Over decades a lot of research has been done scientifically to substantiate the healing power of Reiki. I have references to the research articles and links to URL  in my book  'Reiki Healing for Layman. Some of the reearch work I shall be adding to this page.

Look out for my new book - Understanding Reiki coming shortly. It is an upgrade to the Reiki Healing for Layman book which was published first in August 2013. A lot more scientific research articles are available now and I have longer experience in the years with Reiki. All this is going to be included in the new book coming out soon.

Reiki and Austism Spectrum. - Studies and anecdotal reports indicate that Reiki may provide a number of different benefits to people who participate in sessions on a regular basis.

Reiki and Weight Loss - Reiki may be beneficial as a weight loss aid. Some of the ways in which Reiki may help with weight loss are improve balance and well being, reduces stress, may improve sleep patterns. Reiki will help to release the emotional and mental baggage which affects weight. You can let go of limiting beliefs affecting self image, relationship with food and much more. 

Reiki and Cancer -  Reiki, a stress reduction and relaxation technique, has become a subject of curiosity for cancer patients everywhere. Studies and anecdotal evidence has shown that, in addition to promoting relaxation among patients, Reiki can also be used to encourage healing and provide other benefits. In fact, some studies have even explored the effect of Reiki on patients who are undergoing cancer treatment concurrently. These studies have found that, although Reiki is not a substitute for other cancer treatments, it may enhance these treatments and offer a number of benefits to patients as they deal with the symptoms and stresses of cancer.

Cancer Surgery and Reiki - Both cancer and surgery (and even just the thought of them) can evoke feelings of fear... fear of death, fear of disfigurement, and fear of the loss of the lifestyle that one is currently living. The knowledge of having to undergo surgery, or receiving a diagnosis of cancer, is a total experience that involves feelings, thoughts, physical sensations, as well as questioning of one's connection to a higher power. People that have had "pre-op" Reiki treatments, have found that they have less pain, minimal blood loss during the surgery, and are up on their feet soon after surgery. Reiki can help release the toxins of their treatment and lessen their discomfort. Reiki can also calm their emotions, help them to deal with the fatigue, and strengthen them so that they can "keep on keeping on" during the difficult time.

(WebMd) Reiki can help ease:

* Pain

* Sleep problems

* Nausea

* Anxiety

* Depression

* Tension

 Afterward, some people have a slower heart rate, lower blood pressure, and a dro in stress harmones. Also their immune systems seem to work better. Because of thie, Reik is sometimes used to help conditions like:

* Cancer

* Chronic fatigue syndrome

* Infertility

* Disorders that affect your brain, like Parkinson's or Huntington's disease. 

Reiki and Infertility: 

Among other things, infertility can be caused by an imbalance in hormones, obesity, or stress. All of these are considered symptoms of blocked chakras. Reiki helps in unblocking the chakras, releasing emotions that arise when trying to conceive.

Can you heal somebody else's body?

Let’s ask a more daring question. Can you use your mind to heal a loved one – at a distance?

Some of the most surprising evidence for distant healing comes from psychologist William Braud and his colleagues at The Mind Science Foundation of San Antonio, Texas. Braud’s studies, conducted over 17 years,

involved having people mentally attempt to influence the nervous system of remote participants.
The results of the study were simply mind blowing.

The Receivers
Braud would wire up the first group of people, known as receivers, to machines that measured up to seven different physiological responses such as blood pressure, skin conductivity and muscle tremor.

The Senders
A second group of people, known as senders, would be placed in a different room and asked to attempt to arouse or calm the receiver solely by thinking about them.

Both senders and receivers were ordinary people who had volunteered for the study.

Braud’s 37 experiments involved 665 sessions, 449 people and 13 experimenters. What Braud found was that at the exact moment the sender was asked to think of their receiver, the receiver would show a change in his or her physiological condition.

The 37 experiments combined resulted in odds against chance of more than 100 trillion to one in favor of distant mental interactions between the participants.

In short, the ability of one person’s mind to affect another person’s body is scientific fact.
But Just How Powerful is it?

Okay, so we know that one person’s mind can somehow influence someone else’s physical body – but is the effect really powerful enough to make a difference in someone’s state of health?

Again, the answer is surprising.
The effects of distant healing have been proven to be significantly greater than many drugs deemed to be highly successful in medicine.


For example, numerous studies have shown that propranolol and aspirin are effective in reducing heart attacks. But their effects pale in comparison to distant healing.

Effect sizes of drugs are measured on a scale from 0 to 1. An effect size of 0.03 in a medical life-or-death situation would mean that 3 out of 100 people survived. An effect size of 0.3 would mean that an additional 30 out of 100 survived.

In medical tests the effect size of aspirin on reducing heart attack is 0.03. The effect size of propranolol was not much higher, at 0.04. These sizes were sufficient enough proof for the government to authorize the drug manufacturers to state that their products prevent heart attack.

But the effect size of distant healing in Braud’s experiments was a surprising 0.25.

This means that if 100 people were going through a therapy with a success rate of 35%, this success rate would go up to 60% with the addition of distant healing. Almost twice as many patients would be saved.

In his studies, Braud also discovered some strange properties of distant healing. His volunteers were asked to participate in another experiment where they would attempt to mentally calm down two groups.

One was a group of highly nervous people and the other a calmer group.

First, Braud found that the distant healing effect was the strongest when the person on the receiving end actually had a serious need for healing. The effect size on the highly nervous group was far greater than on the calm group.

More surprisingly, he found that the effect size on the agitated group by those trying to calm them down was only slightly less than the effect that people had on themselves when using relaxation techniques.

In statistical terms this means that other people could have the same mind-body effect on you as you could have on yourself and vice-versa.
