There are two opposite views:

1) Does Reiki Work? Yes, Absolutely - ask all the people who have derived great benefit from Reiki both as Reiki energy healers and as Reiki receivers. In fact, a large percentage of people first receive very positive experiences with Reiki and they are so impressed, they become Reiki Practitioners and Reiki Masters and Teachers.

2) No, whatever you can't put under a microscope or some human made machine is all rubbish. Traditionally, there has always been a big divide between ancient (holistic, mind body spirit soul) tradition and so-called "modern" thinking (material, physical, body). Hence, in some places, holistic approaches have been hijacked and cornered by modern vested interests.

Remember the good old days from your history, geography and scientific classes?  "Advanced" and "highly educated" "scientists" used to jump up and down shouting at the top of their collective voices, "The Earth is square and flat and if you go to the edge, you'll fall right off the Earth!"

Let's forget  "a long time ago scientists thought" - look at very recent history - less than 30 years ago. Take something as logical and precise as Mathematics. The very best mathematicians in the world thought they knew everything there was to know. What they didn't know (and what many clever people still don't know) is that our knowledge at any given time is limited, thus clouding our judgment. Only when we are open minded can we enjoy the opportunity of expanding our experience and our collective knowledge pool. When Benoit Mandelbrot published his work on Fractal Geometry (the geometry of nature), some ridiculed his work.  However, his Mandelbrot set is now an integral part of mathematics, physics, science, the study of nature, etc.

Does Reiki work? That depends upon your view!

If you believe you are simply a mechanical entity (material, physical, body), then you would be fully entitled to maintain a skeptical (sceptical) view about Reiki (or any other similar complementary and alternative therapies). If you believe you are more than just Body, then the best way to find out if Reiki works is to gain first hand experience.
