Hey Lovelies,
Another amazing Reiki Study....
The aim of this study was to explore whether specific subjective experiences during Reiki are associated with improvements in health-related symptoms.
This study was conducted across private Reiki practices in the United States. The sample consisted of 1,284 Reiki sessions from clients who completed surveys before and after receiving Reiki.
Reiki practitioners invited their clients to complete measures assessing physical and psychological symptoms immediately before and after each 60-minute in-person session. Participants also described their subjective experiences during the session.
Key Findings from the Study:
✨Experiencing positive emotions during Reiki was significantly associated with higher well-being and reduced anxiety.
✨Experiencing body sensations during Reiki was significantly associated with greater pain relief.
✨Body sensations improved well-being through pain relief, while positive emotions and emotional release improved well-being through anxiety reduction.
The subjective experience of receiving Reiki is related to changes in different psychological and physical health symptoms. These findings suggest that what you feel during a Reiki session may be connected to the specific benefits you receive.
