Why Reiki is a Demonic Counterfeit
by a former Reiki Master saved by God’s grace and mercy
Many women unknowingly enter the new age in their quest for healing, when a friend recommends a healer she describes as someone gentle, intuitive, and “spiritually gifted.” And she may not have any idea what’s behind Reiki.
So she goes to the Reiki master and is told to lie down, relax, and receive healing energy from the universe. She may feel warmth, tingling, or a sense of calm. It feels peaceful, so she assumes it must be good.
But she has been lied to because Reiki doesn’t come from God. It’s not biblical healing, nor is it “natural” energy.
It’s a New Age counterfeit that draws its power from demonic spirits pretending to be light. I should know: I was a Reiki master, who gave and received Reiki energy before I was saved. As a Christian, I’m sounding the alarm that Reiki isn’t something that we should be involved in at all.
True healing comes only from the Lord, not from channeling “life force” or manipulating energy fields. Reiki masters use symbols that the spiritualist Mikao Usui channeled from demons. One of his students tried to argue that Usui was a Christian seminary professor, yet she later admitted she lied to try to make Reiki more palatable to westerners. The devil is the father of lies.
Reiki practitioners often call themselves “lightworkers,” yet remember: “Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:14). The next verse explains that we were servants of the devil, many of us not knowing that, and believing that we were genuinely helping people with our new age practices.
And just like mediums and psychics, Reiki practitioners are being used by the enemy (often unknowingly) to point people away from Jesus. Because going to an energy healer isn’t only about receiving false light. Most healers will also recommend new age books and seminars during the session.
Energy healing may feel peaceful, and may seem helpful, but Satan often starts with relief so you’ll keep following him instead of turning to Jesus.
Be very careful, because some massage therapists and chiropractors incorporate Reiki into their practices. If you go to bodywork appointments, be sure to say ahead of time that you don’t want any Reiki. They may argue with you that Reiki is fine, or even say that it’s Christian. Some people even blasphemously say that Jesus did Reiki during his miraculous healings. But stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
Don’t be deceived. You don’t need “energy work;” you need Jesus. Repent and believe in the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
