Reiki
Reiki (霊気 or レイキ , IPA: /ˈreɪkiː/) is a [-[spiritual practice]][1] developed in 1922 by Mikao Usui. After three weeks of fasting and meditating on Mount Kurama, in Japan, Usui claimed to receive the ability of "healing without energy depletion".[2] A portion of the practice, tenohira or palm healing, is used as a form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).[3][4] Tenohira is a technique whereby practitioners believe they are moving "healing energy" (a form of ki) through the palms.[5][6]
Spiritual/Faith Healing
Faith healing is the attempt to use religious or spiritual means such as prayer, mental practices, spiritual insights, or other techniques to prevent illness, cure disease, or improve health. Faith healers say they can summon divine or supernatural intervention on behalf of the ill and say their practice may afford gradual relief or bring about sudden "miracle cures." It has been criticized as "not effective" and concerns have been voiced that those who pursue it may use it instead of (or delay seeking) conventional medical care.
