Number 9 in a series of 10 podcasts exploring What is Reiki? This episode is an exporation of whether Reiki is a religion. Even religious studies scholars cannot agree on the definition of a religion, so it is a difficult question to answer. However, Reiki is a set of tools and techniques to allow practitioners or recipients to connect with Universal Lifeforce Energy without ever defining, providing cosmological or dogmatic answers. Reiki can be merged with religious techniques, or used only as a secular, professional practice. Therefore, Reiki is not a religion, or a spiritual practice that requires anyone to abandon existing belief systems to engage with it. This series of 10 What is Reiki podcasts within the Reiki Nomad podcast is intended to help those who have questions about Reiki to find the answers they seek. Potential clients who want to have a better idea of what Reiki means will enjoy these talks--especially if you want to select the best Reiki practitioner for you and have no idea what to look for or ask. Potential Reiki students will probably also find this podcast useful. The episodes clarify information so those asking if it is time to become a practitioner might have a better idea of what they would be committing to and what to look for in a teacher. Current practitioners may find revisiting fundamentals of practice helpful.
