Reiki In Health Care
Approximately 60% of hospitals in the U.S. now offer Reiki to their patients with
several conducting on-going scientific studies including the Cleveland Clinic. Reiki
compliments a wide variety of medical treatments, psychological counseling and
massage therapy. Reiki is appropriate for patients in any state of health and is easily
practiced in all hospital environments from outpatient clinics to intensive care and
hospice care.
Reiki is gentle enough to offer support and reduce the discomforts of pregnancy and can
help ease the pain of childbirth. Hospitals such as Metro Health Medical Center and the
Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, OH, Tucson Medical Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering
Cancer Center and Pennsylvania's St. Mary Medical Center have Reiki practitioners
available to a range of patients including those with cancer or recovering from surgery.
Reiki is especially appreciated in hospice care due to its ability to alleviate pain and
anxiety for both patients and family members.
Research studies of Reiki show a significant reduction of pain. Patients also report
increased feelings of relaxation and sense of well-being. One study cited improvement
in 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 experienced less bleeding, decreased their
use of pain medications, stayed for shorter periods of time and reported increased
satisfaction with both pre and post surgical Reiki sessions.
Reiki can alleviate pain, inflammation, stress, tension and anxiety and promote restful
sleep, relaxation and healing. Relaxation in itself promotes a host of benefits for the
mind and body including a heightened sense of well-being, release of painful muscle
tension and relief from anxiety and depression. In addition, relaxation has been shown
to help restore immune function and improve circulation, lower blood pressure and
heart rate, enhancing the healing process throughout the body. Reiki can benefit people
of any age and in any state of health. Whether at home, in a clinic or hospital, sessions
adapt easily to any situation. Reiki is not only healthful, but pleasurable. One of its
greatest benefits may be the opportunity to let go and enjoy the comfort and experience
of being nurtured and cared for.
