Thank you for this insightful video. I was lost in the new age world for a couple of years, but was raised and baptized Catholic. By the grace of God, the Holy Spirit showed me the Truth- and that truth is impossible to ignore. Let’s continue praying for those who are being spiritually misled and that their hearts may open to Jesus. Amen

I'm a former Buddhist (born and raised) and a convert to Catholicism and Bryan is completely correct. Reiki is in no way Christian and its a shame that some Catholics practice it.

Bryan, I am so grateful that I found your channel. Your videos have been so edifying for me. I’m a cradle Catholic who was deceived in the New Age for some time and Praise God by the power of the Holy Spirit I was delivered from that life. I am concerned that many people who I follow online that I am learning about my Faith from dismiss these New Age practices as fake. The reason people become so deceived is that the experiences are very real. The Devil masquerades as an angel of light. I was Reiki certified and thank God never practiced outside of my home but had two family members suffering from kidney stones get complete relief from excruciating pain when I did it to them. Neither of them knew what I was doing. I am not promoting this in any way, only illustrating the experience. The question isn’t do these practices work (as many of them can seem to work including Reiki). The question is who is behind them. Satan absolutely deceives many because people have experiences which are very real and they think they are from God. Reiki, Astrology, mediumship, crystals, etc. I am so grateful that I was shown the Truth about who was behind all of these demonic practices. God is so Good. I fear that so many of the people being deceived in the New Age will never hear the Word of God because they are being told to not believe something that they have experienced with their own senses. The message shouldn’t be: don’t believe those practices because they are fake. The message should be: don’t believe those practices because they are not of God. When I found that out it shook me to my core and I got on my hands and knees and repented immediately. I had no idea. I was not well catechized as a child. Most New Age practices allude to God/Jesus as if they are part of Christianity and it makes many Christians feel like it’s not only okay, but even God’s will to be doing these things. I can still remember how I felt when I read Deuteronomy for the first time and I realized these practices were forbidden by God. I immediately threw out every single pagan item in my home (no small feat-I filled two or three construction sized garbage bags). When I tell you, I had no idea, I am being very sincere. Peace to you Bryan. I am learning so much about my Faith from you. 🙏🏻

God gave me great freedom, I was very ill due to obsessive compulsive disorder and I looked for a course in reiki. I felt worse, tired, irritated and told me it was normal, just a detox of bad energy. I am catholic and my heart was divided, I started to doubt what I always believed, my faith was shaken. Thank God on the day of the attunement I just felt a strong desire to give up.

THANK YOU! I am a Reiki Master/Teacher, attruned in October 2015. I couldn't figure out why I just didn't want to practice. I was hesitant and scared. I couldn't imagine that I would have the powers needed to heal. You have said it so clearly that I understand why now.

Thanks for making this video. I have a friend who told me they are recently getting into Reiki and it's not something I had any knowledge about other than the Church warns against it like all New Age and eastern spiritual practices as incompatible with Christian practice. This gave me something to start with.

Very well done and i absolutely love how you get right to the point, unlike other podcasts‼️❤️‼️

Hope you may include Third Eye and occult practice dangers in your next topic

I am a Reiki master therapist, but haven't practiced for several years. If it weren't for Reiki, I would never have gone back to the Catholic church. I met a wonderful Franciscan priest, Rev Joe, and he encouraged me to continue practicing and sent me people for Reiki . I would place my hands on people and picked up what was wrong with them. He told me to always send Jesus to the client. I'm sorry that there r individuals out there that r instilling fear into people's minds. It has helped me to grow spiritually and I'm grateful 🙏for having the opportunity to be exposed to it and the peaceful experience.

Thank you for this insightful video! Could you make a video about Christian charismatic healing? I’d really love to hear your full opinion on the subject!

Please pray for me.. for conversion and holiness and healing.... thank you

Thank you for this.

Awesome video!

I needed this.

Thanks you, this video is excelente, just went to the point, i was in new age, was a big mistake, but the mercy of The Lord, took me out from there. Im Catholic, lately I am meeting many catholic people in reiki, but they do not believe when I tell them that it is against Catholic doctrine, against God. I will send them your video, I hope it helps them, Thanks again. God Bless You.

Bravo Bravo Brother!!!

Thank you . That was very informative and you were very balanced. I know of many people into that stuff. Some of them I could tell , others would laugh at me and tell me about how bad the catholic church is. God bless you.

Thanks for this video I share with a not catholic friend , because I use to tell her about all of this hidden demons in all of this practices like yoga 🧘‍♀️ tai chi , etc etc etc.GOD bless you.

You hit the nail on the head with the spiritual side to reiki being demonic. I totally believe that!

Bryan, Thanks for this video. I'm surprised that practicing Catholics would fall for Reiki. It is so clearly false that it puzzles me that Reiki is making inroads into the Christian community. What makes counterfeit money believable is that it looks and feels incredibly like real money. The less like real money a phony dollar bill looks, the less likely it is to be passed successfully from one person to another. The same is true of counterfeit spirituality. So, as I said, I'm confused as to why Reiki is making inroads into the Christian community. "Truth is not based on feeling." -- Love that quote! Reminds me of another quote: facts don't care about your feelings.

My family member moved to Ohio from Los Angeles and begun a relationship the one of the local Catholic Parish . When she returned to us years later tolled us the nuns had taught her in the ways of reiki and the was qualified to heal anyone for $money like a chiropractor . We slightly mocked her and asked her to prove anything . She then pulled out a gold chain and moved it over my knees saying there was a issue in both knees . We laughed as we noticed she was causing the chain to twirl .years later I tore my acl on one knee and 2 years later the other was torn too . Whether if it was her satanic curse or just coincidence I’ll never know . Please stay far away from these practitioner of darkness for the are not of God . Use scripture to shame the to repentance . Thanks for listening Shalom and God be with you .

GOD BLESS YOU . DEUTHERONONY 18:9-14

Thank you Bryan. Just bought your book to read. I wanted to ask about this “we are all energy. Electromagnetic energy, quantum energy etc” I watched some NDE videos and some are very moving. They seem to depict all forgiving God, no judgement etc. I wondered whether we all go to paradise first except who are taken by satan then sorted to different levels of heaven and hell. It bothered me very much as I was a believer of reincarnation. One thing that I also believe is devil so I couldn’t accept people who turned away from church with this idea. I know I sound ignorant but please it would be really great if you can make a video about this. Thanks.

I love your utubes God love and blessings

I did not read your book yet but I have been reflecting on the topic of yoga and Christianity. I came to the point in my study that one led to Christ and one did not. So now I see. Also why you think Pope Francis not calling for more Rosary during this unrest.

Can you do a video on Rapè the shamanic medicine/ritual

Way back in the early 1990's, I was attuned to Reiki 1 and 2. That time was among my truly Dark times and also among my worst decisions, I had made to mess up my life. Nothing "promised" by my Reiki "Teacher" worked out the way it was supposed to! It took me decades to throw off this demonic thing and finally, I was able to fully renounce this dark energy away from me, with God's help. Reiki is evil, folks. It doesn't matter what Golden Promises anyone makes for you to be attuned to it. God and Jesus is the Only way forward, anything else is Satanic!

As Catholics we can pray over over People in the name of Jesus . We as Catholics put ourselves under Jesus and Jesus only. Anyone who performs Reiki needs confession and a possible exocism. Jesus heals when we Pray its the Holy Spirit coming down on us to be able to heal. I like Damian Stayne of Cor Et Lumen Christi (The light of Christ) who is practising the Catholic Charisms of Prophecy, Healing, Knowledge etc and he is training people up in this part of the Catholic Faith. The CCR also shows how to heal prayer, the Bible and the Sacrements, Baptism come first.

Where can i find local Christian healers? Any blueprint in getting those abilities?

Luke 8: 43-48 (RSV-Catholic Edition) talks about a woman being healed. Verse 46: "But Jesus said, “Some one touched me; for I perceive that power has gone forth from me.”" Does "power" = energy or virtue or grace?

Never tried Reiki, but have done Yoga in the past. Also, seen a medium once yrs ago.

I've had many people in my clinic for Chiro care or Acupuncture who practiced Reiki. Some masters. I always asked them why they are here? They in turn say "what do you mean". Then I say, well, you purport to treat people using this 'energy' that you pull from the universe. Why don't you use that same energy and just treat yourself. (Crickets)

I was a reiki master before I came back it’s demonic

I don't believe reiki is bad by any means. I am a Roman Catholic and I believe in energy transfer. Religion and science coincide with one another. You can not have one without the other. Thank you for your perspective though. I respect it

Do you guys believe God sends people to earth with spiritual abilities for the greater good of humanity?

Please pray for my boyfriend who is a Catholic that practices Reiki.

Thank you. This needs to be spelled out. We have many hubris infested people that want to be gods.

Agreed you are not wrong. Christians must not practice other religious practices... They are different ... totally. Do not.

I tried doing the crystal meditation thing and felt nothing. However they were special to me because my mom bought me an amythist crystal when I was like 11 years old and its always been here. The rest of them my dad bought them. I had this crystal that was tiny and it would always get lost but somehow my mom would find it on the ground. I felt bad for doing it though because God doesn’t give us signs. But on my return to my faith I did make a mistake thinking it was a sign from God to get rid of them.

In 9:49 says that William Rand tries to show a difference, that Reiki is just spiritual healing. Is Brian trying to support him on that or rather saying that William is wrong? Honest question. I don't understand the point.

Please explain what is biblical healing

Is the fact that you can't scientifically prove an energy that is claimed to be spiritual a valid argument against Reiki? That resembles the argument from atheists that God can't be scientifically proven.

Thanks! You have Patrick Coffin beat by a mile, but comparisons are odious. I'm on the lookout for your book! Amen not ommm!

Reiki is not Catholic Practice, I hear this in this channel for the first time, I will never agree with Reiki, and God cannot be energy, but God is creator, even created energy, Jesus healed people by his own power, being the son of God, He is a God and has divine power. 🙏

Hi. I'm just curious. What is your opinion on Pope Francis? Is he a man of God or a wolf in sheep's clothing. Also, what is the whore of Babylon in Revelation 17? God bless you and your family!

Check out Britney Spears when she used this practice, she had to move out of the house. Then Britney Murphy moved in, and died in the house.

Can Catholics do yoga as an exercise?

Comment

dr usui was also a christian, yes he studies a bupdism, yoga and other. i think a reiki is a gift from God. if you don't find for it you won't get it. i don't think the right way is to sit down and wait for God to get all you want. you need to learn to get smarter, not to sit down and ask - o God, learn me. Also in history no one was talking about electricity or radio wawes. is it bad or demonic? it's all energy. I think reiki is just one way how we can help to oursef or other if we want it.

The truth is..... Reiki comes from specific Religious practice... it has symbols and more and the founder was Tendo Buddhist , Mikaou usui..... This means that its from that religion and also deals with deities from that part of the world. REiki is not just hands on love and kindness... its a specific energy one Chanels... People have no idea that it comes from what Mikaou usui enlightenment and Deities pass that on to him. So no Reiki should not be practiced by Christians. Purely because its not of Jesus... Or the Holy Spirit. We have to draw a fine line.... because as christians all we do must come from the Church tradition , sacraments, Biblical scripture etc.... Be careful not to practice things outside of that... The lord is all we need.. the Holy Spirit heals us... In the name of Lord Jesus Christ. I was a practitioner and was a "Reiki master" so I know how it feels , and what it is about. I have left it as one should not play with what one does not know. If I was TEndo Buddhist / Shinto... sure I could practice it since it came from a lay priest mikao usui.... But I am not. Be careful those who are christian and want to do Reiki.. Please listen. I will tell you... Reiki is something and does do things within the body.. I have experienced this first hand... and can tell you more ... But its not of Catholicism or Christianity there fore.. Do not do it..

🕊️🌺🙏🏽👍🏾💯

The problem with bishops is that catholicd know many, well most of them are luke warm and we know they come with unbiblical comments and views. This weakens their position as teachers and when they try to correct, people disregard them, because "if they are wrong with that other thing, they are wrong with this".

Brother is pope franicis vaild pope? Can valid true Pope go in jewish synagogue and in muslim mosque n pray there n say that they don't need to accept Jesus n still can be saved what about benedict the 16th?

i would like to speak about this with you, this is not entirely true

Did Jesus ever prescribe pills to people who are sick?

haha "It's impossible to prove an unseen energy force". "science" "scientifically". What doesn't make sense is holding another religion like Buddhism, to "Science" but when it's your own religion (Catholicism) "God" is an infinite being, and man who exists in another inperceivable realm and science doesn't apply to that. Double standard reasoning, not applying the same reasoning to your own religion. Hardly any truth, because most Abrahamic religions are narcissistic authoritarian patriarchal religions.

Praise the Lord! Amen! This brings me an opportunity to communicate to Mr. B., we are going to save perhaps, fellow Christians, fellow Catholics practicing a version of Christianity, and every one of God's Children, Secular and otherwise, that we, as Christians, are sworn to CHRIST, to save. Christ told us, It is Written, He came to earth to exemplify and vindicate His Father's Laws for the whole World. Jesus came to earth to Strike a Redeeming Blow for Humanity, because Satan was winning on earth. Catholicism, Protestantism, Etc., are only FORMS of human being made religion, can be good, can be a mix, Can Be evil too, unfortunately Satan and his demons are still actively working always to infect any Goodness, or Rightness, or Holiness that try to grow. ONLY by Worshipping the HOLY SCRIPTURES by Worshipping GOD and GOD through CHRIST JESUS, are we Promised Eternal Life in Heaven with GOD and the HOLY HOST, Eternally. Catholicism and Protestantism, and other human being ism's (including reiki) are NOT going to Heaven. Lets be crystal clear about that. Read OUR GOD by HIS FINGER Revelation of Jesus Christ. Catholicism in it's entirety will be Immersed along with Satan into the Eternal Death of the " Lake of Fire " Protestantism which has now APOSTATELY (and Blasphemously) Legally Signed, in the Vatican, that it follows the Rule of the Pope. ROME. Thereby Protestantism is now legally, factually, actively, Worshipping Rome Catholicism, Thereby Protestantism has allowed itself to become Catholicized and is as well, DOOMED to the the SAME.... " Lake of Fire".... eternal Death, that GOD Promises, Catholicism. Catholicism and Protestantism WILL NOT BE GOING TO HEAVEN, (and neither will reiki, reiki is a counterfeit technique that is outside of Christ's teachings of healing, therefore it's not genuine, not of Christ) CATHOLICS and PROTESTANTS World Wide have TWO CHOICES By GOD and GOD ALONE. Either keep Worshipping together in a Human made Religion that GOD Himself tells us in His Holy Scriptures is NOW Deceiving the Whole World, in the coming end of the world, (I think we all realize it's not far off) OR , Restart Worshipping God and God alone and His Holy Scriptures, OUTSIDE of the Man Made Religion, which GOD gave us to KNOW is evil, in His Perfect Writing 2000 Years ago from Apostle John, who was chosen ALONE by God and Christ Jesus, NOT chosen by inferior Human Men later on counterfeitly claiming a relative of Them or him. God Bless our World!!! , and let us ALL turn to GOD, Christ Jesus, and Holy Scriptures, Alone!!! and turn away from Anything that is Not of GOD's. Amen! Amen!

Also..may I point out NOOOWHERE IN THE BIBLE DOES IS SAY GOD MADE MAN...IT SAYS HE MADE LIGHT HEAVEN AND EARTH..IT THEN SAYS AND MAN WAS MADE IN HIS IMAGE BUT IT DOES NOT NOT NOT STATE WHOM MADE THAT MAN...THERES A REASON FOR THAT..GO FIND THE REST OF THE STORY AND U WILL SEE WHAT THAT REASON IS

I belive God is energy coz how bible describes God but i don't beleve in new age

I am not a fan of Reiki but I am not liking the tone you took with that woman. We are the Church not just the bishops or the Pope. By our baptism, we are the church.

The dangers of catholicism should be the next agenda. Research, ask for the Holy Spirit to dwell within. It' s not Biblical according to the Holy Book. God Bless.. Only Jesus can forgive, and is our only mediator, not Mary, not Peter, no Pope, no priest, only Christ. In Jesus' s Mighty Name, I pray for the light to shine bright in the eyes that have been blinded by false doctines, Amen & Amen

Catholic theologians like the apologist Mercier here have a lot to learn from Orthodox theology especially the Greek Church Fathers who have distinguished God in his Essence and Energies. The essential is totally unknowable and it is the energies that we know and experience especially the Holy Spirit as power, force, or energy. Similar to the Charismatic healers mentioned by Mercier, what Reiki practitioners do in the laying on of hand is called Epiklesis that is they call down on the Holy Spirit who as Ki - or Qi or Prana, do the healing. This is the gift of healing being given by the Holy Spirit. Because we Catholics lack the theological framework and categories about this, we are poorer by our inability to receive this gift and not able to see the Holy Spirit at work in healing here because the categories of this system is alien to and originated outside the Catholic faith. This sweeping magisterial Catholic condemnation of Reiki is more of the symptom of the Catholic poverty in theology which has not been nourished by Greek Patristics. What Catholics have is only the Latin Patristics which simply takes God in his Simplicity and not the distinction of his Essence and Energies. As a primary example Augustine and Aquinas for all their brilliance never cared to study the Greek language and sadly never studied in-depth Greek theology and understanding of the Bible. Had they and our line of Catholic theologians through the two millennia done so, our doctrinal police today could have been more generous and positive in their assessment and judgment of Reiki. A robust Pneumatology and Theology of Religious Pluralism nourished by both Latin and Greek patristics can further deepen our Catholic faith and overcome what some theologians call as Holy Spirit Atheism, Binity (not Trinity) Limitations and subsequent inability to see and identify the Holy Spirit in its Asian revelations as Ki or Qi or Prana or others. We need more openness in listening this time not only to Church magisterium but more also to where and how the Holy Spirit is blowing and leading the Church into. Afterall the Spirit in Asian languages is identified and called even with qualifications by Catholics as Ki or Qi or Prana who Jesus called “the Spirit of Truth” (John 16:13).

So you’re saying that you don’t believe in quantum energy. We may not know everything about the quantum field but we definitely know that it’s energy. everything is energy what else could it be. You are misleading people away from living a pain free life. shame on you!

We cannot do what Jesus did! He was divine and we are not!

U seen star wars 3 that's why u need a "master" ... I can tell u have a lot of knowledge probably more then me but yet the church decides ur beliefs like law?

Reiki is just a good role play for ASMR videos and useless otherwise.

Gospel of Thomas oh wait they took that out of the bible

This is a biased view point based off your title name so I’m saying this video is rather subjective than objective

pray the rosary,, go to confession, take the Eucharist...
