Reiki - science explained

How Reiki works, from a scientific point of view

    How is it possible that the touch of a hand leads to healing processes?  Many scientists have asked themselves this question.  One of them were Dr.  Robert Becker and Dr John Zimmeman, who since 1980 have been studying the influence of Reiki energy on the human body.  They were the first to confirm that the electromagnetic activity of the person's brain synchronizes at the level of 7-8 Hz, known as the Alpha state, at the time of the Reiki treatment.  This state is characteristic, for example, of the REM sleep phase, when the nervous system, memory, endocrine system, and the muscular system undergo the regeneration process.  Moreover, Zimmerman observed a surprising phenomenon when it turned out that some functions of the organism of Reiki practitioners synchronized with the so-called  Shumann resonance, the Earth's natural frequency spectrum of electromagnetic waves known as extremely low frequencies, the so-called  ELF (extremely low frequency).  This, in short, may mean that the conscious channeling of the Reiki energy stream and similar natural vibrations tunes a person to a deep, even instinctive, harmonious contact with his entire environment, the environment in which he lives and functions.

  Moreover, at the time of REIKI donation, the biomagnetic field in the hands of the REIKI donor is at least 1000 times higher than usual.

    What can it do for you?  Imagine that you are guided by an inner voice that tells you when is the best time to make an important decision: starting a business, withdrawing without losing a disadvantage, making friends.  This voice is your intuition.  The stronger your inner alignment, known as the vibration level, the more your choices and therefore your whole life become closer to your true desires and values.  There is cohesion in life, and cohesion creates a more frequent sense of happiness and fulfillment.

    Zimmerman (1990) in the USA and Seto (1992) in Japan continued to study the biomagnetic field that emanates from the hands of a REIKI practitioner during the REIKI procedure.  He found that the impulses from the hands are at the same frequencies as the brainwaves from 0.3-30 Hz, focusing mainly on 7-8 Hz, the alpha state.  Independent medical studies have shown that all wounds are stimulated to heal in this frequency range.  Each frequency is suitable for different tissues.  For example, 2 Hz stimulates nerve regeneration, 7 Hz bone growth, 10 Hz ligaments.  Currently, this principle is applied in the field of physiotherapy, and ultra sound technology is common in the fight against coronary diseases, e.g. to clear clogged arteries and other therapies such as disintegration of kidney stones.  It has also been known to science for many years that placing an electric coil around an unhealed fracture will stimulate bone growth and tissue regeneration.

    An additional element influencing the healing effectiveness of REIKI is compassion and loving intention conveyed by the Reiki practitioner along with energy.  It strengthens the healing magnetic field.  The heart generates the largest electromagnetic field in our body, about 100 times stronger than the brain.  Rollin McCraty, director of research at the Institute of HeartMath, showed the relationship between a person's emotional state and the frequency spectrum of electrical signals in the heart.

     According to McCraty, director of emotional research at the Institute of HeartMath, the intentional feelings of compassion, love, and respect produce a certain frequency spectrum of the electrocardiogram that fits into the biomagnetic fields of tissues and benefits cells in the body in a beneficial way.  If this is repeated successively, this frequency is strong enough to cause changes in the water structure and DNA.  That's why McCraty concludes.  The more a healer focuses on a state of sincere love, compassion, and care, the more he will have an impact on tissue repair.

Facts continued ...

    Dr. James Oschman, in his work "Energy Medicine, the Scientific Basis", tried to explain the general operation of energy medicine from a scientific point of view, focusing on the issues of electromagnetism in the human body. First, it is necessary to quote a generally known truth - electricity flows through the human body all the time. Electricity is part of the nervous system, which is connected to the entire body, and electrical impulses reach every cell in our body.

     One of the parts of the nervous system is the so-called peripheral nervous system - this system generates electrical impulses that inform the brain of an emergency when certain tissues succumb to disease. It is thanks to these impulses that the body directs repair cells, such as white blood cells or fibroblasts, to damaged regions. When the state of a tissue changes, the electrical potential of that tissue also changes - and so, for example, healthy tissue has a different potential than diseased tissue. It should also be mentioned that the peripheral nervous system, or rather the surrounding tissue, is very sensitive to changes in the magnetic field. This is the first part of the puzzle.

     The second part is that tissues generate their own biomagnetic field, which is often identified with the aura. These fields pulsate with different frequencies and can penetrate each other. Also, the vibration frequency of such a biomagnetic field will be different in the case of healthy tissue and diseased tissue. Magnetic fields are induced, in other words - such fields can influence each other, they can change the strength of the biomagnetic field, and they can also influence the flow of electricity in the body.

     Our hands also generate a biomagnetic field - which is extremely strong in people involved in biotherapy. It is even suspected that human hands are able to emit other types of energy, not only electromagnetic. Now we come to the healing process. A sick person experiences changes in the biomagnetic field that are simply abnormal, indicating an illness. The researcher Herbert Frohlisch found that the collections of cells, the tissue or the whole organ have certain collective frequencies that regulate the proper functioning of the organs. However, if a cell's frequency changes, this can trigger a domino response - when enough cells change their frequency, related to the biomagnetic field, a disease state can occur because the balance is disturbed. This also explains why many biotherapists emphasize - every disease is first seen in the aura, and only then in symptoms.

    Healing by laying on hands, therefore, in theory is very simple - the healer's biomagnetic field is regular and stable, and thus stronger than the biomagnetic field of the diseased area. Therefore, the healer field supports the process of returning the patient's biomagnetic field to a state of equilibrium. In this way, thanks to the healer, the body of the sick person gains support for its own self-healing systems. And that's more or less what it looks like.

    How is it with Reiki? There are two theories - either Reiki activates in practices the previously dormant skills of increasing the strength of one's own biomagnetic field (or something else), or the energy that flows through the practice is so strong and has such specific properties that it restores the biomagnetic balance of diseased cells. However, these are still general theories that await closer examination, but which seem quite reasonable.

Reiki research problems

    However, research on Reiki is not free from problems - Reiki, as a method of spiritual healing, has its own rules to some extent. This makes it difficult to come to specific conclusions in research. It will be fair to admit that not all research on Reiki has been done in the most scientific way. Very often, shortcomings in procedures or too general research procedures eliminate a given work from the list of valuable articles. Fortunately, the more time scientists spend on Reiki, the more serious research is done.

   As Dr. Anastassia Bogomolova stated, other problems related to Reiki research are:

 • Differentiation in Reiki treatments by different practitioners

• Differentiation in Reiki treatments carried out by the same practitioner

    It is obvious to Reiki practitioners - each problem is approached differently. While people who use the method of hand layouts, which are predetermined, usually perform the procedure in the same way, people who prefer intuitive work work differently each time - both the hand layout and the time spent on a given procedure change. This generates a certain problem, because science prefers certain conditions for conducting experiments and research, especially in the case of statistical research - the experiment should be constructed in such a way that it can be repeated, and the experiment should look the same each time it is repeated. However, it cannot be fully achieved in the case of Reiki treatments, practiced with the intuitive method, because most often each treatment is unique in its form.

    Dr. Bogomolova also draws attention to another problem that is again obvious to practitioners. Namely, each patient reacts differently to Reiki. Reiki is not a liquid that you just need to inject - the Reiki patient has to open up for it to work at all. This makes it difficult to organize the study in such a way that the patient is open enough to Reiki. It is this lack of openness that may explain the negative effects of the Assefi and Shiflett studies that I mentioned earlier. For many years now, modern medicine has been convinced that the most important factor in recovery is the desire to recover. Without it (without opening up to the possibility of recovery), nothing will help.

    Apart from official scientific research, patients very often report improvement after Reiki transmissions - sometimes smaller, sometimes bigger. It remains to be hoped that the scientific research of Reiki will continue to develop, endeavoring to finally demonstrate the positive influence of Reiki on the healing process.

Reiki in hospitals

    According to unofficial data, 15% of hospitals in the US use the help of REIKI practitioners.

    Also in other countries, such as Canada, UK and Germany, REIKI energy therapy programs are being introduced in medical facilities.

    However, there is currently no worldwide research summarizing how big the phenomenon we are dealing with.

     Reiki is offered sometimes as an adjunct to treatments, in collaboration with practitioners, and sometimes as a close part of therapy when hospitals officially employ REIKI practitioners. Reiki is also becoming more and more popular among medical professionals. Both doctors and nurses are increasingly choosing a course in this method.

    In hospitals and clinics across America, Reiki is starting to gain acceptance as an important and cost-effective way to improve the quality of medical care. "Reiki sessions help patients heal faster and suffer less," says Marilyn Vega, a RN, private nurse at Manhattan's Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital in New York City. [Reiki] speeds up recovery after surgery, improves mental well-being and reduces the negative effects of drugs and other medical procedures.

    Vega, a Reiki master, incorporates Reiki into her nursing work. As patients like Reiki and talk about it, Vega gets a lot of attention from other patients as well as from hospital staff. Patients ask her for Reiki treatments in operating and postoperative rooms. She was also asked to do Reiki treatments for cancer patients at the Sloane Kettering Hospital, and for patients with bone marrow transplants. Recognizing the value of Reiki in caring for patients, 6 doctors and 25 nurses took initiations with Marilyn.

America's Interest in Complementary Healthcare

    Commonly, society revolves around a growing interest in complementary medical care, including Reiki. In fact, research undertaken by Dr. David M. Eisenberg of Beth Israel Hospital in Boston found that one in every three people in America received such care, spending over $ 14 billion out of their own pocket on alternative health care in 1990 alone! 1

    Reiki is also gaining sincere acceptance in medical institutions. Some hospitals include Reiki on the list of medical services, often with their own Reiki initiated doctors, nurses and other staff.

 Why hospitals like Reiki

    Hospitals are experiencing major changes. They experience the need to reduce costs and at the same time want to improve health care. The old medical model, based on expensive treatment and technology, created an unsolvable dilemma. This is not the case with Reiki and other similar systems. Reiki does not require any technology, and many Reiki practitioners offer their services for free. Therefore, Reiki is a very good way to improve care while reducing costs.

     Julie Motz, a Reiki-initiated healer, works with Dr. Mohamet Oz, a renowned cardiac surgeon, at the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York. Motz uses Reiki and other techniques that work with subtle energies to balance patients' energies during surgery. She assisted Dr. Oz in the operating room during open-heart surgery and transplants. Motz reports that none of the 11 patients treated in this way experienced typical post-operative depression, with bypass patients felt no post-operative pain or weakness in the legs, and transplant patients did not experience organ rejection.

    The Martin Independent Jurnal article follows Motz's work at Marin General Hospital in Marin County, California, north of San Francisco. There, Motz used healing techniques based on subtle energies in working with patients in the operating room. She attaches great importance to caring for the feelings and positive thoughts of patients, and has been granted grants to work with patients, especially after breast removal.

    Dr. David Guillion, an oncologist working at Marin General, said, “I feel we should do everything we can to help patients. We provide medical art positions to our office, but healing is a multidimensional process ... It subscribes to the idea that there is a healing potential that can arise with the use of energy.

 Reiki and Kirlian photography.

    The effect of Reiki on our body can also be proved with the use of the latest technical devices.

    Among other things, changes in our biofield can be recorded by optical and technical equipment.

       In the photos below, we see examples of changes in the characteristics of the aura after the Reiki treatment.

We can clearly see the change of the color of the aura from orange to green, which of course brings with it changes on the emotional and mental level.
