What is the difference between integrated energy therapy and Reiki?
Another difference is the source of the energy that flows from the practitioner. With IET, the healing energy comes from the angelic realm and the energy involved with reiki is considered a high frequency universal energy. Yet another difference can be found in where the practitioners place their hands on the body. Advocates, including some Catholic nuns who practice Reiki, say it promotes healing. But the U. S. Catholic bishops have said that Reiki is incompatible with Christianity.Reiki may help reduce stress and mild pain through relaxation and therapeutic touch, but there is no reliable scientific evidence of energy transfer and it does not treat or cure disease.
