reiki I seems to have had a permanent effect in the reduction of stress and even though i find it a little hard to believe, i do think there is something to the hands on thing. however, the reiki crowd that claim exclusivity to this power are incorrect. it is something that seems to be a byproduct of some martial arts study as well as the study of accupunture.
the claims that reiki II makes one capable of absentee healing i find to be absolutely outrageous crapola. during my reiki II training, my teacher brought out louise hay's book that detailed psychological causes of disease. there were things in there like allergies being caused by 'not wanting to let the world in' or something like that. leprosy, she said, was caused by 'an inability to deal with everything'. but the best was the psychological cause of constipation, 'an inability to let go'. i know that louise hay's book has nothing to do with reiki but, similar babble about reiki was the beginning of the end in my participation in this most nurturing of pyramid schemes.
if reiki II and beyond works for you, that's fine but, i believe the benefits felt to be mostly psycho-ceramic.
