    This study investigated the effect of distant Reiki sessions on the holistic well-being of people without no acute/chronic diseases. The study was conducted between February 1 and March 31, 2022. The sample consisted of 180 healthy people living in a city in Turkey. Participants attended 20-minute distant Reiki sessions (intervention) for 4 consecutive days. Pretest data were collected using a personal information form, the Holistic Well-Being Scale (HWBS), the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), and the Subjective Vitality Scale (SVS). Posttest data were collected 2 days (posttest I) and 1 week after the intervention (posttest II) using the HWBS, PANAS, and SVS. There was a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest I and II HWBS subscale scores (P < .05). There was a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest PANAS and SVS scores (P < .05). Distant Reiki sessions improved participants' holistic well-being. They also helped them develop a positive mood, experience and perceive less sadness, and develop subjective vitality and cognitive awareness.

    Aims The aim of this study was to examine the effect of Reiki in patients with cardiac disease. Methods and results This study was a single-blind, pre-post-test, randomized, placebo-controlled study. Patients from the cardiology outpatient clinic of a training and research hospital were randomized into three groups: Reiki (n = 22), sham (placebo) (n = 21), and control (no treatment) (n = 22). Data were collected using a personal information form, biochemical parameters, cortisol levels, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and electrocardiography analysis. The Reiki group received Reiki to nine main points for 30 min, while the sham Reiki group received the same points during the same period without starting the energy flow. On Day 2, distance Reiki was performed for 30 min. After 1 week, the researchers administered the Beck Anxiety Inventory, assessed the biochemical parameters and cortisol levels, and analysed the electrocardiography again. Of the patients, 52.3% were male and 47.7% were female, and the mean age (years) was 60.45 +/- 9.67 years. The control group had a significantly higher post-test cortisol level than the other groups (P = 0.002). According to the post hoc analysis, there was a significant difference between the Reiki vs. control groups and sham vs. control groups (P = 0.002). The control group had a significantly higher post-test cortisol level than the pre-test cortisol level (P = 0.008). Reiki group had a significantly lower mean post-test Beck Anxiety Inventory score than the other groups (P < 0.001). There was no difference between the electrocardiography results of the groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Reiki reduces blood cortisol levels and anxiety levels in patient with cardiac diseases.
