Reiki system
Gendai Reiki Hō
Founded by Hiroshi Doi
1991 · Japan
A modern Japanese system that reconciles the traditional Japanese practice with the Western lineages.
History
Developed by Hiroshi Doi, a member of the Usui Reiki Ryōhō Gakkai and a student of Western Reiki lines, to reunite the two transmissions.
Practice
Taught in stages that pair the Japanese techniques with the Western symbol set, aiming to reunite the two transmissions.
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.
