I am massage therapy student presenting this weekend to my class a research paper I did on Reiki. I am wondering if you could possible think of a creative way to present this topic. The only knowledge I have about Reiki is what I have learned researching it online. I would have loved to do a demonstration, but don't feel that is possible...If you have any ideas on how to share this topic with a class of massage therapy students in a creative way I would be very greatful. Thank you, Luvon Hello…

There are also 'signs of working/healing' that can be observed in the person receiving treatment which can be measured such as: apnea, Rapid Eye movements, body twitches, shivers, etc. I agree with other posters here that who does the reiki in an experiment is important in that they must be clear = having done some steps in awakening which are authentic. There are many people not able to set aside their 'talking voice' and thus their energy is not very high when giving a treatment.

I learned to give myself reiki and have been using it for 1,000's of hours on myself. the first conclusion i come to is reiki energy isn't outside of oneself. Rather, it's entraining your own body vibratoin to match a certain pattern. To prove this pattern, i thought of an experiment to put water into a copper tibetan bowl, the one needs a particle that is floating and of a certain shape that won't stick together. i found one in research but cant' rememnber it. then put the particles in the water, and the reiki person intones the symbol, then the particles will form the shape of the pattern. i think one needs to hook up electricity to the bowl to amplify the pattern. this is like fibinachi? plates to get pattern from violin on a metal sheet with sand. perhaps it can be done that way as well. The other thing is when reiki is activated inthe body, the main thing it does is stimulate the neuromuscular juntions, not to build heat necessarily, although that can happen. so the physical took would be EMG to read muscle charge. I would love to participate in any such experiment as well as give other ideas on how this can be proven. I am very interested in this topic. thanks for bringing it up.

The process of attenuation of energy from the higher planes of manifestation, into the physical, will necessitate a journey through the realm of the abstract mind. It has been said that energy follows thought. Again your comments hold true. So your experiment of just telling someone that a "ordinary person" can heal them could prove to be true. In fact it would make a great experiement. However, once the person was healed, I wonder if the "ordinary person" would now consider themselves a healer. I suspect that just about everything that has been known to me has been imagined by my mind. And yes things that are known to me seem real.

Wow, I think it's in your mind. When you go to a healer with the faith, your mind is already conditioned...and you'll feel some kind of energy being transferred into your body...but that does do any healing? Send some subjects to a non-healer ordinary person( highly proclaimed as the specialist healer)....I'm sure they'll feel the energy too! What do you say? I think ...healing..kundalini arising..all these things work beacuse your mind is being conditioned for that with the faith that these things exist and they work. When you start beleiving in something..you start seeing imaginary things which seem real to you! Energy Healings ….!? Wow, I think it’s in your mind.

Its difficult for me to say otherwise since I know it is in fact real. "I think therefore I am" I believe in Reiki and have experienced it, and given its treatments. I have had confirmation from people that it works. The scientific convincing for myself is already complete, this experiment is more for others.

Is there any amount of evidence (or any number of failures to produce evidence) that would convince you the Reiki energy doesn't really exist?

Staying true to the scientific approach here it would simply disprove my hypothesis. Having direct experimentation with Reiki would lead me to search out another means for testing.
