The present study aimed to examine
the efficacy Reiki on Perceived Stress among software professionals. The effect
of Hands on reiki, Distance reiki and Distance reiki placebo was investigated
in this study.120 software professionals from a software firm situated at
Bangalore who met the inclusion exclusion criteria were taken up for the study.
Sample was divided into four groups, hands on reiki group, distance reiki
group, distance reiki placebo group and one control group (30 participants in
each group). Hands on reiki and distance reiki healing were done for
participants in the respective experimental groups for 5 minutes daily over 21
days. Distance reiki placebo group was not given any healing; the participants
were just assured to be healed. Pre and post assessment was done for all three
experimental groups. The control group was not given any intervention program
however; the control group was assessed at two time intervals- pre and post
assessment. The obtained data was analysed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA
and paired t-test to assess statistically significant difference within the
group and between the groups before and after assessment. The results of the
study reveal that there is significant reduction in perceived stress for the
hands on reiki group and the distance reiki group. There was no significant
change in the perceived stress levels of the distance reiki placebo group and
the control group from pre to post assessment.
