Summary

In this episode I discuss energy work. What it might be, what it might not be, and if it might be real or fake? I propose some rationale of how it might be real, and I confront some of the claims that I have a hard time trusting. I try to discuss what might be scientific, what might be based in belief, and what might be something else entirely. So, what are your thoughts? Do you agree with me, disagree, or have totally different ideas to add?  Things I mention in the episode you may be interested in looking into further:  Muscle Testing (also called Applied Kinesiology): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_kinesiology  Reiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reiki  Mind Body and Kickass Moves (Ep. 4): https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b008flc3  ConCast episode on trigger points: https://anchor.fm/concast/episodes/Episode-18-Trigger-points-edelcd  Bonus! Another ConCast episode on potential mechanics of how reiki might work: https://anchor.fm/concast/episodes/Episode-26-Does-reiki-work-efqi9t
