Some Points of Controversy
As in other Complementary and Alternative Medicine therapies, there are areas of controversy in Reiki.
For example:
- Since little is known scientifically about Reiki, accepting its
teachings about its healing properties and about ki is a matter of
faith.
- Some people believe that effects attributed to Reiki occur for
psychological reasons (such as the placebo effect or suggestibility),
or that there are no true effects.
- Some people feel Reiki is incompatible with their religious or
spiritual beliefs.
- Government licensing and regulation of Reiki practice is a
controversial area.
