Should be safe: Obviously there is no research on this but the main thing that might cause a brain aneurysm to burst is increased blood pressure. Extreme exertion (which could raise BP) is also best avoided. Neither Reiki or Indian head massage should raise blood pressure so I would expect them to be quite safe.

Brain aneurysm: Reiki and head massages are safe exercises for people with brain aneurysms. Not all brain aneurysms are the same in terms of risk for rupture. Some have a very high rate of spontaneous rupture (anterior communicating) and others rarely rupture (cavernous segment). The treatment options are: 1) observation; 2) endovascular coiling/stenting; and 3) surgical clipping. Discuss with a neurosurgeon.
