What Happens in a Treatment?
Independent research by Dr. Robert Becker and Dr. John Zimmerman during the 1980's investigated
what happens whilst people practice therapies like Reiki. They found that not only do the brain wave
patterns of practitioner and receiver become synchronised in the alpha state, characteristic of deep
relaxation and meditation, but they pulse in unison with the earth's magnetic field, known as the
Schuman Resonance. During these moments, the bio-magnetic field of the practitioner's 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 the 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'.
All of this supports the subjective experience of 'oneness' and 'expanded consciousness' related by
those who regularly receive or self-treat with Reiki.
Zimmerman (1990) in the USA and Seto (1992) in Japan further investigated the large pulsating bio-
magnetic field that is emitted from the hands of energy practitioners whilst they work. They discovered
that the pulses are in the same frequencies as brain waves, and sweep up and down from 0.3 - 30 Hz,
focusing mostly in 7 - 8 Hz, alpha state. Independent medical research has shown that this range of
frequencies will stimulate healing in the body, with specific frequencies being suitable for different
tissues. For example, 2 Hz encourages nerve regeneration, 7 Hz bone growth, 10 Hz ligament bending
and 15 Hz capillary formation. Physiotherapy equipment based on these principles has been de-
signed to aid soft tissue regeneration, and ultra sound technology is commonly used to clear clogged
arteries and disintegrate kidney stones. Also, it has been known for many years that placing an
electrical coil around a fracture that refuses to mend will stimulate bone growth and repair.
Becker explains that 'brain waves' are not confined to the brain, but travel throughout the body via the
perineural system, the sheaths of connective tissue surrounding all nerves. During a treatment, these
waves begin as relatively weak pulses in the thalamus of the practitioner's brain, and gather
cumulative strength as they flow to the peripheral nerves of the body, including the hands. The same
effect is mirrored in the person receiving treatment, and Becker suggests that it is this system, more
than any other, that regulates injury repair and system rebalance. This highlights one of the special
features of Reiki (and similar therapies), that both practitioner and client receive the benefits of a
treatment, which makes it very efficient.
It is interesting to note that Dr. Becker carried out his study on a world-wide array of cross-cultural
subjects, and no matter what their belief systems or customs, or how opposed to each other customs
were, all tested the same. Part of Reiki's growing popularity is that it does not impose a set of beliefs,
and can therefore be used by people of any background and faith, or none at all. This neutrality makes
it particularly appropriate to a medical or prison setting.
