By reading this guide you accept the following, straightforward terms. They are written plainly, and they exist mainly to be clear about what this site is — an independent, informational resource about Reiki — and what it is not.
If you do not agree with these terms, please simply stop using the site. Your continued reading is taken as acceptance of them.
Information only
The content here is for general information about Reiki — its history, practices, schools, and place in everyday life. It is offered in good faith and with care, but we make no guarantee that every detail is complete, current, or that all lineages and teachers would describe things the same way. Reiki is a living tradition passed hand to hand, and honest accounts of it differ.
Where dates or historical details are given, they follow the most commonly cited sources; some of Reiki’s early history was passed on orally and cannot be verified with certainty.
Not medical advice
Reiki is a practice for relaxation and general well-being. Nothing on this site is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it should never replace the care of a qualified health professional. Reiki is not a cure for any illness, and any claims you encounter suggesting otherwise should be treated with caution.
Always seek the guidance of your doctor or another qualified provider with any questions about a medical condition, and never disregard professional advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read here. If you have a health emergency, contact the appropriate emergency services.
No professional relationship
Reading this site does not create any therapeutic, teaching, or professional relationship between you and its authors. It is a starting point for understanding, not a substitute for training with a qualified teacher or for a session with a practitioner you have chosen and trust.
Use of the site
You are welcome to read and share the guide for personal, non-commercial use, and to link to it freely. Please do not republish substantial portions as your own, or use the material commercially, without permission. The site is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for any loss or harm arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. You use the information here at your own discretion and responsibility.
External links
This site links to books, associations, and other resources for your convenience. Those links are not endorsements, and we have no control over and take no responsibility for the content, accuracy, or practices of any external site. Once you follow a link away from here, the terms and policies of that site apply.
Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated from time to time, and the current version will always appear on this page. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
This is a free, independent guide offered in good faith for information only. It is not medical advice and never replaces your doctor or a qualified teacher. Read it, share it for personal use, and keep your own judgement — and your own care — firmly in hand.
