Is Reiki Against Your Religion?

Understanding faith, coherence, and what Reiki actually is.

This is a big question that many people ask when they’re exploring the possibility of training in Reiki.

A few years ago, I trained a Muslim student called Mohamed, and he loved the whole experience and was very excited with his new abilities. The experience felt clear, grounded, and completely aligned for him.

Then he went home and started reading and researching online. Angels. Spirit guides. Crystals. Ascended masters. Channelled beings. The usual…

And of course, this left him feeling very unsettled, to ay the least. He decided that Reiki was, in fact, completely against his religion and so he prayed to Allah to remove his attunement.

A year later, he came back to review another class with me. I didn’t ask him why this was suddenly not against his religion.

During the class, when we reached the attunement section, he told me he’d need to be re-attuned because he’d asked God to remove the one I’d originally given him.

I asked him to raise his hands up to his chest and see what he felt. Was there any sense of energy radiating from his palms still? Could he feel it in his chest area? His eyes widened. Yes, it was still there.

Nothing had been removed. What had originally disturbed him wasn’t Reiki, it was his and other’s interpretations that had been layered on top of it.

That distinction matters. There is a difference between what Reiki actually is, and what people interpret it as being. Often interpretation is presented as the objective nature of the practice and the energy, when it’s not.

In this week’s article, I explore this fully:

  • What religious authorities are actually objecting to

  • Whether Reiki involves worship or theology

  • What attunement really establishes

  • How do those pesky symbols fit into all of this.

  • And where New Age additions have complicated things and made what should be a practice accessible to all, a practice that disenfranchises many people.

If faith is important to you, this is essential reading.

I’m Looking For 5–10 People

I’ve been working with a client who previously suffered from CPTSD. She had flashbacks. Addictive urges. Was on medication.

After working with me using a specific energetic empowerment protocol I developed, she is no longer reporting those symptoms. She doesn’t take her PTSD medication anymore because she doesn’t feel she needs it.

We are not claiming cures. We are saying she is not reporting those symptoms anymore. They are gone.

Another Reiki student came to me with catastrophic looping thoughts that were disrupting her entire life. I designed an empowerment specifically for her.

The looping pattern stopped completely.

She still feels the initial thought attempt to fire up, but it can’t take hold. The damage it used to cause has gone.

That same structural shift happened with the CPTSD client. Both reported significant shifts in their mental wellbeing.

Two people. Same results. Both in less than 24 hours, free from a life time of suffering.

Now I need to test this protocol further.

I’m looking for 5–10 people maximum who experience:

  • Flashback patterns

  • Trauma looping

  • Catastrophic intrusive thoughts

  • Compulsive mental spirals

  • Addictive urge cycles

  • Or any other condition that you feel might be helped by this process.

I will provide this empowerment protocol free of charge in exchange for a video testimonial if the process works.

If you don’t want to provide a video testimonial, I’ll still work with you, the cost will be £150.

The process includes:

  • A short preparation meditation

  • The empowerment itself

  • Simple post-empowerment stabilisation practices

If this sounds relevant to you:

WhatsApp me directly (+44 78100 16959) or
Email me directly ([email protected])

This is limited to 5–10 people.

“I have been following Steve Gooch through his books, blogs, and posts for nearly 15 years in my search for deeper understanding of Reiki Ji Kei Do. His books have been a tremendous resource for me, and I’ve always appreciated his direct, “un-fluffy” approach to sharing information.

I began studying with him last year and have found his teaching methods to be incredibly valuable. Once again, his practical and straightforward style brings you directly to the core of the practice, encouraging the true compassion within these teachings to emerge and strengthen—both for oneself and toward others. I feel more inspired to continue my progress than I have in years and am excited to share this journey with those who feel called to experience it. Thank you, Steve.”
