    There is no standard answer to this question at all. If you ask ten energy healing practitioners, you might get eleven different answers - after all, Reiki itself is a branch of the energy healing system. The "energy healing" that everyone usually compares with actually refers to more targeted generalized energy healing methods such as crystals, quantum touch therapy, and sound bowl healing. The two are never an either-or relationship. Whether they are good or not depends entirely on the needs and adaptability of the user.

    I met a client who just came out of confinement a while ago. Her breasts were so blocked that her armpits were covered with hard lumps, and her breasts were pierced to the point of crying. She also had insomnia and shed tears for a week. She tried remote Usui Reiki once, and the lumps softened by less than half that night. I did it three times in a row. Not to mention her mood became stable, and the problem of blocked breasts has never happened again. She still says that Reiki is better than anything else when meeting people. From the perspective of a Reiki practitioner, Reiki is like an energy charger that you carry with you. It does not require complicated tools, nor does it require you to accurately tell where your problem is. As long as the healer has received formal enlightenment, he can transmit high-frequency energy to you. Whether it is clearing away clutter on the spot, relieving pain, or laying the foundation for the energy field for a long time, it is very stable, with almost no drastic adjustment reactions, and is especially friendly to novices.

    But if you ask a girl who often attends a body-mind studio to answer, she might be against you. An old graphic design client stayed up late all year long to catch up on projects. His shoulders and neck were as hard as slate. He even had migraines and even took painkillers to no avail. The first time he tried Reiki, he felt his back was a little warm, and it still hurt. Later, he switched to the special energy therapy for shoulders and neck with a crystal array. After doing it twice, he could finally hear his neck when he turned his head. She felt the relaxing sound of "clicking", and she slept for a full eight hours after touching the pillow for the third time. She is now a staunch believer in "specialized energy healing." She always said that Reiki is a broad-spectrum tonic that can be swallowed. To really deal with old illnesses, special energy healing that can accurately target chakra points and use tools for targeted adjustment is effective.

    In fact, more people who have been in this circle for a long time do not bother about which of the two is better, but often use them interchangeably. When I am working on a case for a client, if the client's energy field is in a mess, full of work clutter and interpersonal emotional garbage, I usually do 20 minutes of Reiki to smoothen the field, and then use crystals or music after the person has stabilized. The pot is used to attack the childhood trauma that she has hidden for several years, or the long-term blockage of the spleen, stomach, shoulders and neck. The effect is much better than using any one of them alone. It is equivalent to opening the blocked water pipe first, and then pouring the dredge to remove the deep scale. The efficiency is not even a little bit higher.

    If you really have to choose, it’s easy. If it’s your first time contacting this type of healing, but you’ve just been tired recently, you’re feeling inexplicably irritable, and you don’t have any specific discomfort, it’s right to try Reiki first. It’s cost-effective and it’s not easy to get into trouble.; If you already have a very clear problem, such as pain in a certain part for more than half a year, being stuck in the emotions of a certain incident and unable to get out of it, or even taking a chakra test to know which part of your body is severely blocked, just go directly to the corresponding specialized energy therapy. The degree of adaptability is always much more important than the dispute of "which one is better?"
