Answer: Your body is an electrochemical system. Every thought is an electrical impulse; every movement is chemical energy. Reiki interacts with these systems by encouraging the body to enter the Parasympathetic nervous system state (Rest and Digest). When you are in this state, your body can prioritize repairing cells, balancing hormones, and lowering cortisol.
Answer: Much of the energy that governs our lives is invisible to the naked eye. We cannot "see" Wi-Fi signals, radio waves, or the magnetic field of the Earth, yet we rely on them daily. Reiki works with the Human Biofield—the subtle electromagnetic field generated by your heart and brain that extends beyond the skin.
Answer: Yes. Clinical studies show that Reiki can significantly reduce heart rate, blood pressure, and self-reported pain levels. By focusing on the Vagus Nerve—the main "highway" of the parasympathetic system—Reiki helps the body shift out of a chronic "fight or flight" response, which is a primary driver of modern illness.
Answer: Not at all. Reiki is a complementary therapy, meaning it is designed to work alongside conventional medicine. It does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment; rather, it creates the optimal internal environment for those treatments to be more effective by reducing stress and supporting the immune system.
