At The Reiki Sanctuary, I have witnessed again and again how Reiki helps calm nervous systems stuck in survival mode, soften grief, ease pain, support emotional resilience, and invite deep rest. But beyond lived experience, is Reiki supported by research? 

The Reiki Precepts are simple phrases, yet they carry the wisdom of a lifetime. They are not rules to follow or ideals to perfect. They are gentle invitations — a way of remembering who we are beneath stress, fear, habit, and self-judgment.
