How Reiki Actually Works
(The Science Part)
by Arjun Walia
The healing
art of Reiki has been practiced and taught around the world for many
years, with many believing its origins to be as ancient as those of humans
themselves.
With scientific research now emerging attesting to the ability of human
thoughts, emotions, and intentions to affect the physical material
world, an increasing number of scientists, quantum physicists in
particular, are stressing the importance of studying factors associated with
consciousness and its relation to our physical world. One of these factors is
human intention.
Reiki essentially
uses human intention to heal another person’s ailments. Practitioners
usually place their hands on the patient in order to channel energy into
them by means of touch. It can be roughly defined as using compassionate
mental action and physical touch, energy healing, shamanic healing, nonlocal
healing, or quantum touch.
The
popularity of this practice is exemplified by the fact that, as of
2000, there were more ‘distant healers’ in the United Kingdom than therapists
practicing any other form of complementary or alternative medicine, and the
same goes for the United States. (Barnes PM, Powell-Griner E, McFann K, Nahin RL. Complementary and alternative medicine use among adults:
United States, 2002. Adv Data. 2004.
May 27;(343):1–19. [PubMed])
Quantum
physicists have been advocating for the effectiveness of such treatment for
some time. For example, Max Planck, the theoretical physicist who
originated quantum theory — winning him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918 —
stated that he “regards
consciousness as fundamental” “and derivative from consciousness.” He
also maintained that “everything
that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates
consciousness.”
Distant
healing involves factors associated with consciousness.
Eugene
Wigner, a well-known theoretical physicist and mathematician, emphasized
that “it was not
possible to formulate the laws of quantum mechanics in a fully consistent way
without reference to consciousness.” Richard C.
Henry, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Johns Hopkins
University, takes this idea even further in his article “The Mental
Universe,” published in the journal Nature:
“A
fundamental conclusion of the new physics also acknowledges that the observer
creates the reality. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation
of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a
“mental” construction. Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote: “The stream
of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to
look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears
to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather hail it
as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. Get over it, and accept the
inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial—mental and spiritual.”
With
so much evidence to support these ideas and with so many studies published on
the subject, that this field remains the subject of ridicule to many in
mainstream academia is simply baffling.
A
study published in The
American Journal of Chinese
Medicine, as seen in the US National Library of Medicine,
demonstrated that a women with special abilities was and is able to accelerate
the germination of specific seeds for the purposes of developing a more robust
seed stock. The study determined that this woman could induce plant
seeds to grow shoots and roots several cm long within 20 min using mentally
projected qi energy.

Distant Healing Intention Therapies (DHI): An Overview of the Scientific Evidence
Did
you know that clinical trials testing the effectiveness of DHI have been being
conducted since the mid-1990s? Serious scientific inquiry has been ongoing and
continues to this day, with both systematic and meta-analytic reviews
being published, many of which have concluded that, with nearly half
of all the published studies on this topic exhibiting statistically significant
results, further study is desperately needed.
A number
of studies involving DHI experiments using simple life forms and animals have
also reported statistically significant results, which have been seen
under randomized and blinded conditions which include enzymes, fungi, yeast,
bacteria, cancer cells, red blood cells, fibroblasts, tendon cells,
(tenocytes), and bone cells.
Distant Mental Interactions With Living Systems (DMILS)
Hundreds
of experiments in this area, which is closely related to DHI, have been
conducted as well.
DMILS is not concerned with healing, but rather with searching for
measurable empirical evidence that A can affect B in any way, rather than
if A can heal B.
These
studies investigate the influence of A’s intention on B’s physiological state —
a process referred to as “remote intention.” They further examine the
influence of A’s attention on B’s physiological state while A gazes at B over a
1 way video link, called “remote staring.” Last but not least, they study the
influence of A’s intention on B’s attention or behaviour, which is referred to
as “remote helping.”
The
effects of distant mental interactions are measured using electrodermal
activity, heart rate, blood volume pulse, and electrocortical activity (EEG
electrodermal activity, heart rate, blood volume pulse, brain blood oxygenation
[MRI], and electrogastrogram [EGG]).
These
studies have yielded remarkable results which have since been successfully
repeated in laboratories around the world.
An Overview of the Scientific Evidence
DHI
is very popular as an alternative healing method, but scientific experiments thus far
have failed to produce clinical results which can be reliably assessed. As
Dean Radin (Chief Scientist at
the Institute of Noetic Sciences) argues:
The
contradiction between persistent popularity and lack of clinical effectiveness
may be due on the one hand to some healers, in some contexts, who do seem to
produce remarkable outcomes, and on the other hand by conventional RCT
protocols that may be incompatible with the nature of DHI phenomena. Tools
must match the requirements of the subject, and if the right tools are not
available, then new ones must be devised. In other words, it is inadvisable to
use a sledgehammer to study the surface structure of a soap bubble.
On
the other hand, DMILS experiments, which relate to distant healing, more
clearly indicate the existence of genuine interactions between people at a
distance. As Dean Radin explains, this offers up some challenges:
But
the proof-of-principle offered by DMILS experiments more clearly indicates the
existence of genuine interactions between distant people. This presents us with
an evidence-based enigma worthy of serious consideration. However, for many
researchers, the mere concept of distant healing continues to elicit
significant resistance for two main reasons. The first is based on the
assumption that “action at a distance” is impossible because it violates one or
more physical or biological laws. The second is founded on the
neuroscience-based assumption that the mind is identical to the brain, in which
case it does not make sense to propose that the brain activity we call “healing
intention” can interact with anything outside of the brain’s own body (source)
While
it’s quite clear that healing at a distance hasn’t yet been proven
scientifically, DMILS effects do indeed manifest shifts in physiological
measures, lending credibility to reports of distant healing being successful.
Dean Radin himself maintains that “the implications of DHI for basic science
epistemology and ontology and for pragmatic efforts to improve health healing
are vast, deep, and perennially intriguing.”
A Few Other Strange Reported Anomalies
I
find it interesting to consider how much scientific investigation into
‘psychic’ phenomena
has been conducted by the Department of Defense. In the United States, for
example, they had Project Star Gate, which lasted more than two decades before
being unexpectedly shut down. (source) One
of the most popular projects within that program was remote viewing. According
to a declassified report which has since been published in
multiple journals:
To
summarize, over the years, the back-and-forth criticism of protocols,
refinement of methods, and successful replication of this type of remote
viewing in independent laboratories has yielded considerable scientific
evidence for the reality of the [remote viewing] phenomenon. Adding to the
strength of these results was the discovery that a growing number of
individuals could be found to demonstrate high-quality remote viewing, often to
their own surprise. . . . The development of this capability at SRI has
evolved to the point where visiting CIA personnel with no previous exposure to
such concepts have performed well under controlled laboratory conditions. (source)
I
just want to make it clear that psychic phenomena have been investigated at the
highest levels of government, and probably still are. Who knows what
information from these programs remains classified? And why do so many
mainstream scientists criticize this research when scientists working at
the highest levels of government are studying it?
This
topic has piqued the interest of more than just Western intelligence agencies,
as China also actively works to identify individuals with extended human
capacities. For example, a paper published in the Peoples Republic of China
(PRC) in September 1981 in the journal Ziran
Zazhi (Nature Journal) tilted “Some Experiments on the Transfer of Objects Performed by
Unusual Abilities of the Human Body” (Shuhuang et al., 1981)
reported that ‘gifted children’ were able to teleport small physical
objects from one place to another. (source)
A publication
titled “Exceptional
Functions of the Human Body” also makes some extraordinary claims,
reporting highly accurate parapsychological effects, including
clairvoyance, psychokinetic effects, and more. (source)
A report
published in 2010 by retired research chemist Dong Shen describes an
experiment involving mental teleportation of bits of paper out of a sealed
plastic film container. Fascinatingly, these methods were taught to others
with a success rate of 40 percent. (source)
“The results
of the Chinese p-Teleportation experiments can simply be explained as a human
consciousness phenomenon that somehow acts to move or rotate test specimens
through a 4th spatial dimension, so that the specimens are able to penetrate
the solid walls/barriers of their containers without physically breaching
them.” – Eric
Davis, Ph.D, FBIS (source)
