Dr. Shamini Jain- Health and Interconnection

Welcome to the blog of Featured Articles. I thought I would start with a video posted in July 2022 to ease you into the area of energy healing research. With a focus on connecting relevant and current research to the human healing connection, Dr. Shamini Jain is helping to break the stigma that energy healing is “primitive medicine” and not backed by science.

Shamini explores an interesting study of cancer patients experiencing profound fatigue post chemotherapy. When patients consulted their Western doctors, they were presented with antidepressants despite the lack of depression. These cancer patients were looking for an alternative to pills. This study introduced biofield healing as an alternative healing modality. The results showed that with only 8 healing treatments over the course of one month, patients' energy levels were restored to pre-chemotherapy metrics. This study also revealed that after the healing treatments, patient’s cortisol levels were significantly lowered. Cortisol is our body’s main stress hormone, therefore with lowered levels from the healing treatments, the cancer patient’s stress levels dropped.

Biofield healing, according to Shamini Jain, may seem unbelievable because we have had tunnel vision with our understanding of how health and healing works. This is an opportunity to open our minds and consider the science behind holistic healing practices such as Reiki, as they reduce suffering through compassion and the human healing connection. 

Jain systematically and logically takes us through human interconnectedness in neuroscience to end up in the energy healing space all supported by biofield science.  I find this TEDx talk so inspirational that when I feel I need a boost of enthusiasm I watch it again. 

Thank you Shamini Jain for persistently and courageously pursuing the best possible version of yourself.
