Listen to The Sadhguru Podcast - Of Mystics and Mistakes Is Reiki Energy Healing Safe Full episode link : podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/sadhguru/id347854569?i=1000605088466

Reiki practitioners are not interfering or “meddling” with anyone’s energy, Reiki is universal life force energy that is naturally intelligent, if the person is not open to receive reiki, then it simply wont be and that’s okay too. I believe reiki finds you and is not forced on you or anyone as it is always for the highest and greatest good. When done with loving intention, a reiki practitioner does not believe they are healing the person but simply being a channel for them to do their own healing, in turn not operating from a place of ego but love. The idea that there are risks to reiki comes from a place of fear and that fear is being enforced on such a beautiful healing modality. What a shame, I disagree strongly.

I am practicing Original traditional Reiki started in Japan. My reiki teacher always tells us that it is important we clean our own energy first because the universal Reiki energy goes through our body to the patients ; therefore, our body is considered as a pipe for the reiki to go through to the patients. So, we meditate everyday and make sure to clean and heal our own body and mind. We also study and practice mindfulness to have a healthy non judgmental mind. The founder of Reiki was a Japanese monk who studied buddhism. Practicing healthy mindful living lifestyle is a must for the real reiki practitioner.

Reiki healers are conduits of universal energy; we don't pour our own chi into our practice.

As a Reiki practitioner, I love Reiki, I love holding that space for others & myself. I definitely believe it's important when you hold space for others as the 'healing practitioner' it is very important to detach yourself from your clients & people you connect with. I believe it's the same in any industry example ~ Homicide police detective not getting attached to a victim of crime, OR a paediatrician not getting attached to a child patient. ~ it is a shared space where a offering / modality is provided with the highest intention & great care. When taught in-depth knowledge of Reiki or any other Energy healing service you learn much on this. Not to be the 'wounded healer' who becomes attached to the outcomes & success of the people you have shared healings with I believe it's just important for people to be knowledgable about their offerings & take good consideration into self awareness & protection. You can burn yourself out from doing healings as a job, Just as easy as you can burn yourself out from having an office job. In Reiki & Energy Healing modalities you are not giving your energy & you are not taking someone else's energy. So a transfer of karmic issues cannot be exchanged from practitioner to client. I believe Sadhguru has a lot of wisdom to share with the world & I enjoy it listening to what he has to say. However on Reiki itself it seems there's a lack of knowledge, but with the knowledge he does have he obviously recommends against it. Which is absolutely fine. I feel important for all listeners from any of these videos, Yes listening to wisdom is important to broaden your own perspective, & No it doesn't all have to always resonate with you I think for people to learn or experience a reiki healing session they will be drawn to it by the Devine with Devine timing. It cannot be forced upon people & I think as a conscious person you will know when / if it is ever for you or not. It's no pressure it';s only completely simple & natural. Please know I only am sharing my point of view here because from my experience & knowledge of Reiki & Energy Healing

Just because a person becomes famous, talks to all the celebrities, and appears on all the talkshows and builds ashrams, it doesn’t mean that he is a spiritual master. Even though he may look like one, act like one and talk like one. I hope people understand this one day. Sadhguru says energy healing interferes with someones karma , and this is against the divine will, and bunch of people who don’t have an in-depth experiential level of knowledge of energy healing believe him. History of human kind is filled with great master of spirituality who have all been energy healers and taught energy healing. Jesus Christ, Lord Budhi satva Mei ling, Yogananda ji and more… yet a self proclaimed guru comes and dismisses it all out of ignorance. Thankfully under the comments it is obvious many people don’t believe what he said.

In Reiki we are invoking Universal Life force and pray that one may be healed, whole and complete And end the prayer saying that Thy Will Be Done. One is not trying to play Divine here but is surrendering the fruits of the prayer to Divine Will.

It's very strange that so many people who believe themselves to be spiritually aware follow this person. You can very obviously sense the fear, deception, and manipulation coming through as he speaks.. Blessings to all who are still looking external for a guru.

Sadhguru himself has offerings where he trains common people to heal others. Nothing wrong with that. We are all interfering in each other's karma and distorting them by simply co-existing in the same universe. Does that mean that doctors should stop healing sick patients? Should I stop talking to my friends and neighbours because what I say and do may influence their energies? If the healing is consensual, my intuition says there is nothing wrong with it (provided that the healers are properly trained and take precautions to keep themselves safe as well).

Reiki stimulates systems within a person's body to heal itself. It is only juvenile to not acknowledge that, but a good practitioner knows and educates their clients to this.

Being a man of wisdom i cannot expect such remarks on reiki of which he is not at all an expert or master ...talking such absolute non sensical logic proves that he has some prejudice I lost all respect after hearing this Reiki first s miraculous healing power which can transform Self & world .. learn & experience it

Having a big name & fame doesn't entitle anyone to speak publicly about certain non conventional topics where the knowledge or exposure it is limited. With all due respect, it clearly shows that Sadhguru indeed has some limited exposure to the healing modality of Reiki. This kind of statement creates more confusion among people.

Namaskar What a pity to hear these words of personal disapproval from Sadhguru. Peace, gratitude and protection for the love and the joy and healing connections that Reiki brought to so many people. AUM Shanti, AUM Shanti, AUM Shanti

I have upmost respect for Sadghuru. He has a valid point, it’s important that you do not interfere with soul free will. Moreover after 22 years working in the holistic & spiritual arena field I see so many people whom are giving reiki and energy healing that are not cleansing their energy field correctly nor working on themselves. There needs to be more education on this. Everyone is unique in their healing journey and some energies need to stay as part of your higher good.

Last 18 years I am practicing Reiki, it is very safe, non invading.

I m a Reiki Grand master and i know that Reiki is a soothing healing process healingcphysically, and emotionslly. I dis agree that we r playing God with gloves on .We r attuned to the Usui Reiki Symbols in order to access the Universal life force energy for the benefit of all. Reiki is a boon to us, we do not take the negative karma of others. Once again we are only reiki channels,we dont give energy to others, but our clients draw energy from usas much as he or she wants.. We owe our gratitude to our Guru, Dr Mikau Usuiji.

I truly admire Sadguru for his great wisdom but in this case I differ. For performing any such practice of energy healing one needs to first practise proper spiritual detox. Only when one feels healed and whole then only they are ready to heal others. That is why I take good learning from all gurus but don't follow anyone blindly. Always filter every information through your own body's wisdom and see if it is coming from the place of love and light or maybe lack of awareness or ego of anyone.

There have been studies showing benefits of Reiki on hospital patients. We used Reiki in the hospital I worked in after surgeries. One of our surgeons had a Reiki practitioner in the OR during cardiac surgeries.

I believe that a person will be healed when they are entitled to be healed. It will not become a part of the healer’s responsibility unless the healing was done without consent. Energy healers are just like medical doctors. If a person is entitled to be healed they will come across a modality that will heal them either it is energy healing or the traditional way of healing.

As a Reiki Practitioner and also a Doctor, I can say that the same way, I can’t prescribe a medicine or perform a surgery on someone by force - even if it’s for their own good - I can’t use Reiki or any sort of Holistic treatment without the permission of the client. (What if the person is in danger but in coma, and obviously can’t give permission? There are specific ways to circumvent that. It can work or not).

“The source of creation got itself trapped in you, isn’t it so?” That last statement blew my mind. Wisdom with ruthless precision. 🙏

Listeners are requested to make a deeper study of Reiki. I am an admirer of Sadguru but having been a teacher and practitioner of Reiki among other alternatives therapies, my experience is different.

I disagree with what this man is saying. The first time I healed someone, it wasn’t something I just decided to do. A feeling came over me and instruction as to what to do. A friend was said to have only 3 hrs left to live. I felt an extreme tingling in my fingertips and urgent message came to me to place my hands on him and pray. Energy came down from the top of my head and out from my hands into this person that was unconscious. He recovered and lived another 15 years. It wasn’t something I set out to do; it just happened and after that, when my fingertips started tingling, I knew I was supposed to help, and did. Each case is different. Sometimes in the presence of someone gravely I’ll, there’s no sensation in my fingertips. That lets me know that I’m not to do anything.

I see Reiki like a tool, to make healing energy more accessible to others, as is medicine in sickness… 🙏🏻 It should be performed with responsibility of course, taking care of the attuned and ourselves too…

Beyond grateful for reiki healing and the universal consciousness

Dear Sadguru, I have never come across you before now. From my own experience as a Reiki practitioner and teacher I can verify that I have never ever told any client that I can heal them. The Reiki practitioner is a channel for healing to take place. Each person has to take on the responsibility to heal themselves you can not do it for them. Reiki and energy modalities are ancient practices. If someone concerned about taking on others karma they are not practicing Reiki. They are acting out of fear and worry. If someone consents to a Reiki hands on session, from my own experience, both the giver and receiver benefit and feel refreshed and energised. Everything is karma. We are given what we need just as your disciples come to you for advice. You are yourself are influencing karma. You could also be denying someone the benefit of Reiki if they take everything you say as the gospel without thinking and trying for themselves if it is of any benefit.

This is why healers need to work on themselves in such a way that healing themselves equals healing others just by default. The new era of healers don’t perform healing. They’re just being themselves and those in their presence are healed if they so choose.

I would like to know to the difference between help someone giving food or something else and an energetic healing practice. Wouldn't be both a someone else karmic invasion?

Wow... I'm speechless... So now using a power that God gave us all is playing to be God. We are all pieces of God, we are not separated at all. Love and light and follow what you heart tells you, not what a man says ❤ Namaste

"I can't teach anybody anything ; I can only make them think !" - Socrates.

Have been practicing Reiki for years now. There's nothing negative in this modality. It is divine and gentle. Unfortunate that Sadhguru doesn't understand what Reiki is.

Reiki is safe.

May all beings be healthy, be happy, be well and be free. Including ourselves.

But I’m confused. What is the difference between a Guru initiating the awakening of his students versus a Reiki practitioner healing his students

I genuinly wonder, what's the difference between "helping" and "meddling"? I thought reiki was just raising the vibes, the same way dancing, singing and helping others in general is

He isn’t wrong though. Many are “practicing” these modalities and do not know what they are doing, but do it out of a state of power or ego.

Some of these gurus knew and practiced high level spirituality in hiding and in secret … But now everyone is getting the understanding and they feel some kind of way

I'm confused now I seriously am confused cause I used to like Sadhguru and this video is taking me somewhere else

Around energy, inside of me energy, energy flows from all sides .... I am full of energy.... I am energetic

can we have more videos that address risks like these, so that people can take precautions wherever necessary? P.S : to the replies to this comment, i don't mean Reiki in specific. i mean just about anything related to which one should know things before they attempt it.

Did not understand a word or the message

I have been doing Reiki for 8 years now and I’m a Reiki Master Teacher! There is nothing you can do to harm anyone as you are simply a vessel for healing to occur through you to help another! There are divine beings, angels guides that work with the practitioners energy to help someone else through us practitioners! We are not the healers but a vessel! So that being said everyone has free will we can not meddle or harm anyone period! It’s helped many many people in my family with medical issues and cancers! I’m forever grateful for Reiki healing!! ❤❤❤🙌💯🙏😇

So he's saying that doctors play God???

Following his advice, no one should even speak, because words are vibrational frequencies and cause emotions (positive or negative), these emotions alter the energetic system of the person that has listened, but,for some reason, he speaks a lot...

Namaskaram, Does anybody know the song played at 3.31?

It's also important to consider that if you have the capacity to heal and someone crosses paths with you IS FOR A REASON. Life doesn't happen randomly and if a person needs, and is ready to be healed, it's probably because that person has overcome, or ready to overcome, that Karma load on himself and all you're doing is channeling this divine will to heal that person. I think refusing to channel this divine light to the ones who ask directly from you is a type of egoistic act based on fear. Whoever is ready to heal will heal, whoever is not won't.

Namaskaar sat guru...🙏

.. everyone has a choice and their own beliefs, right-thank you for everything u share ❤

reikki is how well help me in this way //this was my journey //is only good energy //but i do have both //like neza //no he is hear for me //to help in my mission to realise and bring peace and happiness with his loving and shadows it comes with //one does not travel without the other //you must understand this posative energy has its oppasite //but i help guide this energy or use it like a weapon //this is what they have given to help spread the loving most powerful energy //i only move to their energy soblame them not me //your loving most humbless hear to serve forgive me i have only recieved

Do Doctors also run the risk of taking on the karmic patterns of their patients ?

I think a huge aspect isn't just the taking on of the patient's karma but that sometimes you may relieve someone of a certain amount of whatever termoil they are in but that doesn't necessarily cure them of the actions they are taking in life that brought them to that place so there a chance they could fall right back into the same issue and keep using reiki as the solution rather than doing the work needed to be solid in themselves and no longer need the reiki.

Foundamentally we are all spiritual beings going through human's experience. Spiritual practice and growth is calling from within. I truely understand all rooted lessons are "must" for our own wakening, simple while infinite. The same question I am asking myself, any spiritual advice or enlightenment from highest greatest good for oneself, isn't it karmic or not. Now I think it might be also part of my soul journey to explore. Right now, I am coming from a place that my intention aligns with my mind, my heart, from a place of no ego, no willpower of myself to control consequence. I look at myself just a conduit and somehow, I never feel so peaceful. I am grateful for all of your beautiful, marvelous souls providing me endless life experiences to refine myself. Namaste.🙏

Namaskaaram guruji 🙏

Also why aren't they talking about pranic healing why Reiki 🤡

Reiki is a healing modality that is safe and does not ‘meddle’ with people’s energies. In Reiki we draw upon the Universal Life force and simply pass it on to the recipient of Reiki. We cannot and will never absorb any of the karmic energies from the recipient because it is a one way flow.. Infact as we give Reiki to someone, we also get healed in the process. I believe that the life force energy comes from the throne of the creator and we simply facilitate to pass it on. Reiki practitioners are not healers, just facilitators. There are other forms of energy healing and Sadhguru ji is probably referring to those. But Reiki is not what he is talking about, Reiki is simple and gentle, and the only role of a Reiki practitioner is to facilitate the process…the healing and energy balancing happens because of the Universal Life force…and not us. So there no question of meddling with the energies etc. That is different from Reiki and yes should not be ventured into. 🙏🏻

Thanks for guiding.

@sadhguru thank you in advance for reading this id like to ask what are your thoughts on this 5d shift our 3d earth is going through? Now that we are out of the kali yuga i believe and into the age of Aquarius, our golden age for consciousness?

I believe in Reiki healing technique from Universal Energy, but as a healer or instrument,as we channel universal energy into our hands & body towards a certain person we should clean ourselves also, so that whatever negative energy a healer have will not transfer or absorb by the receiver.

I’m conflicted. I have a lot of respect for Sadhguru, but my experience with reiki has been positive. Especially when paired with sound. Now, if you think it’s going to solve all your problems you will be disappointed. I don’t think it can clear your ‘karma’ . It might move some stagnant energy, but that energy will return if you don’t meditate and work on yourself and your distortions. But, I feel it’s a lot easier to work on myself when I’m not distracted by constant discomfort. Sometimes when blockages move it’s easier to understand what’s bringing them back. You’ll notice thought patterns or habits a little easier. That, gives you a bit of a road map. It’s a tool. And I think any tool can be misused. I don’t think the tool is bad.

We do laying on hands whenever we feel pain...or when someone is hurt

He completely misunderstands the role of the “healer.” The practitioner is not doing anything but facilitating the process. The patient is healing themselves. Self healing Self. This is the practice.

I have my neighbor who practice Reiki, boy ,this lady is in and out of hospital for every sort of sickness ,she had cancer 5 yrs ago. Nowadays she said she had enough of going to hospital ,I feel so sorry for my neighbor.❤

I emphatically disagree with you. Reiki is unconditional universal love energy. I'm astonished over your viewpoint.

Your Simply A Guide For The Other Person, A Physical Guide To The Spiritual Realm, A Channeler Of Divine Source. You Can Show Someone Out Because You Know Where Out Is. Yes You Can Get Consumed Too But You Go In With A Rope, That Rope Is Your Wisdom And Memory Of The Way Out. Some Don't Know How To Tape In, So You Guide Them With The Possibility Of Being Lost Yourself. Your Divine Light Is Bright Enough To Nevigate Through The Darkness, You Don't Stay In Too Long, Just Enough To Guide A Person Back Home. You've Master All Levels, The Person Your Helping Is Stuck On One, Which Means They Have No Knowledge Of The Other Or The Ability To See Over That. But You Can See All The Realms/ Levels That Person Has To Face (As You Have Done The Work Required). You Lower Your Vibration To Give Them The Proper Help Needed For Where They Are At Now. You As The Healer Needs To Take Great Care Of Yourself, Protect Your Own Energy And Do The Work Required To Be Prepared For Your Lightwork. Peace Love & Healer To All😌💜 APTTMH🙏🏽

In reiki the person in just channeling energy... While in pranic healing the healer is making exchange of energy so he can pick up bad energy...

What if you are healing yourself using reiki? What will happen then?

Jai SADHGURUDEVA

I don’t think that Dr Usui was a drop out 🫣 after hearing this I’m now unsure about Sadhguru.

Si una persona hace de vehiculo para la divinidad hacia la sanación, no hay problema. El problema sería cuando alguien cree que es su "yo" el que hace eso. Jugar a ser dios no es lo mismo que dejar que dios se exprese a través de ti siendo consciente de ello. Abrazos

I love you but saying that it’s irresponsible to meddle with another person’s life process by offering them reiki is like saying these videos you post that invoke an inspirational is irresponsible because it’s also “meddling” or that we shouldn’t hug someone when they’re sad because that’s “meddling” in their energy. You know?

Reiki helped opened my blocks up to enable me to begin travelling a path of healing, spiritual development and spiritual evolution. It has helped release trapped energy to allow positive energy to flourish. Reiki is pure love and light. Follow your heart and intuiton. Every guru is just a person like you are a person. Dont take everything they say as the word of god.

Can someone explain what happens durin the attunement and the symbols

While i fully understand what he's saying and why he's saying it, it seems like a harsh warning. My understanding of reiki and such things is that a healer never really heals anyone directly, but can give of a vibe that allows another person to heal themselves. Personally i'd never attempt it, but he must have seen a few terrible things to give such a warning

Reiki had safeguards in it. It doesn't allow you to take on another's energy. You also son't impart your energy onto another. You simply act as a funnel, directing a higher power through you to the person. Maybe we were given reiki because that is one way God wanted to be expressed through us!

To fill someone up with love energy is A blessing. There is absolutely no way to take on anyone’s karma as it is personal

Learn, study, read, pratice, self-experience are the answer.... It's like in any profession: you have good professionals and bad professionals.

After getting my Reiki certificates, I was drawn to working on people for a short time and then the desire just stopped. If anything, it has helped me on my own journey of self healing but it is the responsibility of the individual to heal themselves. I no longer practice Reiki and that's just a personal decision. I am going to do massage to help people relax but its not my job to heal anyone.

I only know if you do good to others, God's blessings and love shower on you too I do believe in the philosophy of Karma and hope we all live by it 😊🙏

wah! when ever I'm doubtful I'm watching your video classes it's very helpful.

I’ve been a reiki practitioner for over 10 years now and have been told by many I’ve helped them tremendously. My karma is good my energy is positive and I have many blessings in my everyday life. I’m sorry you disagree.

Absolutely no understanding of Reiki or how it works.

Straight and clear and concise reply from Sadhguru as always 🙇‍♀️🙏

And one more thing God can never be trapped or captured by no one. The relationship between man and his creator is a mutual, intemite and a very private and personal relationship

wow, amazing! 🙏

Are medics also playing God by manipulating karma I wonder? I think any help to anyone can ultimately be considered as such. I think people should use their brain with any help but also they should follow their heart and calling. I think helping each other is a big part of our mission here

❤don't medle with anyones karma unless your source energy tells u its ok you are the means to end of their suffering really valuable 😊 thanks

i attempted healing once not knowing what i'm doing i took that persons stones and other ailments into me, never again shall i attempt to meddle in people life's until the day i know everything

In which video did Sadhguru talk about how to wash fruits and vegetables?

I like the line, "The source of creation got trapped in you." Sadhguru is a terrific teacher.

If an individual is willing to get healed, his or her determination itself is enough to get them reach where they have to be using subjective tools. If other person is winding up in the process, the life energy becomes mixed bag and confused. If the person is mentally challenged, the energy healing can be done as a medical practitioner but with assistance of close relative of the patient.

Namaskaram Sadhguru

Reiki is an energy made of pure unconditional love towards people in need.

I strongly agree! I did my Reiko course when I was 15/16....I was very sensitive and receptive. I went through a very difficult period back then. Not only fid I take on the emotions, pain / turmoil of the people I tried to heal, but also that of people in my direct surroundings

Needed this and again sadhguru heard this lil kid out 😢❤🙇‍♀️

Tiu can oray and ask for protection from any negative energy or taking on the energy

Listen to the end. His point is very good.

Always ask permission to heal prior to healing. Actually, the person will usually come to you.🙌❤️‍🔥

what is energy healing and reiki?

i learned a different healing modality before being a reiki master so here is my take on it -- the reason why we have releases while healing is because our body indeed gets the negative energies during healing and we expel them through our body. the way to remedy this is to transmute the energy back to the cosmos or transmute it as negative healing to yourself. i was taught mantras to dissociate myself when performing healing practices so my body won't take the blow. i never had any natural releases whenever i do reiki
