REIKI AS A HOLISTIC THERAPY
Increasingly Reiki is being accepted around the world as an effective holistic therapy that can be used alongside other treatments to enhance the body's own healing mechanisms.
"There is a significant body of evidence which suggests Reiki’s positive effects for the relief of stress, anxiety, sleep deprivation, chronic and acute pain, especially among staff with burnout syndrome. By helping to promote relaxation and improve sleep, Reiki may help to boost the immune system." - Reiki Medic-Care
Reiki is being seen more and more as a powerful method of healing that is gaining acceptance around the world. Although there is still little scientific evidence for the benefits of Reiki, widespread anecdotal evidence is indicating that regardless of the science, people are, in their millions gaining significant health benefits from the application of Reiki in their lives.
​
It’s common for recipients to report feelings of relaxation and warmth and a sense of emotional uplift after receiving Reiki. The more they receive Reiki, the more they experience longer lasting periods of relaxation and calmness in their lives. Sometimes old problems, never fully dealt with can resurface to be finally swept away. These could be of a physical or mental/emotional nature.
​
One of the benefits of Reiki is that it can be used on those who are in significant pain and are unable to be touched or to tolerate touch. Other research has shown that Reiki treatments decrease anxiety and pain, reduce fatigue and improve quality of life and reduced depressive episodes during such medical treatments as colonoscopy, abdominal hysterectomy and a variety of cancer treatments.

One of the benefits of Reiki as a therapeutic method is that belief is not required. Whether your nearest and dearest believes in the effectiveness of Reiki or not, it will work anyway.
​
It is not a requirement, however, to commit to working on others if you learn Reiki. Many people take Reiki training for their own benefit and have no wish to work on others. This is perfectly fine. The primary function of Reiki is as a self-development and self-healing practice. Find out more about Reiki in a self-healing context.
