    In fact, there is no absolute "more useful" at all. Many people even make a misunderstanding when asking this question - Reiki itself is one of the classic branches of energy healing. The two are not parallel options at all. Just like if you ask "Which one tastes better, jasmine tea or tea?", there is no direct comparison. It all depends on your personal suitability, the professionalism of the therapist you meet, and your own somatosensory matching.

    I have been involved in spiritual circles for almost 6 years, and I have seen two viewpoints quarrel with each other. Most of the friends who are more comfortable with Reiki are afraid of trouble or are sensitive to physical healing tools. There used to be a girl who worked in Internet operations. She had insomnia for half a month while working on a project. She tried singing bowl therapy, but she always felt that her temples hurt when the bowl was knocked. Later, she went to a certified Usui Reiki master for three remote sessions.

    However, many friends feel that Reiki "has no feeling", and instead prefer other energy healing methods. A while ago, I accompanied a friend to treat the cold. Every time I did Reiki, she felt nothing during the whole process. It always felt like spending money in vain. Later, I changed to an energy healer who does crystal arrays. He placed heated amethyst pillows on the waist and abdomen, and used singing bowls to tap the corresponding pulses. In less than an hour, she felt her belly was so warm that she broke into a sweat. When she got her period that month, the pain was not so bad that she couldn't stand up in a cold sweat. Now she feels that energy healing with physical tools is much more "useful".

    Some people may ask when talking about this, then there should be a selection criteria, right? In fact, it's really not that complicated. If you are usually too busy to go offline, or you are a little resistant to operations such as knocking bowls and placing crystals, and want to be more relaxed and don't need to cooperate, you can try Reiki first. You can do it remotely without any fuss. If you like the physical sensation that can be touched, and the blockage and tightness in your body are usually more obvious, then the physical sensation of energy healing such as singing bowls and crystals will most likely be more in demand for you.

    I have tried several different methods myself. When I do Reiki, I can obviously feel a little numbness in my back. However, my best friend feels nothing during the whole process. Instead, she feels so comfortable that she falls asleep while doing the singing bowl. After all, this kind of thing is really personal. There is no need to listen to others' opinions on whether it works or not. It is best to try it yourself. By the way, I would like to remind you that no matter which one you choose, don’t believe those who claim to be able to cure all diseases. Energy healing is after all a way to assist in regulating the state. If you really have an organic problem, you must go to the hospital first.
