Is Reiki & Energy Healing Safe?

Listen to The Sadhguru Podcast - Of Mystics and Mistakes Is Reiki Energy Healing Safe Full episode link : podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/sadhguru/id347854569…

I am practicing Original traditional Reiki started in Japan. My reiki teacher always tells us that it is important we clean our own energy first because the universal Reiki energy goes through our body to the patients ; therefore, our body is considered as a pipe for the reiki to go through to the patients. So, we meditate everyday and make sure to clean and heal our own body and mind. We also study and practice mindfulness to have a healthy non judgmental mind. The founder of Reiki was a Japanese monk who studied buddhism. Practicing healthy mindful living lifestyle is a must for the real reiki practitioner.

Reiki healers are conduits of universal energy; we don't pour our own chi into our practice.

It's very strange that so many people who believe themselves to be spiritually aware follow this person. You can very obviously sense the fear, deception, and manipulation coming through as he speaks.. Blessings to all who are still looking external for a guru.

Reiki practitioners are not interfering or “meddling” with anyone’s energy, Reiki is universal life force energy that is naturally intelligent, if the person is not open to receive reiki, then it simply wont be and that’s okay too. I believe reiki finds you and is not forced on you or anyone as it is always for the highest and greatest good. When done with loving intention, a reiki practitioner does not believe they are healing the person but simply being a channel for them to do their own healing, in turn not operating from a place of ego but love. The idea that there are risks to reiki comes from a place of fear and that fear is being enforced on such a beautiful healing modality. What a shame, I disagree strongly.

Just because a person becomes famous, talks to all the celebrities, and appears on all the talkshows and builds ashrams, it doesn’t mean that he is a spiritual master. Even though he may look like one, act like one and talk like one. I hope people understand this one day. Sadhguru says energy healing interferes with someones karma , and this is against the divine will, and bunch of people who don’t have an in-depth experiential level of knowledge of energy healing believe him. History of human kind is filled with great master of spirituality who have all been energy healers and taught energy healing. Jesus Christ, Lord Budhi satva Mei ling, Yogananda ji and more… yet a self proclaimed guru comes and dismisses it all out of ignorance. Thankfully under the comments it is obvious many people don’t believe what he said.

Sadhguru himself has offerings where he trains common people to heal others. Nothing wrong with that. We are all interfering in each other's karma and distorting them by simply co-existing in the same universe. Does that mean that doctors should stop healing sick patients? Should I stop talking to my friends and neighbours because what I say and do may influence their energies? If the healing is consensual, my intuition says there is nothing wrong with it (provided that the healers are properly trained and take precautions to keep themselves safe as well).

As a Reiki practitioner, I love Reiki, I love holding that space for others & myself. I definitely believe it's important when you hold space for others as the 'healing practitioner' it is very important to detach yourself from your clients & people you connect with. I believe it's the same in any industry example ~ Homicide police detective not getting attached to a victim of crime, OR a paediatrician not getting attached to a child patient. ~ it is a shared space where a offering / modality is provided with the highest intention & great care. When taught in-depth knowledge of Reiki or any other Energy healing service you learn much on this. Not to be the 'wounded healer' who becomes attached to the outcomes & success of the people you have shared healings with I believe it's just important for people to be knowledgable about their offerings & take good consideration into self awareness & protection. You can burn yourself out from doing healings as a job, Just as easy as you can burn yourself out from having an office job. In Reiki & Energy Healing modalities you are not giving your energy & you are not taking someone else's energy. So a transfer of karmic issues cannot be exchanged from practitioner to client. I believe Sadhguru has a lot of wisdom to share with the world & I enjoy it listening to what he has to say. However on Reiki itself it seems there's a lack of knowledge, but with the knowledge he does have he obviously recommends against it. Which is absolutely fine. I feel important for all listeners from any of these videos, Yes listening to wisdom is important to broaden your own perspective, & No it doesn't all have to always resonate with you I think for people to learn or experience a reiki healing session they will be drawn to it by the Devine with Devine timing. It cannot be forced upon people & I think as a conscious person you will know when / if it is ever for you or not. It's no pressure it';s only completely simple & natural. Please know I only am sharing my point of view here because from my experience & knowledge of Reiki & Energy Healing

In Reiki we are invoking Universal Life force and pray that one may be healed, whole and complete And end the prayer saying that Thy Will Be Done. One is not trying to play Divine here but is surrendering the fruits of the prayer to Divine Will.

Having a big name & fame doesn't entitle anyone to speak publicly about certain non conventional topics where the knowledge or exposure it is limited. With all due respect, it clearly shows that Sadhguru indeed has some limited exposure to the healing modality of Reiki. This kind of statement creates more confusion among people.

I disagree with what this man is saying. The first time I healed someone, it wasn’t something I just decided to do. A feeling came over me and instruction as to what to do. A friend was said to have only 3 hrs left to live. I felt an extreme tingling in my fingertips and urgent message came to me to place my hands on him and pray. Energy came down from the top of my head and out from my hands into this person that was unconscious. He recovered and lived another 15 years. It wasn’t something I set out to do; it just happened and after that, when my fingertips started tingling, I knew I was supposed to help, and did. Each case is different. Sometimes in the presence of someone gravely I’ll, there’s no sensation in my fingertips. That lets me know that I’m not to do anything.

Last 18 years I am practicing Reiki, it is very safe, non invading.

Reiki stimulates systems within a person's body to heal itself. It is only juvenile to not acknowledge that, but a good practitioner knows and educates their clients to this.

Namaskar What a pity to hear these words of personal disapproval from Sadhguru. Peace, gratitude and protection for the love and the joy and healing connections that Reiki brought to so many people. AUM Shanti, AUM Shanti, AUM Shanti

I m a Reiki Grand master and i know that Reiki is a soothing healing process healingcphysically, and emotionslly. I dis agree that we r playing God with gloves on .We r attuned to the Usui Reiki Symbols in order to access the Universal life force energy for the benefit of all. Reiki is a boon to us, we do not take the negative karma of others. Once again we are only reiki channels,we dont give energy to others, but our clients draw energy from usas much as he or she wants.. We owe our gratitude to our Guru, Dr Mikau Usuiji.

Being a man of wisdom i cannot expect such remarks on reiki of which he is not at all an expert or master ...talking such absolute non sensical logic proves that he has some prejudice I lost all respect after hearing this Reiki first s miraculous healing power which can transform Self & world .. learn & experience it

Listeners are requested to make a deeper study of Reiki. I am an admirer of Sadguru but having been a teacher and practitioner of Reiki among other alternatives therapies, my experience is different.

“The source of creation got itself trapped in you, isn’t it so?” That last statement blew my mind. Wisdom with ruthless precision. 🙏

I would like to know to the difference between help someone giving food or something else and an energetic healing practice. Wouldn't be both a someone else karmic invasion?

There have been studies showing benefits of Reiki on hospital patients. We used Reiki in the hospital I worked in after surgeries. One of our surgeons had a Reiki practitioner in the OR during cardiac surgeries.
