105. "John Paul II warns with regard to the 'return of ancient gnostic ideas under the guise of the so-called New Age: We cannot delude ourselves that this will lead toward a renewal of religion. It is only a new way of practising gnosticism – that attitude of the spirit that, in the name of a profound knowledge of God, results in distorting His Word and replacing it with purely human words. Gnosticism never completely abandoned the realm of Christianity. Instead, it has always existed side by side with Christianity, sometimes taking the shape of a philosophical movement, but more often assuming the characteristics of a religion or a para-religion in distinct, if not declared, conflict with all that is essentially Christian'." 23. REIKI – MORTAL DANGER http://padrejoseluis.blogspot.com.es/2009/04/el-reiki-peligro-mortal.html By Fr. José Luis Aguilar Reiki, which is being widely dispersed in Argentina these days, proposes a "system of healing" by laying on of hands. In reality it is a very dangerous practice which opens the door to the dark forces, that is, the demonic. It is incompatible with the Christian faith. Let us see why:
St. Paul speaks of the cosmic powers of this dark earth (Ephesians 6:12). We know that as a result of original sin not only is man affected but that the harmony of the world has been destroyed (CC no. 400) and the energy of the cosmos has been perturbed by evil forces. "The whole world lies under the power of the devil" (1 John 5:19) Thus whoever opens himself to this "universal energy" opens himself to powers he does not know and that are not all good. 2. Reiki is transmitted by means of initiation seminars, in contrast to the gifts of the Holy Spirit which are not transmitted from one person to another but are received as a free gift of God. What is active in Reiki is not the Holy Spirit. (Besides, if Reiki were a gift of God it would not require the use of money). 3. Thus, the one who is initiated becomes a medium to receive from Reiki and transmit to others the same state of consciousness. It is in this state of being a medium that one becomes receptive to the entities of the world of darkness. Exorcists affirm that from first initiation the evil spirit enters a person. Those who in this way acquire the powers of the Beast are able to emit "healing vibrations" or conscious/unconscious messages that can influence, in a positive or negative manner, people, situations, animals and even matter. 4. The Reikist ends up opening himself to the so called "Master Guides" or "Spirit Guides" which are interior voices speaking to them. We may ask ourselves, if they are not Jesus Christ, nor God, nor the Holy Spirit, then who are they? Scripture speaks about these powers which direct the universe, and from which Jesus Christ despoiled the power of death (Colossians 2:15). I know of a person who when she wanted to leave Reiki, these "guides" unmasked themselves and began to insult and threaten her in many ways day and night, even with death. When she prayed the rosary they could not stand it and would beg her to stop. 5. Reiki is pantheistic, teaching that man is simply an emanation of the "divine cosmic energy" and that it is enough to be aware of this to obtain divine powers. Is it not the same temptation as that of the serpent, "You shall be like gods"? We believe we have been created by a good Father who wishes to share his love and happiness with us. 6. Reiki believes in reincarnation, that is, it does not matter what one does with one’s life, as there will be another one. It is incompatible with the Word of God that teaches that each person, body and soul, is unique, unrepeatable, and that we die only once and after that comes judgment (Heb 9:27), that we are responsible for all we do with our life. 7. Reiki, like other New Age practices, discredits Christianity as being guilt-producing and intolerant. It considers Jesus Christ simply as one of the many reincarnations of a great "Teacher" whom they know by means of seers and other occult communications. For Christians, Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God who shed his blood on the cross for the forgiveness of sin and to save us from hell, who rose to open heaven for us. 8. Reiki claims to heal all the levels of being – physical, mental and spiritual. Does it really heal? Apart from the fact that the suggestions produced in the psyche of the sick could initiate a process of self-healing, which has nothing to do the cosmological explanations they give, it could bring about a temporary improvement of health, but very soon symptoms make an appearance, the same which tend to follow occult or spiritistic practices, as well as other physical or psychic illnesses, divorces, etc. 9. How can one escape from Reiki? It is a difficult and long process because the devil does not let one escape easily. But it is possible because Jesus Christ is victorious over all occult powers/entities. Above all, a profound or deep conversion to Jesus Christ is required, as well as confession to a priest to sever all connection with the occult powers; prayer for deliverance, which any priest can do, and if required, an exorcism done by a priest-exorcist of the diocese. A true Christian life is required, daily mass, so as to be nourished with the Body and Blood of the Saviour, and to go through the spiritual agony which will follow. According to Fr. Amorth (exorcist from Rome) for those who leave Reiki, laying on of hands is not allowed for several years. 24. Reiki - fantastic claims and other New Age wonders! http://home.arcor.de/embajador/Reikidangers/Links/fanatic_claims.html www.christianreiki.eu – content from http://www.catholic-jhb.org.za/articles/reiki.html [a Johannesburg, South Africa charismatic web site that no longer exists] 106. The latest in New Age movements, Reiki, has reached South Africa, with various urban legends already circulating, namely that Reiki is a) Sanctioned by the Church, and that Pope John Paul II has attended Reiki seminars, and that various Priests and religious are running Reiki training sessions. Or as others would have it b) deliberately hidden secret "Gospels of the Apostles". Simply put, these claims are false and represent false teachings. At best, Reiki is sentimentalism (such as the past and future lives of a reiki practitioner’s pet); at worst it is false religion. From revisionist history to bizarre claims about Jesus Christ, Reiki is an experiment in the absurd. Web links Excellent Christian websites addressing the truth about Reiki:- WWW.REIKIDANGERS.ORG Some of the amazing claims of Reiki include: (these are actual quotes taken from reiki websites) A Brief Overview "The knowledge that an unseen energy flows through all living things and is connected directly to the quality of health has been part of the wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. The existence of this "life force energy" has been verified by recent scientific experiments, and medical doctors are considering the role it plays in the functioning of the immune system and the healing process." Reiki claims not to be a religion, but is "spiritual" nonetheless "While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it. While Reiki is not a religion, for optimum well being in the light of Eastern medical theory that we are a mind-body-spirit unity, it is necessary to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others. Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures." Past-life regressions? Dog's Miraculous Transition by Melinda DeBoer You may remember the article in the Fall Reiki News about Zeke’s healing from past life trauma manifesting as cancer. One of the greatest gifts that Zeke gave me was his love and passion for life. It was very hard for him to let go of his body. A psychic friend told me that a special ceremony would help Zeke release to the heart of God and would fill him with wisdom to make his choices....My psychic friend told me that Zeke will be coming back as a new species of Eagle to raise the consciousness of humankind. [Note:- Zeke appears to be a dog. That aside, a clear belief in transmigration of the soul from one species to another] http://www.reiki.org/reikinews/dogstransition.htm They also indicated the attunement process itself was a powerful healing experience, releasing restrictions relating to their healing work they had unknowingly acquired when they were healers in past lives. http://www.reiki.org/faq/howdoesreikiwork.html "His vision was confirmation of a past-life regression I had experienced in Palm Springs, California, in 1987. When we were in an altered state and told to look at our feet, I saw claws. Scanning the rest of my body, I saw a huge eagle. In that lifetime, I was able to transform my shape from human to eagle. I thought it was weird at the time because other people were having "normal" regressions, like queens and kings, Indians, Vikings, and so on, while I was flying around as an eagle! This past-life regression was in synch with my Reiki Master telling me that I was a shape shifter. I hadn't understood at the time, but after the regression it was instantly clear. Other past lives as a light being were verified through Reiki treatments when several people saw me as a body of light while I was channeling Reiki. There are two people I have worked on who have seen my spirit guide, an Eagle dancer." http://www.reiki.org/reikinews/reikin18.html Jesus Christ, not the Son of God, but merely (or possibly) a "Reiki Master", who also (possibly) spent time in the East learning Reiki spiritual mastery. "It is not known whether Jesus was born with the ability to heal through touch or if this was something he acquired. His activities between age twelve and thirty are not mentioned in the Bible. It has been suggested by several researchers that during this time Jesus traveled to the East and was schooled in many of the mystical teachings of India, Tibet and China. If this is so, it is possible that Jesus was initiated into Reiki, or a Reiki like practice during this time as Reiki has his origins in India, Tibet and China. The early followers of Jesus' teachings were made up of several groups. One such group was the Gnostics. They practiced laying on of hands and professed to have a secret knowledge that had been passed on to them by Jesus and his disciples. The Gnostics were made up of many smaller groups some of which were known as the Docetists, the Marcionites, and the Carpocratians. They were united by their core beliefs which included: a personal experience of Jesus or the "kingdom of heaven within," their freedom and lack of rules, guidelines or creeds and their reliance on inspiration and inner guidance. Their existence is attested to by the Gnostic gospels which are part of the Dead Sea Scrolls as well as a letter written in the second century AD by the early Church father, Clement of Alexandria. In Clement's letter, he spoke of a secret gospel of Mark which was based on the normal canonical one but with additions for special followers of Jesus, referred to as "those who were being perfected" and "those who are being initiated into the great mysteries." When Christianity became organized after the second century, its teachings were centered around faith and the official teachings of the church, rather than healing or "good works" and inner guidance as practiced by the Gnostics. At this time, those promoting the organization of the church began subduing and killing those Gnostics who would not conform with the authority of the newly developing Church. With the elimination of the Gnostics and the establishment of the Christian Church, the practice of laying on of hands by Christians was lost." http://www.reiki.org/reikinews/reikin16.html Reiki has miraculous healing powers "Reiki sessions cause patients to heal faster with less pain," says Marilyn Vega, RN, a private-duty nurse at the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital in New York. "Reiki accelerates recovery from surgery, improves mental attitude and reduces the negative effects of medication and other medical procedures." http://www.reiki.org/reikinews/reikinews.html Clairvoyants "In my work I have found it valuable to call on the services of clairvoyant healers to help with my own healing as well as to gain a better understanding of how healing energies work. One of the most clear clairvoyants I have worked with is Michelle Griffith. She has the ability to see and understand Reiki energy and tell the difference between different kinds of Reiki and other healing energies. In addition, she can read the aura and chakras, communicate with your guides and higher self, read past lives and help you understand and heal your issues. In the eight years I have worked with Michelle, I have never encountered an issue she was not able to help me with." The Healing Power of Symbols "I drew the Reiki power symbol on my hands and continued to do Reiki on myself, then asked her what she saw. She said, "Now I see the healing energy coming in your crown, but it goes right back out and forms a box of light around you - you are protecting yourself." Protection is one of the uses of the Power symbol! Reiki uses various symbols, including The Reiki Symbols Activating Reiki Symbols The Power Symbol The Mental/Emotional Symbol Healing Unwanted Habits The Distant Healing Symbol Using the Distant Healing Symbol Group Distant Healing Empowering Goals Hand Positions for Self-Treatment Alternate Treatment for Self or Others Hand Positions for Treating Others Scanning and Beaming Scanning Self-Scanning Beaming Giving a Complete Reiki Treatment" New Age gibberish Blessed By Spiritual Beings by William Lee Rand Reiki can by used to develop and strengthen your connection to spiritual beings. This can be a very positive and helpful experience especially when you choose an enlightened being or work directly with God. In fact, for the most part, I suggest when using this technique, you focus on only connecting with enlightened beings or with God as these level of beings are the most trustworthy and can provide the greatest help. By enlightened beings, I am referring to those who are one with God, free of all ego and filled with compassion and wisdom. These include Jesus Christ, Mother Mary, the Holy Spirit, the Archangels, Quan Yin, Krishna, Buddha, and others. Also, when I refer to God, I am not referring to a male or female God, but to the One Supreme Being who is beyond male/female, yin/yang etc. First decide which spiritual being you would like to work with. Choose one you are familiar with or feel guided to work with. If you are unfamiliar with enlightened beings, I suggest doing some reading about any of those mentioned above or any others you discover in your research. If you have any trouble deciding, I suggest you simply choose to work directly with God. 108. Once you have a spiritual being in mind, sit in a quiet place and say a prayer to the being asking to be more strongly connected with them and to receive their blessings. The use of a picture of the being can be helpful also. Then draw out the Reiki distant symbol along with any other symbols you are guided to use such as the master symbol and begin sending Reiki to them. As you do so, continue to pray asking that your connection become stronger and stronger. You can also pray for guidance for any project or issue you need help with, ask that your skill as a healer be improved and that your Reiki healing energies become more effective, or say prayers for others. http://www.reiki.org/online/june02/junenl02.htm Commentary Needless to add, Reiki is NOT associated with the Church, the Catholic Charismatic Movement, or any other Christian ministry associated with the Church. It is nothing other than pure heresy, which detracts from Jesus Christ as our Saviour and Lord. Clearly very popular, a keyword search on the Internet reveals over 3 million web pages devoted to Reiki. The writer found no websites dedicated to communicating the truths of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, and disclaiming the heresies expounded by Reiki followers. http://www.reikidangers.com/dangers.htm Wake up and be blessed with the Truth about reiki and hear the mercy call of Jesus Christ; "return to me and I will return to you" What the bible in 2Thessalonians 2-9, 11 tells about reiki is completely true; ".....through the activity and working of satan and will be attended by great power and with all sorts of (pretended) miracles and signs and delusive marvels - all of them lying wonders......11-therefore God sends upon them a misleading influence, a working of error and a strong delusion to make them believe what is false" If you take up the Bible and read in 2 Thessalonians, the chapters 2 and 3, reiki becomes very clear to us. When we pray for those who are asking for help after being in reiki and are being set free in Jesus name, then it's getting clear for them as well; Reiki is a tool that Satan uses nowadays! But there is Hope and an alternative for reiki, in Jesus. These written warnings and conclusions on these pages, are not to reject you, dear reikian, we love you in Christ, God loves you and sent His only begotten Son to the cross for all of us. We like to share with you what we know for a fact and we know that reiki works, how it works, but it is not what it seems to be. A clear conclusion out of all these different denominated Christian Churches websites is, whether Catholic, or Evangelical, or Protestant, or Pentecostal, they are ALL telling you the same thing about the deception and occult power of reiki! Reiki is not from God, nor from Jesus! Yes, even saved ex-reikimasters and ex-reikians confirm this, as those Christians who stopped with reiki and are set free after receiving prayers. Yes, even pastors and active Christians who are helping ex-reikians. They are ALL warning you about reiki and ALL of them are stating from different angles and out of their practical experiences in their daily life of serving God and living in this world. Underneath we present some of the conclusions, which you can take out of the many Church websites we found with the subject reiki; *That reiki is not of Jesus Christ, thus not from God, is also proven by an active Reiki Alliance Master who accepted Jesus, was being baptized, immersed completely in the water, rose up, became Holy Spirit filled. From that precise moment on, after 12 years, reiki stopped flowing through the hands, all the reiki symbols seized working and reiki left forever! So, reiki is not from Jesus Christ, thus not from God. (as you can read this in one of the website links we offer; reikireality) • that reiki works, but is non biblical and sinful. (as will be explained in the next pages to come, as in the Church-links) • that reiki clearly never was, nor could have been used by Jesus Christ. Although every reikimaster and reiki book is claiming that reiki was the healing method of the Lord. • that many reikimasters are initiating Christians into reiki and are telling them that reiki is safe and the Lord Jesus Christ was probably a reikimaster, as they are. (Matt.24-24) • that reiki is denying that Jesus Christ is the son of God, His work on the Cross and His resurrection. But lures people in reiki seminars by stating that you can learn to heal like Jesus did and after the seminar no-one talks anymore about Him, explaining that reiki is not a religion. • that reikians were serving and creating half-gods in reiki, by giving the glory of any healing to reiki as a spiritual entity above them. Are feeling “called” to convert anybody into a reikian and are practicing reiki upon others without asking or warning them. • that reiki can be used to manipulate and nowadays is mixed with other forms of the occult as, white-magic, black magic, witchcraft and Satanism. • Christian deliverance-ministries proves by experience that to undo the reiki initiations, every reikian and most certainly any active 2nd degree reikian or reikimaster needs a full biblical baptism, ... a deliverance-session , in Jesus Name. These strong prayers, to be set free totally, in Jesus name, again proves the occult nature of reiki. But coming Home to Jesus Christ, in the mercy of God makes it's all possible!! 109. Was this your choice and are you still sure that you want to be a part of this spiritually? This is between you and God and we just warn you and tell you the good news, too. In "reiki spirits" you will find a testimony of a lady who got saved by Jesus Christ after reading this web site, she writes; "The spirit-world is real, but no one- not even the reikimasters have a clue- of what is really going on. ONLY Jesus Christ can help us! If you are, like me, highly sensitive and take a reiki1 weekend, you're lucky. Because you will know that you are dealing with the devil; if you're not and don't have this, you will reap years and years fruits of the darkness. If you really would know from whom the reiki power comes and its plans with you, you would, like me start praying to Jesus Christ to receive the only TRUE LIGHT. I am going through a deliverance program of my evangelical Church right now, I want to be baptized, and my loved ones are looking amazed to all the changes in my life.... God is so great, otherwise this would have ended differently. " Return to Him and He will return to you........... Salvation belongs already to the sinner, just as He forgave us, you can be forgiven. Jesus came to set us free, to reconcile us to God; He died for ALL our sins. Jesus is risen and offers a better alternative for reiki, and holds a better Future! He loves you and waits for your decision........hear the mercy call of God! http://www.reikidangers.com/spirit.htm We reveal the spiritual problems and sins, so you can come to repentance, in the name of Jesus! Because His Word is; "for God did not send the Son in order to judge the world, but that the world might find salvation, and be made safe and sound through Him" (John 3-17) and if you repent remember; If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1-9) We love you reikians, this is not about you as a person, we want to warn you about reiki spiritually. We don not condemn you, but are revealing these spiritual problems and sins, so you can repent. We see the destruction of reiki at work and devastated reikians, knocking on our church doors for help. At the end of this page you will find testimonies of saved ex-reikians. That is why we are taking the trouble, the expenses and the time to make this site. We are Christians, because we dedicated our lives to Christ-Jesus. We call you reikians, as you have dedicated your life to reiki, as many reikimasters do. We know that Jesus loves you, just click on "Salvation" and repent for all the sins mentioned on this page afterwards, be blessed with Gods Grace! 1. Reiki is spiritual and it does work, but is not divine, not of Jesus, and not of God (John 14:7). There is a difference between angels and fallen angels (1 John 4:1-4); there is a difference serving God (Matthew 4:10), and serving reiki. Between giving honor to God and honoring reiki, after each healing. (Matthew 22:37) God Almighty, the Creator, who is our Father and is the Lord Jesus Christ's Father. He is, is so much more then which you call god; the universe, or cosmos or All there is, universal life force or any name you can think of. He is, God of all Gods, Our Creator (Gen1:1). So, repent! 2. Yes, it is sinful, sitting before a home-made altar (idolatry), with photo's of dead reikimasters (spiritualism), various objects, candles, incense (honoring spirits), praying and paying for and accepting reiki, thus authorizing a reiki-ritual performance to open the spiritual doorways for reiki energy and their spirits and afterwards serving in gratitude reiki and his reiki spirits. (Serving false gods, Exodus 20:1-6) So, repent! 3. Did you know that the demon behind the initiating reiki symbol of your reikimaster is called "DIA KO MIO" and is held secret and holy by a reikimaster? This reikimaster-spirit, which is summoned to open and connect you to reiki as a channel and itself, during the reiki initiations, is the "Phoenix who rises out of the ashes" .A demon who claims to be risen and is clearly not biblical and of Christian nature (1 John 4:1-4). Praise God that Jesus Christ came to set us free and succeeded! (Mark 16:19) So, repent! If you are a Pastor /Church, go to "salvation-prayer" and you will find more tools concerning reiki for your church!!! 4. When you use reiki daily, new spiritual doors open and if you give a reiki treatment to someone else, a spiritual doorway is opened in the life of this (unaware) person, through which the reiki spirits will have, or will make more access, to this person’s life. So, repent! 5. Yes, reiki works, heals and reveals many things, but after some time, you get in big trouble. Many reikimasters turn like; mentally ill, divorced, financially broke, or severe sick, mostly after some 10- 15 years of mastery. (Romans 1:18-21, Romans 2:5-9). The reiki alliance has a help line for supporting these sick masters, but no way reiki helps (Matthew12; 30-33). So, repent! 6. Yes, reiki is sinful, it is using reiki spirits, fallen angels, it is worshipping false gods, it is in contradiction with Gods Word, its healing people on the short term, but leading them to destruction on the long term, its rebellious to God (Titus 1:16) and reiki changes constantly, mixing itself with more occult practices like witchcraft, various gurus, magic and Satanism (Matthew 12:25, 26, 27). So, repent! |
