Reiki; Does it Brings the Human Psyche Into an Alternative State of Reality?
With the owner and president of the company Austen & Parker and Reiki practitioner, Davina Zarnighian
Proponents and practitioners of various esoteric forms of spirituality and alternative medicine refer to a variety of claimed experiences and phenomena as being due to “energy” or “force” that defy measurement and thus are distinguished from the scientific form of energy.
Reiki is a Japanese form of alternative medicine called energy healing. Reiki practitioners use a technique called ‘palm healing’ or ‘hands-on healing’ through which a “universal energy”, aka Chi, is said to be transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing.
Even though the concept of “qi” (energy) appears throughout traditional East Asian culture, such as in the art of Feng Shui and Chinese martial arts, there seems to be no scientific evidence for the existence of such energy.
I am your host Maria Anna van Driel and you’re listening to “The Next Truth; Where Science and Myth Meet”. This week I am speaking with the owner and president of the company Austen & Parker and Reiki practitioner, Davina Zarnighian and discus with her the pro’s and con’ of Reiki and, how jewelry is related to this ancient energy healing.
