Do I have to believe in Reiki to get a good result from treatment?

No. It’s not like a psychological method of treatment or hypnosis or other kind of mental method. There is no need to have a consent or admiration. It doesn’t matter if you doubt, reject or deny it. For example, it is effective to children and very ill people who are not aware of any consciousness, such as a doubt, rejection or denying. There may be one out of ten who believes in my method before a treatment. Most of them learn the benefit after first treatment then they believe in the method.

Is Reiki like meditation?

Many people report that Reiki brings effortless quiet and focus to the mind, similar to concentration meditation. However it is possible to do Reiki without focusing your mind.

Is Reiki massage?

No. Massage involves pressing and manipulation of muscles and pressure points. In Reiki, the hands of the practitioner are gently rested on the body of the recipient, unmoving. Reiki can also be practiced without touching the body at all.
