The Brain Waves of Reiki

by Judith Pennington on July 31, 2011

Who the best healers are and how healing works has been the subject of scientific research since the 1970s, when investigators first began to study the brain waves of hands-on healers. I have always been interested in energy healing, especially since 2001, when I discovered in my own brain waves that sending out healing prayers at the close of meditation expands and evolves the mind more than anything else—and in precisely the same way as loving communion with universal Light.

In 2001, we studied a practice called Usui Reiki Ryôhô. This was based on information taught by Doi Hiroshi and research into the system of Reiki. Usui Reiki Ryôhô basically means ‘Usui’s spiritual energy teachings’ and is representative of the teachings of the system of Reiki that relate to what Usui Mikao taught. Since 2001 we have taken this concept and worked with it, constantly refining through our research what Usui Reiki Ryôhô means to us.
