About this listen

 A podcast for skeptics, scientists, and squiggly-brained humans who want to understand how Reiki actually works. I'm Molly Donlan: Reiki Master Teacher, bestselling author of Mundane Magic, and former skeptic who spent a decade digging into the science of why Reiki works. Expect honest, science-backed conversations about nervous system regulation, the placebo effect, neuroplasticity, distance Reiki, the Japanese history most teachers skip, and why 2 minutes a day beats a 60-minute ritual. No spiritual bypassing. Just science, spirit, and evidence your brain needs.Molly Donlan

    The Science of Reiki Podcast by Molly Donlan
    May 1 2026

    If you've ever been curious about Reiki but your inner skeptic won't let you fully lean in, this podcast is for you.

    I'm Molly Donlan, Reiki Master Teacher, bestselling author of Mundane Magic, and a former skeptic who spent nine years working with survivors of sexual violence before chronic pain, anxiety, and burnout sent me searching for answers my doctors couldn't give me. Reiki was the only thing that worked. So I spent a decade digging into the science of why.

    The Science of Reiki is where I translate that research into plain English. No spiritual bypassing, no pressure to believe, just honest, science-backed conversations about how this practice actually works in your mind, your body, and your everyday life.
