What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that
also promotes healing. Reiki is a spiritual healing art, performed using specific hand positions
over a clothed body. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based
on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what
causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more
likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of
being happy and healthy.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and
self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping
virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect.
It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to
relieve side effects and promote recovery.
What does the word Reiki mean?
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "Universal or
God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki
is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."
What does a treatment feel like?
A Reiki session is pure indulgence as well as healing. Great for health
recovery as well as general wellbeing. A treatment feels like a wonderful
glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole
person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial
effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.
Many have reported miraculous results.
Is Reiki part of a religion?
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a
religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to
learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will
work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people
find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their
religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.
While Reiki is not a religion, it is still
important to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others.
Dr. Mikao Usui,
the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one
practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are
nearly universal across all cultures.
The procedure
The patient sits or lies comfortably, fully clothed. The practitioner places
their hands on or over the patient's body at 12 key areas. The transfer of
universal energy is experienced by the patient as a warmth or tingling. Many
patients report feeling relaxed and refreshed after treatment.
Universal energy
 Reiki is based on the premise that universal energy flows through all living
things. When blockages occur, this energy cannot flow freely through the body.
An experienced Reiki practitioner tunes into the universal energy and channel
energy to move these blockages. With these blockages removed, the body cells are
then prompted to heal naturally.

Is Reiki
Effective?
The Use of Reiki in Hospitals (American
Study)
A survey by the International Association for
Reiki Professionals (IARP) of “America’s Best Hospitals” to determine the
extent that Reiki is used at the world’s finest and most progressive hospitals
and what kinds of programs if any, formal or informal, are in place. What we
found was: 60% of the respondents have Reiki programs, formal or informal, in
place.
Patricia Reilly, RN, MSN, Program Manager for
Integrative Care at Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA has ranked Reiki as
highly beneficial for both patient and hospital. Ms. Reilly also added that
“From my experience, patients really appreciate and enjoy the treatments.” Based
on her experience with Reiki in the program, she highly recommends that other
hospitals offer Reiki to their patients.
Of the hospitals that offer Reiki, just about
all said that they believe Reiki to be at least somewhat beneficial for
patients. 67% of hospitals that offer Reiki went above and beyond that to say
that they believe Reiki to be highly beneficial for patients. For more
info see www.iarp.org
Another study
The vast majority of reports
on the effectiveness of Reiki appear in popular rather than scientific
literature. Proponents of Reiki cite the growing body of research in the field
of Therapeutic Touch as evidence of the therapeutic transfer of energy through
touch.
One California study showed
that Reiki can increase hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. The study compared 47
people participating in Reiki training and a small control group of 9 healthy
medical professionals. The study found a significant increase in hemoglobin and
hematocrit levels among the Reiki group and no significant change in the control
group.
