Reiki & Science

As Reiki grows in popularity, so new research is done to both prove and disprove the validity of energy therapies. Based solely off research gathered from the internet and books, not any clinical studies, the U.S. Catholic bishops issued a statement in 2009 that Reiki has a religious basis in Buddhism, that it's directed by human will, and it has no scientific foundation. William Lee Rand, the founder of the International Center for Reiki, has composed an article that clears up many rumors, misconceptions and false information about Reiki.

Here is an excert from his article, "A Response to the Bishops' Statement on Reiki":
"Ampere’s law indicates that when an electrical current flows through a conductor, an electromagnetic field is produced that reflects the nature of the current that created it. Tests with scientific instruments indicate that electromagnetic fields exist around the body and around each of the organs of the body, including the brain, heart, kidneys, liver, stomach, etc. The heart has the strongest field, which has been measured at a distance of 15 feet from the body.

The fields around each of the organs pulse at different frequencies and stay within a specific frequency range when they are healthy, but move out of this range when they are unhealthy. The hands of healers produce pulsing electromagnetic fields when they are in the process of healing, whereas the hands of non-healer do not produce these fields."
