The simple answer is "Yes"!
You can learn all this with SFQ.
The somewhat more complicated answer is "It depends"... on the person, on how much they are willing to practice etc.
SFQ has 4 levels that you can study. Level 1 & 2 already open one up to a lot of spiritual energy if that is what one a) is looking for b) has an intention for each practice and c) continues to explore as one gets deeper in.
I think which is "better" is so subjective that I would not touch it with a ten meter pole!
Better question is which is better for you? And no one can answer that but you. I think it is entirely possible that you can get to the same place with either one, but one might get you there faster or clearer than the other.
I have my own personal opinions on the specific subject of Reiki and SFQ, but I will keep them to myself and besides I am certainly no expert on comparing practices. Again, it is subjective and no one can really answer that for another. There have been plenty of people on this forum who use both and get a lot of benefit from both.
Just speaking personally, for me it is better to focus on one at a time for a year or more before I begin exploring another and my focus has been SFQ for 4 years. I have been studying qigong in various forms for about 35 years or so. And my favorite is SFQ!
In SFQ we don't use the same exact energy "map" or language as those systems that talk about chakras. We do talk about 12 energy centers in the Small Universe meditation and there are 3 dantiens, lower, middle and upper. Level 1 focuses on "aligning" and fortifying the lower dantien (deep in behind the navel) to some extent, while also opening up all the energy channels in the body. The key word is "balance".
As for healing yourself and others, well that is the bread and butter of SFQ! Close proximity energy healing is taught in Level 1 & 2. Level 1 focuses more on healing yourself and developing your own spiritual energy, while Level 2 shifts the balance more to healing others. But like all things that deal with yin and yang, there is plenty of both in both.
Distance healing is more for Levels 3 & 4. There is no home study course for Level 3 (although there are some materials one can get from the SFQ center and some of these can help with those aspects, but it is far better to try and attend a retreat or class when one is ready for that).
SFQ's invitation is more about healing. But in my now almost 4 years journey on the SFQ path, I have found it is FAR more about spiritual growth and more than many other things I have learned (and my career is all about spirituality and has been as a professional for 13 years and as an "amateur" (lover of something), for about 40 years.
Master Chunyi Lin is a true spiritual teacher and the home study materials really do carry a lot of his energy and "aura", in my experience.
I hope that helps.
