Similarities Between Touch Therapies

On the surface Touch Therapies appear to be separate therapies that were developed independently without relationship to one another. However, as one takes an more in-depth look at each Touch Therapy, they will be surprised at just how many similarities they have in common. The following list of similarities between Reiki, Therapeutic Touch and Healing Touch may greatly surprise you:

1. All are based in eastern religion
2. All counterfeit the gift of laying on of hands
3. All are Energy Therapies
4. All channel the "Universal Life Force"
5. All practice Spiritism: necromancy, animism, spirit guides, "angels", clairvoyance, clairaudience, Higher Sensory Perception, telepathy, telekinesis
6. All are Touch Therapies
7. All target nurses and health care
8. All are attempting to gain medical validity as medical modalities
9. All deny Christ: the Atonement, the Resurrection, the Trinity, Salvation, and Healing
10.All are based on religions with specific belief system: chakras, meridians, qi, animism, "Vital Life Force"
11.All are opposed to Christianity and should not be practiced by Believers.

The work of the Enemy of our souls has always revolved around deception. The Bible states that "he is a Liar and was a Liar from the beginning" (John 8:44). Touch Therapies are based on deceit and it should not surprise us that Satan's lies are nothing but further examples of his deceit. His lies are restatements of the same pseudo-promises that he first used to deceive Adam and Eve in the Garden . . . "You shall be like God" (Gen. 3:5). Since healing is the sovereign work of God, and the laying on of hands is the Biblical means of healing for the Church to exercise this gift, it is no wonder that Satan uses Touch Therapies to deceive people. His lie that promises God-likeness through healing is still just as tempting today as it ever has been.
