    Your specific needs, the expertise of the healer, and your own preferences for receiving energy.

    Let me tell you a real case that I have come across in the past two years. Last year, a girl who worked in Internet operations came to me. She was suffering from severe anxiety and insomnia. She needed half a sleeping pill every day to sleep for more than 3 hours. She had previously seen a therapist who did quantum touch therapy, which belongs to the broad category of energy healing. After each session, she was really relaxed, but when she came home and touched work, she immediately became tense again, which lasted for up to 2 days. Later, she tried Usui Reiki's one-on-one healing three times, which was combined with remote reiki symbol charging. She didn't take sleeping pills for a week, and she was able to sleep for 6 hours a day, which she felt was magical. But I have also encountered the opposite situation. An uncle who had a knee operation suffered from chronic pain for more than half a year after the operation. His energy induction of Reiki was very weak. He said he felt nothing after each session. Instead, he tried integrated energy healing with singing bowls and crystal arrangements. After the first session, the pain dropped from 7 to 4. After the operation, he had 5 consecutive sessions, and he basically did not need to take painkillers when walking.

    In fact, there are always different voices in our circle. Most teachers who teach Reiki believe that Reiki has a clear attunement process and a fixed symbol application system. It has been passed down for hundreds of years and has a clear framework. Whether you are a novice learning or looking for a healer, the probability of falling into a trap is much lower, and there will be no such nonsense as some wild energy healing methods. However, teachers who do integrated energy healing feel that the fixed framework of Reiki can sometimes limit perception. After all, everyone’s energy status is very different. Some people are sensitive to sound waves, and some people respond to ore energy. Flexible combination of different energy healing methods can target the stuck points of individual cases more quickly.

    Speaking of this, it's like choosing skin care products. Some people like to use classic models with clear ingredients and fixed formulas. They are not easy to cause allergies and can be used with peace of mind.; Some people like to customize the formula according to their skin type, so that the effect is more precise. There is no right or wrong, only whether it is suitable or not.

    If you just want to get started and use it to treat yourself and your family on a daily basis, Reiki is actually very cost-effective. After learning the first level, you can master the basic methods of self-recharging and treating minor injuries. Several mothers around me have learned it. Usually, when their children have fevers or bumps, putting their hands on it and applying it for half an hour can relieve most of the pain, which is very trouble-free. If the problem you want to solve is more complex, such as emotional stuck points and inexplicable low-frequency states that have accumulated for many years, it is better to find a therapist who can integrate multiple methods. Maybe using it together with Reiki will have better results.

    Of course, we have to be honest. Whether it is Reiki or other energy healing, there is currently no large-scale clinical evidence from mainstream medicine. It is more about the subjective feelings of users. Do not deify any method. If it is ineffective or even uncomfortable, stop immediately. If you really have an organic problem with your body, go to the hospital to see a doctor first, and don’t delay business.
