, similar to therapeutic touch used by nurses.

Reiki is not a religion. It beholds no doctrines, creeds or contradictions to the Universal laws of consciousness and Love.

According to an article recently released in the Massage Magazine, the National Institute of Health Complementary and Alternative Medicine has been working on research with Reiki and Fibromyalgia, and the results will be released this year.
Health Question & Answer

I believe there are three "levels" of Reiki. I have had Level I training and will take Level II at the end of next month. I do Reiki with animals and for myself. A Reiki master has had the highest level of training and is able to hold classes and "attune" other practitioners.

The energy is in ALL human beings. Training to channel it to others is not difficult or complicated. It is something that one needs to work at with daily practice.
The healing energy is just as available from a "beginner" as from a "master".Health Question & Answer

You've heard from the believers...now it's time for a reality check

Reiki is a delusional belief system based on the ancient and pres-scientific idea of "vitalism"

It's origin is Japanese, but it claims that there is a universal life force (ki) and that imbalances in said life force can lead to health problems. (Compare that with chi in Chinese medicine, or prana in Ayruvedic medicine) Reiki has several levels of training, and "masters" have to be "attuned" by another master. They then claim to be able to detect and manipulate ki, and tap into the universal "energy" and transfer it to people. Some of them claim to be able to heal at a distance, or over the telephone. (Sounds alot like those late night faith healers on TV, doesn't it.?)

It shares a lot in common with things like acupuncture from TCM, therepeutic touch etc. It also shares the fact that there is no evidence at all of this undetectable form of energy, no evidence that Rieki practitioners can detect it, and no evidence that manipulation of this undetectable energy has any influence on health at all

Reiki believers will now give me the thumbs down for my closed mind. I await their proof that anything they claim is real. I have had many encounters with Reiki Masters....maybe it's because they label themselves masters, but I have found them to be among the most arrogantly deluded of the many Alties I deal with.

I would be very very concerned that someone who follows a delusional belief system like Reiki is offering psychotherapy to your daughter.
I don't know why she needs psychotherapy, but I would strongly suggest she get someone who has more legitimate qualifications than Reiki.

Reiki is the art of clearing energy blocks to let the energy go where it is suppose to go. Some mistakeningly think it be that you channel it but that's not so. Channeling is different.. Channeling is a touch light massage therapy where you direct the energy! Reiki on the other hand is either touch or don't touch. Some Reiki users combine touch light massage therapy! Some don't touch at all they just hover their hand above the person. This works cause the hand is passing through the persons aura. Usually the hovering is above along the spine very close but not touching! It just to remove energy blocks and frees it to go where it is suppose to! I am a Reiki doer but not a master! a Reiki Master is one that is well trained in Reiki and used it many times. It is best to learn Reiki from a Reiki Master than from someone that isn't yet a master of Reiki!Health Question & Answer

HI and Reiki is based on the oriental way of maintaining health. Chi runs through your body all of the time and if it gets plugged up somewhere along the line, the Reiki master can give acupuncture or massage to stop the illness. He can also channel his energy to make it all better. This is a good thing. Health Question & Answer
