Reiki (霊気) (/ˈreɪkiː/) is a form of alternative medicine developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui. Since originating in Japan, Reiki has been adapted into varying cultural traditions across the world. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a « universal energy » is allegedly transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing.
Reiki’s teachings and adherents claim that qi is physiological and can be manipulated to treat a disease or condition. The existence of qi has not been established by medical research. Therefore, Reiki is a pseudoscientific theory based on metaphysical concepts.
The existence of the proposed mechanism for Reiki – qi or « life force » energy – has not been established. Most research on Reiki is poorly designed and prone to bias. There is no reliable empirical evidence that Reiki is helpful for treating any medical condition, although some physicians have said it might help promote general well-being. In 2011, William T. Jarvis of The National Council Against Health Fraud stated that there « is no evidence that clinical Reiki’s effects are due to anything other than suggestion » or the placebo effect.
Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a term used for an experience characterized by a static-like or tingling sensation on the skin that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. It has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia. ASMR signifies the subjective experience of « low-grade euphoria » characterised by « a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin ». It is most commonly triggered by specific acoustic, visual and digital media stimuli, and less commonly by intentional attentional control.
