Reiki system
Komyo ReikiDo
Founded by Hyakuten Inamoto
1998 · Japan
A Japanese Reiki school that teaches the practice in its simpler, pre-Western form.
History
Founded by Hyakuten Inamoto, a Buddhist monk, who teaches Reiki as a Japanese spiritual practice rather than a healing technique alone.
Practice
Taught in five levels, with an emphasis on Reiki as a Japanese spiritual practice rather than a treatment technique.
Evidence
Reiki is a spiritual practice. Clinical research has not shown it, or any Reiki system, to be effective as a treatment for any medical condition, and there is no evidence for the universal energy it describes. It is generally low-risk, but it is not a substitute for evidence-based care.
