Reiki and Christianity: Unmasking the Deception
Reiki Exposed: A Christian Warning About the Spirit Behind It
Reiki is a spiritual healing practice that has gained widespread popularity worldwide, often associated with health and well-being. It feels peaceful, even divine, but its roots tell another story. Reiki is not from God. It is a counterfeit system that taps into spiritual forces opposed to Jesus Christ.
Many Christians are deceived by the soft language of “universal energy,” “light,” and “love.” But as 2 Corinthians 11:14 warns us, “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” Reiki is another example of that deception—an open door to spirits that are not of the Holy Spirit.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “universal life energy.” Practitioners believe it is a healing force that flows through the hands to heal others. While it seems harmless or even helpful, it is deeply rooted in Buddhist mysticism and New Age practices.
The founder, Dr. Mikao Usui, was a Japanese Buddhist who claimed to have received the ability after fasting and meditating on Mount Kurama in 1914. He experienced what Buddhists call a satori—a moment of enlightenment. From there, Reiki was born.
Usui said he touched “an intense energy” that inspired him. But this inspiration did not come from Jesus Christ—it came through spiritual means foreign to Scripture. Reiki was never about God’s power but about channeling a universal force that supposedly unites body, soul, and the divine.
How Reiki Works—And Why It’s Dangerous
To become a Reiki practitioner, one must go through “attunement”—a spiritual initiation that opens a person to the flow of this “energy.” A Reiki master acts as a conduit, supposedly raising your frequency so that you become aligned with the universal force.
But what is this force? It is not the Holy Spirit. It is not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Reiki’s source is vague and undefined—often described as “Source,” “Spirit,” or “the Force.” This spiritual ambiguity is not harmless—it’s demonic.
The ritual includes the use of symbols, mantras, and the invocation of unseen forces. The energy enters through the crown chakra and flows into the auric field, mirroring Hindu and Buddhist concepts. This mimics the laying on of hands in Christianity but originates from a completely different spiritual kingdom.
Reiki opens doors to spiritual beings. These are not angels of the Lord—they are counterfeit spirits. Former Reiki practitioners often report supernatural sensations: heat in the hands, emotional waves, vivid visions, or spiritual peace. But none of it glorifies God. Instead, it glorifies self.
A Former Practitioner Speaks Out
One former Reiki master shared:
"It was real. My hands heated up. People felt better. But God was not glorified. I kept looking for the next level of mastery, new symbols, new wisdom—until Jesus filled the void. When I gave my life to Him, I realized Reiki couldn’t fit with the cross. I tried to merge them, but God said no. Reiki leads people away from Jesus, not to Him.”
This honest testimony reveals the spiritual hunger Reiki cannot satisfy. The peace it offers is temporary and counterfeit. True healing comes only from Jesus Christ (Isaiah 53:5).
Does Reiki Line Up With the Bible? Use Discernment
Ask yourself:
-
Who was the founder, and what was his spirituality? (Buddhist mystic)
-
What is the source of the healing energy? (Not the Holy Spirit)
-
Does the practice lead people to Christ? (No—it leads them to “spiritual masters”)
-
Is there scriptural precedent for such healing rituals? (No—God’s healing comes through prayer, not attunement)
-
Who is glorified—God or self? (Always self)
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 warns us against divination, sorcery, and calling upon spirits. These practices defile us and lead us into bondage. Reiki fits this description and is not a “neutral” healing art.
Conclusion: Choose Christ, Not Counterfeits
Reiki may appear beautiful, but it is not from the Holy Spirit. It is another scheme of the enemy to draw people away from Jesus. It is spiritual poison coated in healing honey. God does not need symbols, attunements, or rituals to heal—He simply speaks the word.
If you have been involved in Reiki, repent and renounce it in the name of Jesus Christ. Break the spiritual ties and close the door to deception.
