Reiki is a safe, gentle practice that helps the body relax, regulate, and restore balance. Whether you’re navigating stress, chronic health challenges, or simply seeking deep rest, Reiki has been shown in research to support emotional wellbeing, pain relief, and quality of life.
🌀 Reduces Anxiety
- Effective in short-term (≤3 sessions) or moderate-frequency (6–8 sessions)
- Supports people with fibromyalgia, depression, gastrointestinal procedures, and general stress
🌟 Improves Quality of Life
- Reiki consistently shown to enhance quality of life.
- Most effective when delivered as:
- Frequent, longer sessions (≥8 sessions, each ≥60 min), or
- Short, acute sessions (≤20 min) in specific settings.
- Benefits extend to cancer patients, surgical patients, people with chronic conditions, and the general public.
🧘♀️ Relax and Restore Your Body
- Reiki outperforms placebo in activating the parasympathetic nervous system, demonstrated by:
- Lower heart rate
- Reduced blood pressure
- Increased heart rate variability
- These effects are linked to vagus nerve activity, supporting emotional regulation and relaxation.
💓 Support for Chronic Conditions
- Reiki shown to reduce pain, anxiety, and depression, while improving self-esteem and quality of life in people with chronic conditions.
- Provides safe, noninvasive support for difficult-to-treat conditions like painful diabetic neuropathy.
✔️ Evidence-Based and Safe
- Strong evidence that Reiki is more effective than placebo in multiple contexts.
- Benefits likely arise from both the healing interaction and attunement-enhanced ability of practitioners.
