Reiki & Research

Reiki is an ancient Japanese holistic modality rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900s. It is a hands-on method which many liken to the laying-on-of-hands discussed in the Bible. Because everything is made of energy, including humans, it stands to reason it is energy we need to heal ourselves. Because Reiki is an energy-based modality and because energy can permeate any and everything, Reiki has the ability to be administered to anyone, anywhere, regardless of their proximity to the Reiki Practitioner.

Reiki has had a positive affect on all forms of illness and negative conditions. This includes minor things like head- or stomachaches, bee stings, colds, flu, tension and anxiety as well as serious illness like heart disease, cancers, mental and emotional disruptions, etc. Side effects of regular medical treatments have also been reduced or eliminated. This includes the negative effects of chemotherapy, postoperative pain and depression as well as improving the healing rate and reducing the time needed to stay in the hospital. Reiki always helps and in some cases people have experienced complete healings which have been confirmed by medical tests before and after the Reiki treatments. However, while some have experienced miracles, they cannot be guaranteed. Stress reduction with some improvement in ones physical and psychological condition are what most experience. [1]

Most of the time a person will feel relaxed and uplifted by a Reiki treatment. However, sometimes a person will have what is called a healing crisis. As a person’s vibration goes up, toxins that have been stored in the body will be released into the blood stream to be filtered by the liver and kidneys and removed from the system. When this happens, sometimes a person can get a headache or stomachache or feel weak. If this happens, it is a good idea to drink more water, eat lighter meals and get more rest. The body is cleansing as part of the healing process so this is a good sign. [1]
