- January 24, 2020
In The Goop Lab season 1 episode 3, viewers are taken on a journey through the world of energy healing. Host Gwyneth Paltrow and her team explore the practice of reiki, a type of alternative medicine that involves the transfer of universal energy from the practitioner’s hands to the patient’s body.
The episode begins by introducing viewers to two separate reiki practitioners, who both share their personal experiences with the practice and how it has helped them in their own lives. The Goop team then travels to California to meet with Aiden Chase, a celebrity reiki healer who has worked with clients such as Gwyneth herself.
Throughout the episode, Aiden guides the Goop team and several patients through reiki sessions, explaining the various sensations and experiences that can occur during the practice. Viewers are able to witness the emotional and physical transformations that the patients undergo during their reiki sessions, and hear their testimonies about how the practice has helped them release trauma and improve their overall well-being.
The episode also dives into the science behind reiki, with experts and practitioners explaining how it can potentially impact the body on a cellular level. Viewers are shown the results of a study that suggests that reiki can decrease stress and improve the immune system, as well as the benefits of integrating reiki into traditional medical treatments.
As with previous episodes of The Goop Lab, the episode ends with a discussion among the team about their personal experiences with reiki and an invitation for viewers to try the practice for themselves. The episode successfully showcases the potentially transformative powers of energy healing, and encourages viewers to consider alternative forms of medicine in addition to traditional treatments.
