Abstract:
Object: Evaluation of hands-on Reiki improve the health status of patients with chronic illness as evaluated by electro-dermal screening.

Method: This study was carried out on five patients with life-threatening and chronic illnesses: lupus, fibromyalgia, thyroid goitre, and multiple sclerosis.
The patients were tested three times (before, after 3rd and after 10th treatment) during the study.

Eleven 1-hour Reiki treatments using 4 different Level 2 practitioners and one Reiki Master were performed over a 10-week period. These Reiki practitioners systematically placed their hands over the same body positions, including the neurovascular regions on the cranium, neurolymphatic points on the trunk and minor chakra points on the limbs.
Initially, three consecutive treatments were given and then one treatment per week for eight weeks.

Findings: Each individual was measured for skin electrical resistance at three acupuncture points on hands and feet. At the cervical/thoracic point the measurements went from 25 % below normal to the normal range. The adrenal measurements went from 8.3 % below normal to normal — some time between the middle and last measurements. The spleen measurements went from 7.8 % below normal, to normal after only three sessions. All the patients reported increased relaxation after Reiki treatments, a reduction in pain and an increase in mobility.
