S106: Is Your Reiki Practice Actually Working?

from Science of Reiki - Reiki, Energy Healing, Nervous System Regulation and the Research Behind It · host Molly Donlan

If you've ever finished a Reiki session and thought "I didn't feel anything, so did it even work?" this episode is your answer.In this episode, I break down why we're so fixated on the big, dramatic sensations, the heat, the tingles, the full-body transformation, and why those aren't actually the signs that matter most. I walk through every sense that Reiki can show up through, including the subtle ones nobody talks about like yawning, tummy gurgles, and watery eyes. And I make the case that noticing a one-degree shift in how you feel, think, or respond is more powerful evidence that your practice is working than any heat-and-tingles moment ever will be.In this episode:What Reiki can feel like across all five senses and beyondThe subtle signs of Reiki working that most practitioners don't talk aboutWhy comparing your experience to someone else's is a detriment to your practiceHow the brain's negativity bias makes it hard to notice progressWhy showing up is sometimes the most powerful evidence of all🔮 Download the free companion workbook: https://mollydonlan.com/sor-workbook🔮 Want to learn Reiki in a way that actually makes sense?
