The Dangers of Reiki (Page 1 of 3)

I too have read that unbalanced reiki symbols that call in external energies many of which the practitioner has no real understanding of can be harmfull.
They can often open up peoples chakras to these unbalanced external energies so losing their auric sheild of protection or they may place a clockwise symbol over a chakra for example which will unblance it as chakras spin in both directions at the same time, both imploding and expolding energies.
IMO learning to heal with internal energies from source and doing it yourself is the safest bet.
I also think it somewhat naive of some people who expect miracles from reiki while they often ignore the physical aspects of causation, diet and toxins.
If a disease is caused by toxins or poor diet then at best reiki is only going to be palliative and should only ever be used as part of a whole holistic approach.
Most successfull alternative health practitioners these days know that unless they get their clients detoxed and  hydrated and put on a good diet, the homeopathy or acupuncture or whatever will palliate but probably wont cure serious disease.

I'm a reiki teacher myself and the book i'm writing and posted here has some pieces of about how reiki actually is nothing more than a channel for energy, so if the thought of even one of the teachers in the lineage is even remotely ignorant to the nature of illness and thus harmful it corrupts all following members of that tradition thus making reiki "harmful" to the patient but acting in accordance with what the healer his / herself wants.

So reiki only empowrs the person who recieves the initiation, but keep in mind that if you have 10 people who studeid before you, can you really count that all 10 of them managed to realise on their own what illness is and managed to pass that on without even one of them being corrupted. Probably not, thats why reiki has taken a very severe downturn and corruption in recent decades and it will crumble very shortly.

So i would not recommend reiki to anyone unless you can completely 100% trust the person you learn it from, and if they say reiki  cant do harm. Dont trust them, so that includes 95% of Reiki people.

So, i'm a  reiki teacher yet i can openly say that i dont believe reiki to be a good way of healing anymore, and i can do that because reiki to me is a tool to heal people, if it works it works, if it dosnt work it dosnt work. Only a tool and nothing higher than myself.

I live in finland and i recieved my reiki initiations from a person who studied outside the US reiki lines. Who got his initiations from a healer in hungary who got hers from 2 lines removed from usui himself. Yet i have the same observations about effects of reiki as you mention. And i only have the 4 basic symbols (chokurei, seheki, honshashesonen and daikomyo) (spelling might be off). So i find it unlikely that the problem is with the symbols. More likely with the actual lines.

So, reiki in it self is a extremely powerful tool, as it opens up to the desire of the healer, yet if the motivations of the healer are "inpure" the reiki begins to reflect that, and slowly the reiki line that follows from that teacher gets really corrupted as each step usually makes it more and more "inpure". Thats why reiki has a tendency to be corrupt, as it is a "master-student" thing, without the actual "guide-student" relation which most shamanistical paths have.

Montalk said: The alternative health field has especially been targeted by the Control System because of its potential for positive effects. So you will find pockets of poison among all the goodness.

This has gotten so bad that I have dropped out of the holistic health/alternative spirituality  field.  I used to teach classes on dreamwork and intuitive development but was under such psychic attack that I had to go into hiding.  I see many health practioners, esp. energy workers possessed by negative entities.  Many people have come to me to have implants and other noxious things removed afterwards.  I do a form of intuitive healing that seems to have good results esp. on animals.  The hardest question I face is "So what exactly do you do?" and my reply is "I try to remove as much of myself as possible, focus on the highest and purest energy there is and let this come through me."  However most people, it seems, what some kind of label attached to the work.   
   I also think that negative forces can insinuate themselves into group minds undetected-let's say a Reiki or Tai Chi class that meets on a regular basis.  No one can notice because the forces can jump from person to person-hide within belief systems, attitudes, assumptions about the work, etc.  It would be interesting to chart the decline of systems such as Reiki based on the infiltration of negative forces-how it is done, etc.  i.e. detect a pattern that would apply to other systems under attack.

I just saw this thread and couldn't agree more with LipstickMystic.

I was very interested in healing back in 1997 as I had just been diagnosed with Addison’s Disease  and given 3 years to live. I figured, why not heal myself, and so I investigated a lot of modalities out there… one of which was Reiki, the other 2 were QiGong healing and Pranic healing (the last 2 are almost the same thing).

In March of ’98 I got Reiki I and in May I got Reiki II. Every time I tried to use it I caused people pain. I wondered if the symbols/attunements were done backwards, or something. After just a few people getting worse, I stopped it, and to repair the damage I had done to one woman, I had to switch to Pranic healing, and she was instantly healed with no relapses.

There is something wrong with Reiki – which is probably why the PTB see no reason to stop it being promoted. In the bookstore, there are a lot of Reiki books, but not one on Pranic Healing (Choa Kok Sui was the Chinese Filipino who wrote the 3 books on it -- see Amazon.com),
or QiGong healing – because they work?  Interesting that Reflexology and Accupuncture (kissing cousins) have been approved for use, too. I have had  Reflexology done on me and it works.

It was easy to do distance healing in Pranic healing, yet it sometimes provoked ‘healing crises’ in some older people – one of whom was rushed to the emergency ward, and while there, things got ‘normalized’ (blockages cleared and the prana/chi did what it was supposed to) and the older woman walked out with her knee completely healed. Never had a problem with it after that – I know because she was in my Edgar Cayce Search for God group for months.

And I was personally healed of the Addison’s by a woman whom God sent my way in 2001 who had received (she said) an anointing from Smith Wigglesworth (v. powerful English healer). She laid hands on me and I fell to the ground (didn’t believe in that stuff!) with this heat going all thru my midsection, and 30 min later when I could get up, I felt fine. Two days later, I went to my doc and got some blood tests for the cortisol level and it was perfectly normal. Healed. I went back and thanked her. From that point forward, my Pranic healings were stronger. On self and others. (She later said that I got some of the ‘anointing’.)

I have not done Reiki since, nor do I let anyone else do Reiki on me… the one time I did, by my then Reiki master, felt like a spiritual attack and I was very dizzy, sick and had to go to another healer to have Pranic healing done – she felt ‘bad’ energy around me and had real ‘fun’ removing it! It left and I have shunned Reiki ever since.  I think Reiki is counterfeit healing.

Thanks for sharing the two articles – I have printed them off (with URL credits) -- printed in the texts for my personal library. Thanks.

I toatally agree with you.  Thanks for posting.

And Risen, thank you so much for that link!  {{Runs off to read the whole article...}}

I think thats  because you may be  thinking 2 dimensionally, the ahnu is a 2d representation of life feeding itself from within by implosion and exposion in balance, so i beleive chakras do spin all ways at the same time and we only notice certain things about them because thats where our focus is at the time.

Edit: In windows media player there is a setting called Battery: i see the truth, which shows an animated 2d twin vortex effect that reminds me of the chakras.
