On a scientific level studies have shown that Reiki increases the white blood cell count, giving a much needed boost to the immune system. It also has been shown to relieve pain, depression, anxiety, insomnia and more. When one gives or receives Reiki their brain moves into an alpha state causing a deep relaxation, a state that is often hard to find in our busy Western world. We have seen great healing occur on both physical and non-physical levels; Cancer released, arthritis recede, chronic pain cease to exist, hearts opened, grief purged and our personal favorite – watching a soul come home, ready to move forward and claim their future. A reconnection of self.
