Abstract

This paper explores the emerging integration of Reiki healing practices with digital art therapy in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. As digital technologies transform therapeutic approaches, this interdisciplinary practice merges ancient energy work with virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and AI-generated imagery to address contemporary mental health challenges. Through case study analysis and theoretical exploration, this research examines how Reiki principles enhance psychological outcomes and cultural engagement in digital art therapy settings. Such findings suggest that it produces a unique therapeutic experience that balances technological innovation and holistic healing cultures, which may be able to solve the increased disconnection with constant digital advancements and human health. This point represents a very innovative application of therapeutic practice as well as a cultural discourse in which humanities and social science can transform and evolve within rapidly changing technological environments.
