Which is better, Reiki or energy healing?

To be honest, there is no standard answer to this question, and many people don't even understand it when they ask it - Reiki itself is one of the most popular branches of the energy healing system. What everyone compares by default is actually "attuned and inherited Reiki" and "generalized energy healing that integrates singing bowls, crystals, flower essences and other tools." There is no one overcoming the other, only whether it suits you at the moment.

I know a senior sister who has been practicing Usui Reiki for almost 10 years. She usually only does Reiki when she takes on clients. She always says that the advantage of Reiki is that it is “not picky” and does not require the client to have any foundation in energy perception. It doesn’t even matter if you come in half-believed and with the intention of giving it a try. As long as you are willing to lie quietly for an hour, the energy will be conducted along the way. Last month, she picked up a girl who had just entered her senior year of high school. She was so stressed that she could only sleep three or four hours a day for more than a month. She even took melatonin and did Reiki three times. After the second session, she fell asleep for seven hours when she got home. The girl’s mother later sent her milk tea to express her gratitude. The senior sister always said that Reiki has a high error tolerance and is too friendly to novices who have never been exposed to the body, mind and soul.

But the manager of the healing space I often go to doesn’t think so. He has half a cabinet full of tools, including seven or eight singing bowls, crystals from different origins, and various flower essences. He prefers to do customized generalized energy healing. I had a visitor come to me before. He worked in Internet operations. He worked overtime for more than half a year and was optimized by the company. He was suffocating and had no place to vent his anger. He went to his senior sister to do Reiki twice but felt "no feeling". He came here and he felt the right thing. Fang's shoulders and neck were as hard as stone slabs. He directly hit the singing bowl corresponding to the root chakra and solar plexus. When the first wave of vibration fell, the big boy shed tears on the spot. After more than a month of continuous adjustment, his whole state relaxed. He always said that Reiki is too "gentle". When he encounters cases with clear emotional stuck points and severe physical blockages, energy therapy combined with a variety of tools can be used to treat the symptoms.

Oh, by the way, there are always debates in the circle. Some people say that non-reiki energy healing is a gimmick, relying entirely on the therapist to fool around. Others say that reiki is an old thing and cannot keep up with people's needs today. In fact, after I have come into contact with so many cases and therapists, I feel that the core of both is never the "method", but the person who uses the method, and your own fitness. A while ago, a friend of mine wanted to relieve workplace anxiety. He first made an appointment with a Reiki therapist. When he went in and listened to the Japanese Zen music, he felt very uncomfortable.

To put it bluntly, the difference between the two is like if you have a sore throat and want to moisturize it, should you choose rock sugar snow pear or honey grapefruit tea? They are both soothing things. Some people like the freshness of snow pear, and some people like the slight sourness of grapefruit. There is no difference. If you try it yourself and feel comfortable and useful to you, then it is the best.
