Reiki is a healing practice that I strongly believe in. I have seen healing occur in amazing ways. I, myself, am a Reiki practitioner and have facilitated change and healing
in my clients.
I ask Jesus to enter and help me during the healing process.
But there is still resistance to it as a "woo-woo" practice.
As explained here, Jesus was the greatest healer of all and did a form of Reiki. People like me, who offer Reiki, are simply following His example to help and serve others.

Reiki as a Christian Healing Practice
If you know what Reiki is, it is the laying on of hands on a person to invite healing. It helps to balance all four parts of the body: the physical, the mental, the emotional and the spiritual body.
It is known an Eastern healing technique, originating in Japan, and is not associated with any religion - but a way of being. It is an alternative form of healing that invokes heavenly healing to come through the healer to the person needing the healing.
If you think about it, Jesus also did hands-on healing or Reiki. He did many acts of healing, as well as miracles like walking on water, feeding 5,000 and raising people from the dead.
However, there are many passages in the New Testament that show the healing He performed. These healings included paralysis, lameness, fever(Matthew 8:14-15), epilepsy, hemorrhage, skin disease (Mark 1:40-42), mental disorders, deafness (Mark 7:32-35) and blindness (Mark8:22-25).
Many of these healings were accomplished by the laying on of hands. This in indicated in Luke 4:40 which states:
"When the sun was setting, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them."
There are many paths to healing. More and more people are realizing that there is a clear connection among the body, mind and spirit. All three of these elements must be looked after in order to live a balanced and contented life. Reiki is one way to do this.
Jesus was the Master Healer and, in my opinion, Reiki is a Christian form of healing that is modeled after Jesus' ministry and His example of laying on of hands.
So, if you are having a recurring illness, pain, restlessness or other complaints, give a 30 minute Reiki treatment a try with a Reiki practitioner you can trust, as an alternative health care option.
It will help repair the physical problem, as well as to help you feel healthier, more balanced and more energized in this busy life.
After all, we are all looking for that...
Namaste...
