Reiki: (Rei) Universal Life Force. (Ki) Energy.

With a synchronous connection to Science/Physics theory of Quantum Entanglement and Quantum Mechanics, as well as the intensive scientific studies that have been done surrounding the Human Aura/Human Energy Field and the Universal Energy Field; Reiki is a laying on of hands touch healing system of incredible ease and power. The treatments can be done with or without physical touch since energy does not comprehend time and space in the same way that people understand these concepts. We encourage and manipulate the energy within and surrounding the human body to encourage healing. Although the traditional Reiki story begins in the 1800’s with Mikao Usui, the healing system itself is certainly older than any written account, and Reiki was ancient by the time the traditional story began.

The name originates from the Japanese language.

The name “Ki” also appears in ancient texts from the time of ancient Sumer in reference to the name of the Eternal Feminine God.

The Tibetan Tantra Lotus Sutra, a text written in the second or first century BCE, offers the symbol formula for the technique of Reiki.

Anyone can learn how to encourage healing with this amazingly powerful technique, as all humans are capable of using Reiki to encourage healing. This does not replace the need for the incredible work being done by doctors and medical practitioners; however, it enhances these. Every human being can benefit from taking more responsibility for their own health and happiness. That is something that can easily be done by learning how to encourage healing using Reiki, or by allowing oneself to be treated by a Reiki practitioner. Reiki is not massage, and Reiki is not a religion. It is encouraging healing using energy. Energy that circulates throughout the human body and around it. Energy within the Human Energy Field, and the Universal Energy Field. Energy from the Earth, the air we breathe, and from the Universe. These are things that Physicists have been studying for over one hundred years and have found that literally everything is made of energy.

Some Reiki Testimonials

"More hospitals offer alternative therapies for mind, body, spirit," L. Gill, USA Today

An article published in the USA Today in 2008 reported that in 2007 15% of U.S. hospitals (over 800) offered Reiki as a regular part of patient services. These treatments are offered by Reiki trained physicians, therapists, and nurses who often are part of the hospital staff.

“Reiki is one of the leading safe energy medicine approaches.”  C. Norman Shealy, M.D. Ph.D.  Founder, American Holistic Medical Association

A research study at Hartford Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut showed increased overall patient satisfaction with the treatments. The findings indicated that Reiki improved patient sleep by 86 percent, reduced pain by 78 percent, reduced nausea by 80 percent, and reduced anxiety during pregnancy by 94 percent.

In the same study 75% of the patients who participated said that they would “definitely want service again”.

Televised and Documented Reiki Healing Study

Daniel Worth, president of Healing Sciences International, conducted one of the more interesting experiments using humans. Worth set out to explore whether there would be a healing effect if the persons to be healed were kept completely unaware of the healer’s presence and unaware that any healing was taking place. He enlisted forty-four male student volunteers who were told they would be part of an experiment to test a new, highly sensitive camera, which could photograph the energy flowing around the human body. Under the tightest of secrecy and controls, half of the group came to a rented house at regular intervals in the morning and the other half came in the afternoon. Everyone was told the same story; everyone was treated in exactly the same way. Each volunteer had an eight-millimeter-wide, skin-deep wound cut on his forearm. When they went into the house, each volunteer was seated close to the wall of an otherwise empty room and instructed to insert his arm through a small, heavily draped hole— nothing was visible on the other side.  Each volunteers sat there for precisely five minutes while the “camera” in the adjoining room was supposedly filming the wound. The purported theory was that there would be extra energy flowing around the wound and the camera would be able to record it. The point, however, was that there was no camera in the next room. The morning group was simply hanging their arms in empty space.  In the afternoon a healer, named Laurie Eden, totally concealed from them, sat in the alleged camera room, close to the wall, and carried out a healing session on the wounds, keeping her hands just inches above their arms.

At the end of sixteen days, medical experts, who did not know who had been treated by the healer, examined the arms of the forty-four students.  The wounds of thirteen of those treated by the healer had healed entirely; each wound had closed over and had a layer of new tissue sealing it. The rest of the afternoon group was “well on the way to total healing.” By contrast, not a single member of the control group had experienced complete closing of the wound, or anything close to it. The photos showing the differences are striking. Worth’s experiment showed that the healing was effective and that belief or suggestion played no part in the healing.

The documentation for Worth’s findings is contained in a special thirty-minute documentary film by the BBC called “A Way of Healing.”  It has also been fully written up by Dr. Worth himself, complete with all the relevant statistics and charts, in Subtle Energies, vol. 1 no. 1, 1990.

Reiki Effectiveness Study

Researcher Krinsley D. Bengston witnesses multiple cases of cancer remission associated with a hands-on energy healer. Bengston then apprenticed with the healer to learn how to reproduce the healing effects.

Bengston obtained 5 experimental mice with mammary adenocar-cinoma, which had a predicted 100% fatality between 14 and 27 days following injection. Bengston treated these mice for an hour a day for a period of 30 days. The tumors developed a “blackened area,” then ulcerated, imploded and closed, and the mice lived their normal lifespan. The control group of mice with breast cancer, sent to another city, all died within the predicted time frame.

The results were so remarkable; three replications of the experiment were done in different cities. The studies were done with skeptical volunteers trained to do hands-on energy healing. In these three studies, 87.9% of the energy-treated mice lived, and 100% of the control group mice died. In addition, the mice in remission from two of the four experiments were re-injected with cancer, and it did not take, suggesting a continuing, stimulated immunological response. Histological studies confirmed the viability of cancer cells through all stages of remission. 

The studies were published in The Effect of the “Laying On of Hands” in Transplanted Breast Cancer in Mice,  by Krinsley D. Bengston, Journal of Science Exploration, 2000; 14:353-364.

Bengston wrote “The tentative conclusions are that belief in laying-on of hands is not necessary to produce the effect; there is a stimulated immune response to treatment, which is reproducible and predictable; and the mice retain immunity to the same cancer after remission.”
