Is Reiki Nonsense?

During the 1980’s, Dr Robert Becker, Dr John Zimmerman, and Max Cade each investigated what ‎happens whilst people perform therapies like Reiki.

They found that not only do the brain wave ‎patterns of practitioner and receiver become synchronized in the alpha state, but they pulse in unison ‎with the earth’s magnetic field, known as the Schuman Resonance.

During these moments, the ‎biomagnetic field of the practitioners’ hands is at least 1000 times greater than normal, and not as a ‎result of internal body current.

Toni Bunnell (1997) suggests that the linking of energy fields between ‎practitioner and earth allows the practitioner to draw on the “infinite energy source” or “universal ‎energy field” via the Schuman Resonance.

Prof Paul Davies and Dr John Gribben in The Matter Myth ‎‎(1991), discuss the quantum physics view of a “living universe” in which everything is connected in a “living web of interdependence“.
