Chapter 1: The Essence of Self-Reiki

After suggesting a simple self-care technique to a friend, I found myself contemplating the idea of sharing more about self-Reiki. Why not delve deeper into this practice?

"When you have a moment to pause, consider lying down comfortably, perhaps with your eyes closed. Place your hands gently over your uterus or pelvis. Focus on your breath, sending healing love and light to that area." It's essential to recognize that we are all composed of energy, and indeed, energy permeates all life.

It's not a matter of whether energy exists or if one believes in it; science confirms its presence. If you are skeptical of scientific findings, many spiritual texts—across various traditions—also discuss energy in both distinct and overlapping ways.

This concept is ancient, sacred, and divine. Reiki, among other time-honored healing methods, has been handed down through generations.

So, if the existence of energy isn't in question, what remains? For many, the query is whether we can truly connect with this energy. The answer varies based on whom you consult, what you read, and your personal beliefs and experiences, as well as individual sensitivities.

Section 1.1: Scientific Insights into Energy

While there might not be exhaustive research available (when is there, really?), the awareness of the body's electrical (or energy) fields has been medically and scientifically recognized for over a century.

The pioneering research on the human energy field began with the heart, leading to the development of the electrocardiogram by Einthoven, who was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1924. About 25 years later, Berger explored the brain's electrical fields, giving rise to the field of electroencephalography.

Einthoven, Berger, and their contemporaries demonstrated that organs such as the heart and brain generate bioelectric fields that traverse body tissues and can be captured with electrodes placed on the skin.

Section 1.2: Reiki and Energy Transfer

Furthermore, studies measuring energy transfer during Reiki sessions have shown that we can indeed access the energy within and surrounding us, as well as from nature.

"To validate their claims, Reiki healers and clients were assessed using sensitive equipment before and after sessions. The results revealed that energy is transferred from the healer's hands to the patient. Surprisingly, not only does the patient's energy become more balanced and elevated, but the healer's energy also improves, indicating that Reiki practitioners do not deplete their own energy during healing. Instead, they channel energy from the atmosphere and the Earth."

Additionally, a meta-analysis highlighted a significant finding: "Reiki was found to cause a statistically significant decrease in VAS scores."
