nice to see yous

a sort of family friend/cousin, came over with her boyf for a couple of nights there. Laura and Craig, I hadnt seen her in a few years or met him before, but it was really cool we all got on well. They cooked me some great food and I took them for guinness and irish music and then dancing at a tsunami 80's fundraiser which made for an excellent nite. Both very intersting ppl, he had gone through about 7 or 8 careers to find theraputic masage as the job for him, she works as a speech therapist for the health service in england. They were both very open to spiritual chat and we had some cool conversations, i am interested to know more about "reki" (not sure about spelling) but its a therapy where ppl move there hands over you body, about an inch from your skin "tapping into a universal force to channel energy for healing" I often feel the power of the Holy Spirit flowing through me when praying and I definately believe it can heal ppl, but i would not normally associate it with physical healing but i think thats more my lack of faith. So this reki sounds sort similar but then if the power isnt openly being acknowledged as being of God then where is it coming from? i think the traditional point of view is that it would be from darkness, but why would the person get healed by what is in essence a totally destrucitve power, but then it does say that satan can mascarage as light....
any comments?

These "spiritual" healers are becoming more and more common. Pple are starting to search spiritually a lot these days(think of yoga and different meditation practices), and with searching you'll always find "the deceiver" around. Because they've found something which is real, they're bound to think its truth. We know that the spiritual realm is true but do we beleive in physical healing? This seems to be the major difference within the church community, along with giftings such as tongues. i personally believe in both because most of what Jesus' did while on earth was healing and casting out demons(and i beleive Jesus is still alive, so why would he stop this practice?)
So if someone gets healing from another source, is this still God in his infinite mercy healing his unsaved children?
To be honest i dont think God would use these kind of channels to heal pple. He's a jealous God so why would he give the glory of healing to a spiritualist who makes money and takes the glory for the healing.
If its not God, there's only 1 other force it could be.
And by the way, where do we think these healed pple will turn to?
