    In fact, there is absolutely no one who is better. Let me clear up a common misunderstanding. Many people think that Reiki and energy healing are two parallel systems. In fact, Reiki itself is a mainstream branch of energy healing. The "energy healing" that people usually compare to Reiki mostly refers to other pan-energy healing methods such as singing bowls, theta, and quantum touch therapy. The core of which one to choose is not the quality of the system at all, but which one suits you.

    I met a postpartum mother two years ago. She was anxious for almost a year. She was nervous even when talking to strangers. She was first invited by a friend to do theta therapy. She had to follow the therapist's guidance to go back to her childhood. Later, she accidentally tried Usui Reiki. The healer didn't say a few words to her during the whole process. He just put his hands gently on her shoulders, neck, and lower back. She fell asleep while lying down. When she woke up, she burst into tears. She said that the "hard stone" in her chest that had been blocked for half a year suddenly loosened. Later, she regularly did Reiki once a week, and even her sleep improved a lot. If you ask her, she will definitely feel that Reiki is a hundred times better than other energy treatments.

    But not everyone accepts Reiki. There was a young man who worked in Internet operations. He went to the hospital countless times for migraine all year round but could not find any organic problem. Later, he tried singing bowl therapy. The therapist knocked the bowl with different frequencies on his head and temples. After the treatment, 70% of his headaches disappeared immediately. After doing it twice, the frequency of headaches dropped to only once every half a month. He still tells his friends that singing bowls are more reliable than Reiki.

    In fact, we often debate this matter in our circle. The old people who do Reiki always say that Reiki has a fixed inheritance, and the energy is directly received from a higher level of consciousness. Even if it is a novice who has just been initiated, the energy transmitted is pure and will not be affected by the emotional state of the healer. It is not easy. If there is a deviation, it is most suitable for daily maintenance and the treatment of hidden emotional problems; teachers who do other energy healing feel that the effect of Reiki is too mild, and other systems are more flexible. They can match tools and adjust methods according to the specific problems of the client. For chronic pain and specific stuck points, it is much more efficient.

    To put it bluntly, choosing energy healing methods is the same as choosing suitable shoes. Others are wearing well-fitting brand-name running shoes, but you have flat feet and your feet are full of blisters when you wear them. If you really want to try them, don’t worry about which one is “better”. Just choose something that looks pleasing to your eyes and feels comfortable. The one that can solve your problem is the best.
