Everywhere I read about reiki, there was some christian condemning it, as well as some priests. What do you think of it. Is it that evil? Or are people just afraid of what they don't understand. and that is all? Thanks.
Well, there's the fact that the concept of
ki is speculative, so there's no proof that the energy reiki claims to tap into even exists. Then, there's the very close association with Buddhism, especially its more esoteric schools (the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai is still very much a hermetic society). So the practice is considered largely incompatible both with Christianity, as a 'gateway to Buddhism', and with science.
