Introduction
According to the 2007 National Health Interview Survey more than 1.2 million adults and approximately 161,000 children had used an energy healing therapy, such as Reiki.
Reiki therapy is proving useful in hospices, nursing homes, emergency rooms, operating rooms, organ transplantation care units, pediatric, neonatal and OB/GYN units; facilitating relaxation and recovery and decreasing anxiety and pain; it can be a helpful addition to conventional therapy for HIV/AIDS and cancer patients.
Reiki complements and enhances all types of medical treatment. It helps relieve stress, agitation and acute and chronic pain; it is helpful as an aid for sleeping; and it also can be an energizer. It promotes the release of emotions such as grief, anger or anxiety and provides comfort in palliative care.

What is Reiki?
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. Reiki healing sessions work on all physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Reiki is the Japanese word for universal life force energy and is the name of a healing therapy which maximizes the benefit from this universal energy. Reiki was rediscovered in the late 1800’s in Japan by Mikao Usui, a Buddhist who dedicated his life to the study of hands-on healing methods.
How does it work?
Reiki practitioners have received both instruction and Reiki attunements which raise and accelerate their energy flow. The practitioner provides a Reiki session by the gentle act of “laying on of hands” with the intention to be of assistance. The result is that the health giving life force energy in the recipient’s body becomes amplified and balanced. Reiki sessions can even be done remotely with a practitioner directing the Reiki energy anywhere and anytime to an individual or group.
Every person responds differently to Reiki. The person being treated is not “healed” by the practitioner. The person’s healing comes from the life force flowing through the Reiki practitioner that boosts the person’s own healing capacity.
You are a participant in your own health care and are always in control.
What can I expect from a Reiki session?
With an in-person treatment, you will either sit on a chair or lie on a comfortably padded massage table, fully clothed, for approximately 30 minutes to one hour. Modesty is respected at all times. The Reiki practitioner will place his or her hands gently on top of your clothing over key positions on your body. Many people fall asleep during the treatment because they feel so relaxed.
What you may feel before, during and after a session
The body needs to release the toxins and your organs of elimination as the energy clears out the blockages and any repressed emotions which are often the cause of illness and disease. Your body will be energetically supported to help with this.
There may be some tiredness and some people may have odd aches and pains surface and release. Sometimes the aches and pains may last from a few minutes to a day or longer. If you are feeling tired, try and get as much rest as possible. When we release the old emotions, deep healing can take place.
If you feel this happening to you, don’t be alarmed and just know it is very helpful and healing. Allow any emotions to come up and don’t try and hold them down.
