Do you offer Reiki 2 or 3?
YES! Reiki 2 and 3 are only offered to graduates of this program and therefore are not listed publicly on my website.
Every Reiki Master Teacher has their own approach and flair to teaching Reiki and we don’t want you to feel left behind coming into level 2 without the specific groundwork laid in Reiki 1: The Science of Self-Healing.
We have had dozens of students graduate from this program who have gone through level 1 elsewhere and wanted to learn a different perspective of Reiki and dive deep into the science. If you have been trained/attuned before, this course is a great way to deepen your experience with Reiki.
We also offer a bundle discount if you wish to register for Reiki 1 + 2 at the same time. Join the waitlist for more details!
Is there proof that Reiki works?
From the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine:
"The available English-language literature of Reiki was reviewed, specifically for peer-reviewed clinical studies with more than 20 participants in the Reiki treatment arm, controlling for a placebo effect. Of the 13 suitable studies, 8 demonstrated Reiki being more effective than placebo, 4 found no difference but had questionable statistical resolving power, and only one provided clear evidence for not providing benefit. Viewed collectively, these studies provide reasonably strong support for Reiki being more effective than placebo. From the information currently available, Reiki is a safe and gentle “complementary” therapy that activates the parasympathetic nervous system to heal body and mind. It has potential for broader use in management of chronic health conditions, and possibly in postoperative recovery."

🐀 Studies have even proven that Reiki is effective on RATS! 🐀
Two of the studies referenced above looked at the effect of Reiki on rats compared to "sham Reiki" which is a placebo version of Reiki where one goes through the hand motions without proper trainings or attunement.
It was found that Reiki, but not sham Reiki, significantly reduced both the average resting heart rate and the rise in heart rate produced by exposure of rats to loud noise.
Physiological measurements indicate that Reiki is more effective than placebo in reducing resting heart rate, increasing heart rate variability, and reducing blood pressure.
These results indicate that Reiki is more effective than placebo in activating the parasympathetic nervous system AKA your ability to rest, relax, and heal!
Here’s a few more studies that prove Reiki works:
- Effects of Reiki on Post-cesarean Delivery Pain, Anxiety, and Hemodynamic Parameters: A Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial
- The effects of Reiki and hand massage on pain and fatigue in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and fatigue in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
- Reiki improves heart rate homeostasis in laboratory rats
- Effect of Reiki Therapy on Blood Pressure and Alcohol Consumption in Young Adults: A Clinical Trial
- The Effect of Distant Reiki Sessions on Holistic Well-Being
- The Effect of Reiki on Anxiety, Stress, and Comfort Levels Before Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: A Randomized Sham-Controlled Trial
How does Reiki work over the internet?
Reiki is a universal energy, time and space do not make a difference to it.
Consider the last time you watched a video online that made you laugh out loud… That video was filmed prior to you watching it, some distance away from your physical body. And yet it still activated an emotional and physiological response in your body.
Distance Reiki works in the same way!
Can anyone do Reiki?
YES! Reiki energy is universal-- which means it is already flowing within you. There is no way to do Reiki "wrong" and no possible chance of "screwing it up."
In this training there are ample opportunities to feel Reiki energy flowing for yourself, no prior experience working with energy is necessary. My commitment to you is that you WILL be able to feel Reiki energy flowing in your own way before the end of the training.
What if I can't make the live sessions?
If you cannot make the training sessions live, you can watch the replays! The only session you are required to attend live is your small group attunement. Once you are registered you will be able select your attunement date/time from the list of available options.
We take into consideration all time zones when scheduling attunement groups, however if you cannot find a time that works for you out of the available options please email hello@mollydonlan.com and we will accomodate for you!
Do I need to devote a lot of time for Reiki to work?
When it comes to Reiki, duration is less important than consistency. In this training I teach you how to do Reiki for yourself whether you have 2 minutes or a whole hour to devote to your practice.
Let's face it-- you're busy and don't have time to commit an hour every single day: but the busier you are, the more likely you need the benefits of Reiki!
Research backs that you don't need a long session to see results:
A 2015 study tested Reiki's effectiveness at reducing pain in people after they delivered babies via c-section. Reiki was provided over the site of incision twice for only 15 minutes each.
The group that received Reiki reported a 76% decrease in pain, these patients also asked for less pain medication and could go longer between doses compared to the group that received no treatment and the group that received placebo Reiki (aka someone mimicking the hand movements without attunement or training)
