Reiki Is Blowing Up on Social Media—Here’s the Proof
If you pull Instagram or TikTok up on your phone right now and type “Reiki” into the search bar, your feed will be flooded with thousands or even millions of videos about Reiki. People sharing their love for the practice, people claiming that it's “witchcraft” or “evil,” people actually conducting Reiki healing through the phone for their viewers, and that’s just the first 10 posts.
Our feed has been flooded with Reiki videos forever, and we’re here for it! We just assumed this was because energy healing is our niche, and we engage with that content the most, so the algorithm keeps feeding it to us. We never gave too much thought to if Reiki is actually that popular on social media or not, until a few weeks ago when something unexpected happened on our account.
We Went Viral
On a random Wednesday earlier this month, our marketing associate (Liv) was scrolling through Instagram and a video from the The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast came up with Lauryn Bosstick sharing her story about how Reiki flipped her baby. At first, Liv was shocked that such a popular podcast that she has known about for years was talking about Reiki. Secondly, Liv was shocked at how amazing the story was! Liv immediately got excited to share this story with our Luminara community, so she filmed her reaction to the story and posted it…little did she know that video would go viral! You can see for yourself here.
Minutes after the video was posted, it had already been seen by 16,000 people. Likes, saves, and shares were going up by the second.
Comments were also going up by the second, and we all know by now what comment sections look like these days... Even knowing that we were about to face some haters, we were so excited to start reading through the comments.
People were sharing their own beautiful stories about Reiki:

To be expected, other people expressed their not-so positive opinions about Reiki:

Best of all, what we saw the most was a whole lot of positivity and support:

This made us realize that Reiki is going viral on social media, and our video is not the only one!
