Research: Reiki Training for Caregivers of Hospitalised Children
May 21, 2026Using MRI brain scans, Harvard researchers found that meditators had measurably thicker brain tissue in regions responsible for attention, body awareness, and sensory processing. The effect was greater in older meditators, suggesting regular practice protects the brain from age-related thinning.
In Usui Reiki Ryoho, convergent meditation practices — Gassho, Joshin Kokyu Ho, and focused breath work — train precisely the attention and body-awareness centres shown to grow with practice. The practitioner who sits daily is building the brain capacity that underpins the system.
