If reiki went where it is needed then why were hand positions given? Reiki has no brain therefore can not think in the manner we use that word. Reiki IS energy. Energy has a function and fulfills its function. That is all. Reiki heals. That is its function. It is the body of the receiver which knows where healing is needed, not reiki. The receiver takes reiki. Otherwise it does not leave the practitioner. That is why the practitioner's intent is providing the energy. The receiver is the factor which rules what reiki does.
