Scientific evidence outlined in The Spirit of Reiki and an article by William Lee Rand in the Reiki News Magazine, Winter 2005, explains the ins and outs of how Reiki works and that it can be measured by electromagnetic fields. Rand’s article states: Through the use of magnetograms, it has been found that each organ in the body has a pulsing electromagnetic field. When the organ is healthy, it pulses within a certain range of frequencies, but when it is unhealthy, it moves out of the healthy range... ...The hands of healers have been found to produce strong pulsating pulsing electromagnetic fields, whereas pulsing fields are not found around the hands of non-healers. When a healer treats someone who is sick, the healer’s hands begin pulsing at a rate that the unhealthy organs or tissues they are treating needs to be healthy. Through the process of magnetic induction or Faradays Law, the healer’s hands induce the healthy frequency into the unhealthy electromagnetic field of the organ thus helping the organ to return to a healthy state.
