Reiki Power - Rick Warren Embrasses

The problem with Reiki Power

"Pastor Rick Warren - ... 'The Bible says that God wants us to be as healthy physically as you are spiritually."

Is Rick Warren telling the truth? Does the Bible really say that "God wants us to be as healthy physically as you are spiritually"?

No, it does not! Though Jesus often healed the sick and continues to do so today, our spiritual and eternal life with Him is far more important than our physical and temporary life on earth. The devil also heals but temporarily to take you deeper into occult or new age practices.

I'm a long-time deliverance person and have noticed those sensitive to electricity open themselves up to Reiki practices. Not only electricity sensitivity but also torment.

what is the true source behind its unseen force? Is it similar to the "intelligent" power behind Ouija Boards, Tarot Cards, shamanism, and Theosophy?

When was Reiki Discovered?

Reiki was "discovered" in 1922 by Dr. Mikao Usui "during a mystical experience on Mt. Kurama, a sacred mountain" in Japan. The Buddhist seeker soon began to explore the mystery of "mental harmony" and mind-body connection. Months later "he founded the 'Usui Reiki Healing Society."

what is reiki good for

"Reiki is a form of spiritual healing using "universal life energy" channeled through the practitioner to the recipient.... In the Western world, many practitioners use the standard hand positions.... The energy flows wherever it is required (spiritually guided) and can normally be felt as a warm sensation or tingling in the body... Reiki--

There are 3 levels of Reiki: Reiki 1 and 2 and the Master level.

Is this where American medicine is headed? With influential national leaders such as Pastor Rick Warren, Dr. Oz, and Dr. Hyman leading us into the dark realm of mystical holism, we have reason for concern. As God warned us long ago.

Divine healing only comes from the Lord Jesus Christ. No other source can heal permanently without consequences as the Lord does to those who cry out and deal with the spiritual roots of disease.

What is Reiki

Please note that the following is the belief system of those practicing reiki and not mine.

Reiki is the Japanese name for the universal life force, also known as Ki or Chi, the supposed subtle energy that enlivens all beings. The word is composed of two Japanese characters. Rei can translated as ‘universe.” Ki means life-energy or light in the sense of information. The two characters express the coming together of divine force and the human being, or the unification of body and soul.”

A Japanese Buddhist, Dr. Mikau Usui, discovered Reiki. He had fasted for 21 days on Mount Kurama in 1914. During this period, he experienced a satori, a realization of enlightenment. He describes his discovery: “When I fasted, I touched intense energy, and in a mysterious manner, I was inspired (I received the reiki energy). As a coincidence, it became clear that I had been given the spiritual art of healing.”

For Reiki to work it must be attuned. This is a short ceremony in which the reiki master/teacher acts as a channel to lift up a person’s spiritual frequency, supposedly opening one up to the universal life energy. During this process, something magical happens on the spiritual, non-physical plane. The process is similar to the Tibetan Buddhist empowerment practice.

The Reiki energy enters the body of the master/teacher at the charka at the base of the skull, just above the neck. The divine cosmic energy streams through this charka and connects with our physical existence. A connection between heaven and earth is made through emerald green-colored energy. As a result, the first etheric layer of the initiator and the one who gets initiated becomes one. This first etheric layer is our eggshell; it can be seen as a thin grey line against a white background. Opening our eggshells means you truly open up for the other person, no longer holding back or defending yourself or regarding yourself as a separate being. During this process, the reiki energy rolls in like waves from the skull charka of the master into both auric fields.

The universal life energy first enters the energy system of the healer, who passes it on, usually with the hands, to the healee. In the physical body, this energy travels through the brain and nervous system. Our energetical bodies travel through the charkas, meridians, and the central channel along the spine.

It is unknown what the origins, total quantity, and ways of workings of life energy are. It cannot be defined more clearly than stating that it comes from the Source, god/goodness, spirit, or the Force. It is an essential connection with divinity.

Meditation, yoga, and other spiritual practices best prepare one to do reiki.

To do reiki at its highest level you must go through three levels to reach the highest level of vibration.

The healing method consists of meditation techniques, breathing exercises, spiritual cleansing, the reciting of spiritual poetry, the reiki principles, regular empowerments, which gradually opened up the students for reiki (later on, the attunements were introduced), hands-on healing with several techniques, distance healing, use of breath and the eyes in healing, and the use of mantras and symbols in activating reiki.

Most of the time, reiki will be experienced as warmth, as if a blanket of loving attention surrounds you. But other sensations like coldness, tinkling, prickling, throbbing, shivering, emotional release, or memories popping up may happen.

Reiki has changed over the years as masters have channeled information from archangels, ascended masters, or other high spiritual beings. These masters also claim to be attuned to stars and planets.

Additional Information
The web has an enormous amount of information about reiki. Especially interesting is to do a search of the web using Reiki + Christian. Many of the sites claim that reiki and Christianity can work together. I believe this is very dangerous. Light and darkness cannot dwell together. Here is what one ex-reiki master says:”

"Reiki is very misstated and misunderstood by those outside the circle. Having been in it, I can tell you everything you need to know. I will tell you right up front that it was a hard one to shake, that it was genuine and beneficial, but it is decidedly non-Christian.

"I highly recommend anyone looking into it to just stop. Prayer is mighty and is our direct link to God through Christ. If we petition directly for healing, it may come. Our chances are far better if we have faith that it WILL come. As with anything we are to test, does Reiki point the practitioner or the client to Christ? No. Big no. It uses a Universal energy that is non-personal and can be manipulated. You can pray to God, the Earth Mother, Mother/Father God, etc. But it, in fact, leads you AWAY from Christ.

"It is all about what you FEEL in your hands, what you FEEL in your spirit, what the client FEELS in their body/emotions/spirit. In that regard, it is very, very real. My hands get hot, I hit a place of extreme peace and quiet, and I heal people who feel a tingle or hot spot. Their headache, menstrual cramps, emotional distress, bruises, whatever, goes away. But is God glorified? No way. Is it glorified? Yes. "If it is so good and right, why do practitioners go on to other things once they hit Master level? The teacher who taught me went on to [mystical] acupuncture and other new Reiki teachings. Always something else, something new, something you NEED to be a true master. Sound familiar? 

It is like everything else in this world but Christ. There is no lasting peace, no connection with the universe; there is a big void in your soul that is not going away. WE ALL NEED CHRIST! I told my wife when she questioned my stopping in my search for peace once I found Christ (she had followed my years of searching through New Age theologies, etc) that Jesus Christ filled the hole. All the puzzle pieces fell into place, and everything suddenly made sense. For a long time after that, I tried to make Reiki fit into Christianity, but it didn't. I prayed a lot about it. God firmly and solidly showed me in Scripture how it couldn't work. The two significant things against it, regardless of how well it works, are 1) it does not point anyone to Christ and, in facts, points people away from a single triune God, and 2) it is no different than all the pagan rituals in the Old Testament that would have people pray to the rain god or fertility god, etc. They must have worked, or people wouldn't have kept praying to them, and God's people wouldn't have been attracted to them. But either way, it isn't what GOD has asked us to do. Everything we need is in Him. We can pray for any healing we need."
