The Church does not oppose either healing by natural means nor asking for healing by divine grace. However, '...the explanation of the efficacy of Reiki depends entirely on a view of the world as permeated by "universal life energy" (Reiki) that is subject to manipulation by human thought and will.' Further, '...for Christians the access to divine healing is by prayer to Christ as Lord and Savior, while the essence of Reiki is not a prayer but a technique that is passed down from the "Reiki Master" to the pupil.' 'In terms of caring for one's spiritual health, there are important dangers. To use Reiki one would have to accept at least in an implicit way central elements of the worldview that undergirds Reiki theory, elements that belong neither to Christian faith nor to natural science. Without justification either from Christian faith or natural science, however, a Catholic who puts his or her trust in Reiki would be operating in the realm of superstition.'
