Been having my team doing some research on Reiki from a scientific perspective and they've come up with some pretty cool conclusions. I've been posting them under the "Reiki" tab in www.hemispherelearning.ca if you want to check them out.
Community & Connection: The in-person aspect of workshops appeals to those seeking community on their spiritual journey. Trainees value the chance to connect and share energy with like-minded people. “We really bonded… In-person gives you the opportunity to chat more with the other students,” one Reiki student noted. Being physically present allows for group meditations, practice sessions, and personal feedback, which create a supportive sense of community. Many find this group energy uplifting and part of the appeal – a contrast to the solitude of online courses. The desire for “spiritual community” and to feel supported and understood is a recurring theme in how seekers talk about attending Reiki circles or classes.
