Reiki is not a religion.  It is not directed in any way by anyone and cannot control anyone or any thing.  It is energy and is available to anyone who wishes to heal themselves. 

The power of prayer heals, power of universal energy heals, meditation heals.   Open your heart and your mind so you can heal your mind, body and spirit. 

Reiki and Healing touch therapy are similar in the ways energy healing is used.  Traditional Reiki and Karuna Ki (compassionate healing) are combined.
