The Impact of Psychotherapeutic Reiki on Anxiety and Mindfulness: A Single-Case Design
December 1, 2016 Lindsay Webster
Reiki healing, a complementary therapy, may reduce anxiety and improve mindfulness when integrated with talk therapy. In a single-case study of four adults, three showed significant reductions in anxiety and increases in mindfulness over the course of psychotherapeutic Reiki (PR) intervention, as measured by weekly assessments. The findings suggest potential therapeutic benefits of combining PR with conventional counseling, though further research is needed to confirm these effects.
