Over two weeks ago, I finally wrote and published my post about The Telepathy Tapes, a podcast which ultimately is about non-speaking autistic people and how they fit into this world. However, as the documentarist and podcaster, Ky Dickens, reveals during the episodes of the first season, things are not as they seem.
Dickens’ companion podcast, Talk Tracks, is meant to further explore ideas expressed in The Telepathy Tapes. Coming from various viewpoints, Talk Tracks tries to connect ideas of science, reality, spirituality and psi-abilities into a better understanding of our conscious existence.
Two episodes have dropped since I shared my post, and the one that came out this past weekend is the one I’ve been waiting for. Dr. Shamini Jain and Madhu Anziani speak about their personal experiences in reference to energy healing, energy work, and in particular, Reiki. Deepak Chopra is even brought in to talk about consciousness as a whole.
From miraculous healing to the dissection of energy work through the lens of science, the biofield of life is explored. This field of consciousness is unmasked. Double blind and placebo controlled studies are mentioned; a paraplegic walks again.
If you’ve ever been intrigued by energy work, energy healing, energy medicine, energy therapy, energy psychology, whatever you want to call it, you need to listen to this episode. The Telepathy Tapes itself was hard for me to listen to without getting excited about the broader context of what was being described. But having Talk Tracks finally deep dive into Reiki itself, has given me an added bounce to my step.
The studies Dr. Jain mentions in the podcast seem to come back to the same premise—> there’s just something about that energy healing! Placebo can heal; physical touch is great. But if intention is involved, intention to connect to a healing energy, well…
In one study, cortisol levels were remarkably regulated during energy healing sessions in comparison to the sham energy work sessions. I’m not a fan of testing animals, but another study of mice showed the slowdown of cancer cells with energy work.
I’m not here to convince you that energy healing is real. I’m here to convince you to listen to this episode of Talk Tracks, and what the hell, check out The Telepathy Tapes website, or just listen to all of the dang episodes while you’re at it.
The episode ends with Chopra asking us to have reverence. He thinks we should be in wonderment that we are here witnessing life, as life. He says we should be surprised that we even exist.
Are you shocked? Listen now!
