I have just listened to Quote from Beyond Belief and hear the following:

Christian doctor view of reiki: "reiki itself is a form of spiritual channelling, the person who is the reiki practitioner is attuned to a spirit guide and my understanding of that is that is not the same spirit that christians would receive the holy spirit and there for carries with it the risk of spiritual harm. I have seen spiritual harm done to people who have had reiki themselves and i would certainly not be advocating it."

you can hear this for youself here: Beyond Belief 11.01.2010 Radio 4, http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00pqh8z

who agrees that there have been concrete examples of people being harmed by reiki?

hi...
i am pretty new here and my english maybe is not enough to express myself on this issue...but i will try my best:
first of all (and from my point of view) his definition of reiki is not correct... when a person is attuned that person is attuned to rei (universal energy) and not to any kind of spirit guide. that attunement allows the person to be a channel between the rei (universal energy) and the person's ki (this person is the one you are sending reiki to).
Second...if you send love you can never ever hurt or harm anyone... reiki is a way of sending love and if you are truly connected with that love then you dont have to worry about anything.
if you sow love you cannot reap anything but love...
Namaste!

Hi there, nice subject... I can tell you for sure that these "christians" can cause more harm with their prayers than anything else. First of all, through first hand experience and there is a very good book about "becareful for what you are praying for". These guys DO NOT know what they are doing...

It might not answer your question, but this books speaks also about the thin line between and the effect of prayer, which I think applies to reiki as well.. the thin line between curse and cure... If I do not send reiki with unconditional love, it can fast end as a spell??? (at least a beginner?)

AS said before, if you send reiki or a prayer with love, you will not cause harm.  but are still human, so we have to be careful what we think...

Plato once said, those who pray for other should be procescuted....(those that think they know all and pray for other to go totheir church for instance..Wink )  I (personally) think we should restart this debate, not think about if reiki is dangerous, as most of the reiki people know about the love one sends...

I really think this, as I have a evangelist parasit on my shoulders, who really intereferes with her prayers into my life...

not a straight answer to your question, but I feel I wanted to share this... a good book if you are exposed to that kind of people to give them some arguments...

Dear Friends,
I am a Roman Catholic by birth & baptism.
So I think I got a small right to be critical about my religion as preached by church.
I think the church is afraid of its monopoly.
The Universal Life Force is indeed the Holy Spirit.
But any modality that holds too much ego push from its founders or facilitators cannot be wholly perfect as the true Universal Life Force.
Reiki as put forward to us by Sensei Mikao Usui  is the Universal Life Force It has great preachings by the Sensei  & principles. No ego, no attachments. If anything is wrong its with the interpretor.
About the spirit guide stuff..... The spirit guide is not the energy itself, so the accusation is baseless.
Nowadays the method of prayer taught at Church retreats etc. are picked up from vedic texts, pranashakti(lifeforce)teachings, yoga & meditation. Many books too are circulating using these. After the results they call it miracles. So too many religions.
I think in Lightwork miracles occur so often  that we don't classify them as miracles. 
Now we can have a good laugh about this & not get too worried.
be blessed.
