Thanks folks. I understand the problem better. 

 Philosophus, I disagree with your argument on the basis that Spiritual healing isn't a term we just randomly threw together for the sake of this article (whereas the phrase "method of salvation" is something you randomly threw together for the sake of argument). The terms Spiritual healing and Faith healing are extraordinarily well known as categories. Having said that, I do prefer your suggested comprimise to what we had before, but it is majorly lacking in that it omits the phrase "spiritual healing" which is clearly the most commonly used category to put Reiki into. 

 Note these consensual precedents in other articles: 

 *  "Joel Sol Goldsmith (1892-1964) was an author, teacher, spiritual healer, and founder of the Infinite Way movement." 
 *  "Therapeutic touch (TT) is a mostly secular variant of faith healing..." 
 *  "Benny Hinn ... is a televangelist, best known for his regular ... revival meeting/faith healing summits that are usually held in large stadiums in major cities." 
 *  "Sky Kingdom also emphasizes spiritual healing as well as dream interpretation." 
 *  "Such organizations offeroften on a smaller scalesome parallels to the Church of World Messianity in terms of spiritual healing practices using a form of divine light" 
 *  "Boardman also came to be a leader in the ministry of spiritual healing, and established Bethshan Healing Home in London." 
 to the Church of World Messianity in terms of spiritual healing practices using a form of divine light" 
 *  "The targets of his criticism have included many prominent UFO enthusiasts as well as the much-publicized faith healers Robert Tilton and Peter Popoff." 
 *  "He is the author of the book, "Blinded by Benny", which is critical of the charismatic faith healer Benny Hinn." 
 *  "Like other New Thought churches, Divine Science considers spiritual healing very important, and emulates the work of Jesus, who is portrayed in the New Testament curing many people." 

 These are examples from both sides of debate where everyone equally use the phrases "Faith healing" or "Spiritual healing" without special qualifiers. Simply put, people know what these phrases mean. To qualify it further, implies bias on our part and goes against wikipedia precedents. 

 (note: Please be absolutely clear here. I am not citing wikipedia as a source. I am using it as consensual precedent for style. Which is completely different.) 

 I'm open to other creative suggestions for opening sentence phrasing. I think we should get the phrase "spiritual healing" in there clearly as it is obviously the most used category for Reiki. Best wishes. ॐ
