Yes, lies shaped modern Reiki as we now consider it has a “hands-on healing method” that stems from Christianity, rather than it’s original system of the path to enlightenment that originates from Buddhism. Our current Reiki system is based on lies. It’s important to bring this fact to everyone’s awareness to clear up the reason why we have this watered-down version of Reiki in the world today.
Hawayo Takata’s claim that Reiki was Christian-based has significantly impacted people’s mindset about energy healing and shaped the modern Reiki movement. By falsely presenting Reiki as aligned with Christianity, Takata created a misconception that Reiki is linked to religion rather than being a practice for spiritual development and the path to enlightenment.
This distortion has led many people to view Reiki with skepticism or to associate it solely with religious beliefs, limiting its acceptance and understanding as a secular, science-based practice. Takata’s deception has contributed to the ongoing stigma and misunderstanding surrounding energy healing, making it more challenging for people to approach Reiki and other energy therapies with an open and objective mindset. 
The modern Reiki movement has had to contend with this legacy, working to separate the practice from its Christian-centric branding and reestablish Reiki as a universal healing art accessible to people of all backgrounds and beliefs. This has required significant effort to educate the public and reclaim the true origins and principles of Reiki.

Lies Shaped Modern Reiki
The lies shaped modern Reiki has led many people to be confused with the practice of Reiki because they believe it to be a “hands on” healing approach that Jesus Christ practiced. Unfortunately, this has given people the mindset and EGO that they are practically “gods” of other people’s lives, which has resulted in a lower energetic vibration.
This limited perspective of Reiki has spread a watered down version of the practice around the world. Stemming from ancient Buddhist practices and Japanese martial arts the energy exercises and mindset was practiced for many years before natural healing abilities and psychic powers naturally emerged.
Today people practice Reiki after a weekend workshop without awareness of their own energetic vibration, the negative energies that affect themselves, or the energies in the room at the time of healing the client. They’re also not psychically “turned on” to be able to discern what negative energies are influencing their mind and emotions on a day to day basis – which can attract lower negative entities and beings to “play havoc” in their lives.
Although, Takata’s lies has given a false perspective of Reiki there are some benefits. For instance, if Reiki was not introduced as Christian it would not have been accepted and we might not have any awareness of the practice today. At least these lies that shaped modern Reiki have brought it into our world today – and now we can expand and extend the practice with focused dedication.
Overall, lies shaped modern Reiki has had the effect of perpetuating misconceptions and hampering the broader understanding and acceptance of energy healing techniques in modern society.
Hopefully, over time, people like yourself will start to become curious about the deeper practice of Reiki and ponder upon how to develop themselves both personally and spiritually – to improve their lives.
