Have you felt warmth and/or vibration from a Reiki practitioner's hands?

Question

If so, what do you think the scientific explanation is of those sensations from this method of healing?

Answer 1

Pascha

I am a spiritual healer, I do not touch the body on most occasions & all clients feel a heat radiating from my hands. When my hands are touched the heat is not there.

The heat is channelled energy & the reaction of it with the clients aura.

Yes. I didn't find the vibration as fascinating as the visual effects when he had his hands near my head. I'm not a very visually minded person and it takes me forever to visualize something with my eyes closed. The moment his hands went near my head I saw these amazing, swirling colors. The colors were changing the only way I can almost describe it is like a kaleidescope in my head. The other thing I found interesting was the fact that he knew I was pregnant before I did. When his hands were over my lower tummy, he asked if I'd been peeing a lot. I answered yes and asked if everything was okay. He said "just make a doctors appointment to get checked". I was a little freaked but he didn't seem to be. I found out I was pregnant about a week later. I went back and asked him about it...and he smiled and told me he didn't want to tell me..lol. I have no idea about the scientific explanation, just that my own personal experiences make be believe that there is something to it.

You'd have to be careful about what you're actually feeling. Certainly the practitioner's hands will be warm anyway, and the action of massage will make them even warmer. How can you tell if the warmth is paranormal and not simply biophysical?  Also, the movements and rubbing and so forth will make it difficult to discern vibrations if any are occurring, but if they are, is it simply the force of the massage causing the bench or table you're laying on to wiggle?

Answer 4

There is no scientific explanation for "feeling". In order for the human body to have senses and "feel" things several proven laws of physics would have to be violated.
