REIKI - (Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy). This energy healing treatment is performed with the client fully clothed. This is not a massage, hypnosis or tool for diagnosing illness. The practitioner will simply place her hands on or above the clients head, shoulders, back, chest, stomach and limbs. The session attempts to balance the client’s energy centers while alleviating pain, promoting stress relief, restful sleep, overall healing and relaxation. All which promote an improved immune system. Reiki is also especially appreciated in hospice care due to its ability to alleviate pain and anxiety for both patient and family members. This treatment is widely used also in hospitals such as
Many ancient cultures embraced the belief that life energy flows through the body, deeply affecting our entire being. Current research strongly suggests that energy does extend throughout and beyond the physical body, and that disruptions or imbalances in its flow correlate to physical, mental and emotional illnesses. The healing art of Reiki (pronounced "RAY-key") addresses these imbalances to support your good health and well-being.
Though the Reiki techniques appear simple, the effects can feel profound. Most people experience deep relaxation. You may also feel tingling, pulsing, a feeling of warmth and comfort, or you may fall asleep.
Results can be subtle. Some recipients say they feel little during the session, but afterwards enjoy a sense of calm and well-being, and a deep, restful sleep. It is possible you could experience powerful sensations or emotions during or after the session.
Studies of Reiki show significant reduction of pain, including cancer pain, following treatments. One study cited improvements in the immune and nervous system function and increased mobility in patients with conditions such as multiple sclerosis, lupus and fibromyalgia. At Portsmouth Regional Hospital in New Hampshire, surgical patients decreased their use of pain medications, stayed for shorter periods and reported increased satisfaction with pre- and postsurgical Reiki sessions.
