Hi Maitri,
Namaste ....
Of course every Reiki Master knows that REIKI can and has done wonders.
Healing and curing are not the same thing.
If one were offering Reiki to someone who has been bereaved, you could heal them, in a way, but you cannot cure their having lost a loved one.
Reiki Healing is wonderful, we all know that.
Regarding your original posting, it is illegal to claim to cure cancer - as Rob rightly says, it may offer false hope to many who have cancer, who will not be cured. They may receive significant healing, to enable them to cope with their circumstances, but they may still die from the cancer. They may even have a smoother passing due to the Reiki.
The other point I would make is that if one is a Reiki Master, or any level of Reiki for that matter, it is the REIKI that produces the healing, not the Master. A Reiki healer offers, and channels Reiki. Therefore, is it not rather egotistical to claim, through Reiki, to be a fantastic healer? It is not the way of Reiki to put oneself to the fore, to claim the results as one`s own, when in fact they are due to a force far beyond our understanding.
These are my own thoughts and there may be many who will disagree.
Love and light
