What if healing isn’t just in your mind—but in your energy field?
Andrea sits down with Dr. Shamini Jain, clinical psychologist, scientist, and founder of the Consciousness and Healing Initiative, for a powerful look at the science behind energy healing. From Reiki and intention affecting cancer cells to the healing power of human connection, Dr. Jain shares groundbreaking research that bridges science and spirituality.
They explore “healing volition,” the role of the biofield, and why joy, presence, and connection are essential to wellness. Whether you’re a healing practitioner or just curious, this episode will expand your understanding of what’s truly possible.
