Reiki has arrived in the West wrapped in language that can feel unfamiliar. But when you look at what it actually is, where it comes from, and what the research is showing, it looks quite old, quite well studied, and quietly at home in ordinary medical settings.
Perhaps the growing interest in holistic wellbeing isn’t about people becoming more alternative. Perhaps it’s a response to lives that leave increasingly little room to pause, feel and reconnect.
Sometimes you walk into a room and, before you’ve noticed anything specific, you already know how you feel in it. Calmer. Or restless. Lighter. Or slightly wrong-footed. Sometimes without being able to say why.
