brother arzafar I think Reiki is a form of shirk because it are used symbols and objects while practising it.I know what reiki is because my parents took the master in reiki(my mum above all has a document that testify that she can practise reiki to other people.technically talking,is a chinese term that briefly means:universal energy,and it can be moved from the space to the master's hands........
I grew up in a multifaces family,but reiki is ignorance by myself,because I think that only Allah subhana huwa ta'ala can give a good health to His creatures.It's Haram,by myself and it's a wasting of time
I have never seen anyone use objects while doing reiki, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been incorporated. The only reiki I've seen done is with people and their hands, and sometimes they weren't even touching the person. But even if objects were used, I don't understand why this is wrong. I have not ever seen symbols used either. There could be different forms of practice.
So, if there are not symbols used... I don't understand why this would be considered shirk.
Sometimes I feel like people are afraid of things from something outside of our knowledge, or afraid of things we just don't understand. And instead of experiencing/observing/researching we cast things off as haram. Or we ask other people instead of looking into it for ourselves and using our own judgement. Allah gave us strong minds and hearts to think for ourselves.
