Another credible reiki research study. There’s a long way to go to understanding the mechanism of how it works, but antidepressants were used long before the mechanism was understood. Given the risk of getting hooked on prescription pain killers, why not give something a try that has been shown in many cases to be just as effective? Too bad reiki is still not covered by most insurance plans.

Not just “woo-woo”. ☺️

Bridging the Gap: Science is Validating Reiki for Pain Relief!

At Reiki Associates and Lotus Wings Wellness Centre, we see the profound shifts that energy healing brings every day. But for a long time, Reiki was considered something you simply had to "feel" to believe. Not anymore! Science is officially catching up.

A fascinating 2025 study involving researchers from Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital tested real Reiki against "sham" Reiki (where an actor just mimicked the hand movements).

The results? 55% of patients who received actual Reiki experienced a clinically significant reduction in knee osteoarthritis pain, compared to only 20% in the sham group. This proves what practitioners have known for decades: the channeling of universal life force energy creates measurable, physiological healing -t is not just the placebo effect!

Because it is a gentle, non-invasive biofield therapy, Reiki integrates flawlessly into any medical protocol. Whether you are managing chronic pain, recovering from surgery, or even supporting your pets with Animal Reiki, it works synergistically with traditional medicine to help the body heal optimally.

It is a beautiful time to be in the wellness space as the bridge between mainstream medicine and energy healing grows stronger. Elevating our energetic frequency truly impacts our physical reality.

Just for today, do not anger. May we grow in understanding of the roots of our anger. 🫶🙏🫶

✍️ Learning to Understand Our Anger - When storms of emotion rise within us—when anger floods through us and we feel lost or overwhelmed—our breath serves as a very safe anchor. Returning to our breathing helps us steady ourselves, ensuring we do not act from that heated place, and helping us find solid ground beneath our feet once again. This practice is incredibly important for our daily peace and clarity.

However, if we rely solely on calming ourselves without ever truly seeking to understand our anger, we will never fully transform it. Without clearly seeing what our anger actually is, where it comes from, and why it arises, we can never truly free ourselves from its cycle. We will be troubled by it again and again, for as long as we avoid looking at it directly with a brave and open heart.

After we have practiced the habit of pausing—after we have learned to look back at ourselves instead of seeking to blame or retaliate—we can take the next vital step: observing the anger itself. We do this not by fighting it or judging ourselves, but by simply watching it with gentle, curious attention. We can observe the entire process: from the moment anger first surfaces, through its peak intensity, until the moment it gradually fades away.

We watch it the way we might watch clouds moving across the sky—present and aware, but not trying to control what we are seeing. As we gain experience with this kind of observation, something remarkable happens. We begin to discover that anger is not as solid as it feels in the moment. By maintaining a non-judgmental attitude, we gradually see clearly what created the anger. When we see it clearly, transformation becomes possible. This is how we move from simply managing our anger to actually freeing ourselves from it.

May we all find the courage to observe our anger with kindness and understand it deeply enough to finally transform it into peace.

May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏✨
