Do reiki healers think they are equil to god? I was once told they are equal to or same as...Just a question....

I'd say that perhaps a few might think so, but those folks are legends in their own minds.

As James Deacon so well described it, "Reiki is a blessing, an instantaneously conferred 'Sacred Potential' - for healing, protection and spiritual development."

It may seem to folks who have no actual knowledge of Reiki that the benefits derived from treatment could only be available through a 'g_d', but after a small bit of study, it'a apparent that the energy is available to all who are attuned. I've never met a Reiki practioner who was anywhere near being godlike. We're normal, everyday people who've been introduced to and embraced a form of energy work, or as some call it, Light Work, that enables us to use that energy for someone's/something's Highest Good.

This short poem, written by Birrel Walsh of GrassRootsReiki kind of sums up how lots of us feel. It resonated with me right away. LOL I'm probably as far from godlike as a person can be.

Me...
Prone to depressions
about real transgressions
the grey beard man
stands as best he can

And begs the sun
to take what he has done
when he has sinned

and begs the wind
to make him free
to pass energy,

then gives it all
to the waterfall
and turns again,

joins other men
judges what goes by
with a kinder eye

and - the best of it -
wryly laughs a bit.

My .02 worth,

well said Tomas.

I think that Reiki people who said that they equal to God have problem with ego- but the good news is that they will be healed if they will work with Reiki for a while.
I am a scientist - so i prefere to see in Reiki the real physical energy without any god or mystic relation. it is easy and it can prevent people from equalGod thinking

i dont know but i persosnally feel anyone who even remotely starts feeling like God or Godlike... that person if he/she doesnt start making corrections immediately will ruin things for themelves and others and most such people from my experience cannot "really" be cured or healed.
