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 biomagnetic field of the practitioners' 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
practitioner and earth allows the practitioner to dr.aw 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
biomagnetic 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, 7Hz bone growth, 10Hz ligament
mending, and 15 Hz capillary formation. Physiotherapy equipment based on these principles has been
designed 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 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 world-wide array of cross-cultural subjects, and
no matter what their belief systems or customs, or how opposed to each other their 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.
