M.Sc. in Reiki Science

Reiki has electrical and magnetic qualities that can be measured. “We now have a set of logical, testable and refutable hypotheses that can account for the effects of various energetic therapies,” according to James L. Oschman, Ph.D., one of the leading authorities on the science of energy medicine, in his book Energy Medicine in EQUILIBRIUM Energy + Education 850 S. Wabash Ave., Suite 300 Chicago, IL 60605 (312) 786-1882 www.equilibrium-e3.com Therapeutics and Human Performance. “We focus on electrical and magnetic energies because these are the easiest to measure and we know more about their effects.” One of the most basic laws of physics, Ampere’s Law, explains the electrical and magnetic energies in and around the human body. Ampere’s Law says that when electrical currents flow through conductors, whether they are wires or living tissue, a magnetic field is produced in the surrounding space. Since living tissue – including the heart and other muscles, the brain, and other organs – conducts electricity, the laws of physics mean they create a magnetic field around the body, called the biomagnetic field. The modern science of magnetobiology explores the effects of magnetic fields on living systems, and these fields can be measured with such instruments as the magnetometer and the superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). Tools have become increasingly sophisticated for measuring biogmagnetic fields, especially since the emergence of quantum physics. But Western medicine has long used energy-based technologies for patient diagnosis and treatment, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators, lasers, magnetic and electrical biopsies, and more. The electrocardiogram and electroencephalogram have been in use since the 1920s, so working with the biomagnetic field for therapeutic reasons has been a medical practice for almost a century
