Spiritual Dangers of Reiki, Part 1
It sounds benevolent, but take a closer look...
Reiki is, according to the International Center for Reiki Training, “a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by ‘laying on hands’ and is based on the idea that an unseen ‘life force energy’ flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's ‘life force energy’ is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.”
Reiki is all the rage. Most massage therapists now do Reiki too. Doctors even prescribe it. According to the Cleveland Clinic, “Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-invasive form of natural hands-on, energy-based healing… that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch.”
Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? And just about any Reiki practitioner will have some incredible stories of “miraculous healings” to tell.
But listen to this…

In a recent episode of the Catholic podcast, US Grace Force, American exorcist Fr. Carlos Martins talked about how cases of demonic possession, obsession, and oppression have increased dramatically in recent years.
One of the culprits: Reiki sessions in spas and hospitals.
