This study attempted to capture the mechanism behind biofield energy.

🌱 Arriving back home, in your body 🌱

Wellness research suggests that mindfulness and body awareness practices can improve emotional regulation, reduce anxiety, and strengthen the mind-body connection. In a world that constantly pulls attention outward, reconnecting with your body through stillness, reflection, and presence can create a deeper sense of safety and self-awareness. Studies also show that grounding practices help decrease stress and support overall psychological well-being.

Coming home to yourself is not a destination – it is a practice. Welcome yourself.

Researchers compared 2 massage sessions, 2 Reiki sessions, and 4 Reiki sessions in 87 adults receiving hormone therapy for breast or prostate cancer. All three interventions reduced cancer-related fatigue, but Reiki demonstrated the largest improvements, particularly among those who received four Reiki sessions.⁠
⁠
Researchers found:⁠
✅ Both Reiki and massage significantly reduced cancer-related fatigue.⁠
✅ Reiki demonstrated larger improvements in fatigue than massage.⁠
✅ Participants receiving four Reiki sessions experienced the greatest improvements in overall fatigue, worst fatigue, and fatigue interfering with daily life.⁠
✅ Reiki was found to be safe, well accepted by participants, and feasible to deliver in a clinical setting.⁠
⁠
This study adds to the growing body of evidence supporting Reiki as a complementary therapy alongside conventional cancer care. While larger clinical trials are still needed, these findings suggest Reiki as a supportive option for people experiencing cancer-related fatigue during hormone therapy.
