Oh yes. I have no doubt that the demons would "heal" a person(making them think that Reiki is useful) only to form an attachment to them and later oppress them and thier clients or possess them. Several exorcist have seen this in actual cases. Of course former satanist like Zachery King also talks about this.
Well to be fair, I have no real experience with Reiki. One of our practitioners started doing it after he left. But like I said, there are a range of practices. I've seen some things (and felt direct physical manifestations) so I know that there are real effects from some of these practices.

I just don't trust any of them based on "energies" and such. If you give someone a plant extract (from which aspirin is developed) and it stops their headache, that's one thing. But a lot of the "practices" are highly suspect, IMO.

How can demons heal? Didn't Jesus get accused of the same thing?

I simply don't believe demons have any authority to heal within the Christian worldview. Why would they?

They can appear to heal by ceasing to afflict harm.
