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.
