The Benefits of Reiki

To help you more fully understand how Reiki benefits you -whether it’s a release of tension or an energy boost or both, Reiki gives you what you need:

Reiki relieves pain and speeds up recovery from surgery or long-term illness and disease, by supporting and activating your body's natural ability to heal itself.

Reiki is safe to treat symptoms of imbalance: chronic and acute conditions, stress-related disorders, conditions related to sinus, cystitis, menopause, migraine, asthma, arthritis, chronic fatigue, sciatica, insomnia, and depression, to name a few.
Reiki calms; it relieves stress, reduces stress, provides deep relaxation, comfort, and peace.

Reiki increases energy levels and increases mental clarity.

It can improve blood circulation and boost the immune system.
Reiki detoxifies the body and cleanses the organs (liver, kidneys, arteries, spleen, gall bladder, lungs & heart).

Reiki offers relief during emotional distress and sorrow and may help in the grieving process. It cleans and clears suppressed or blocked emotions & feelings.

Reiki (energy healing) always compliments & supports conservative (modern) medical treatment.

Athletes recover and heal faster from injuries and find enhancement in their performance.
Because Reiki is balancing, it can be of benefit regardless of the type of “disorder” and can provide soothing moments for parents and kids alike.

Reiki Supports Your Health Care Needs

Reiki practice is safe, and cannot interfere with any medical care you are receiving. Even when you are taking prescription medications, Reiki can help you. Reiki practice is safe, and the improvement you experience might mean you need less medication. That’s a good thing, but please don’t adjust your meds on your own. Always consult your physician before making changes in your medications.

If you try a Reiki session (or any type of energy healing) and are completely closed off to the prospect of being healed, or completely skeptical, no practitioner in the world will be able to do much for you. Then those skeptics can walk away, saying, “I knew it, I was right, Reiki doesn’t work.”

What is so interesting, in personal training you learn that if someone has an issue with a joint, where the pain is felt is usually not the origin of the injury. So if your knee is bothering you, and you go to a fitness trainer or physical therapy place here in Niagara Falls, or St. Catharines, they might look to see if something is going on at the next joint away from the knee – the ankle or the hip.

Reiki benefits (and Biorgonomy), go beyond the level of the physical. When we treat someone, we are picking up on their emotions, and/or things they’re carrying around in their energy field that they don’t even realize are there.

For example, feelings of resentment are the most unhealthy feelings to carry around with you AND the most common. Feelings of resentment are the most deep-seated energies I come across. Most of the time, people who I see are maybe just starting to deal with their resentments, or more likely, are aware of them but don’t know how to address them. That kind of energy affects not only your thought process, they also really strongly affect your body. That’s a concept that a lot of people find hard to accept and I don’t blame them. I mean, most doctors, if you go to them and say you have some kind of pain, their first question is not going to be, “Well, how are things at home?” So the idea of emotions affecting us physically is not something that’s mainstream to our culture.

Complementary Vs. Alternative

According to a 2012 national survey, many Americans—more than 30 percent of adults and about 12 percent of children—use healthcare approaches that are not typically part of conventional medical care, or that may have origins outside of usual Western practice.

When describing these approaches, people often use “alternative” and “complementary” interchangeably, but the two terms refer to different concepts:

If a non-mainstream practice is combined with conventional medicine, it’s considered “complementary.”

If a non-mainstream practice is used in place of conventional medicine, it’s considered an “alternative.”

reiki in hospitals

Reiki in hospitals? Just the latest fad? Perhaps not.

A research study at Hartford Hospital in Hartford, Conn., indicates that Reiki improved patient sleep by 86%, reduced pain by 78%, reduced nausea by 80% and reduced anxiety during pregnancy by 94%. Additionally, a survey of nurses found that Reiki in hospitals helps patients heal faster with less pain, reduces stress and improves negative attitudes, improves appetite and reduces the negative side-effects of chemotherapy, radiation and other medical procedures.

About Us

Integrative Health

Many have sought Reiki treatment or training realizing that balancing their systems can help them to cope better with a wide range of health conditions, including:

Cancer
Heart disease
Anxiety
Depression
Chronic pain
Infertility
Neurodegenerative disorders
ADD/ADHD
Autism/developmental delays
HIV/AIDS
Crohn’s Disease
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Traumatic brain injury
Emotional illness, including mild psychosis
Fatigue syndromes
End-of-life care and bereavement

Integrative health care often brings conventional and complementary approaches together in a coordinated way. It emphasizes a holistic, patient-focused approach to health care and wellness—often including mental, emotional, functional, spiritual, social, and community aspects—and treating the whole person rather than, for example, one organ system. It aims for well-coordinated care between different providers and institutions.

Cancer treatment centres with integrative health care programs may offer services such as acupuncture and meditation to help manage symptoms and side effects for patients who are receiving conventional cancer treatment.

Reiki in Canadian Hospitals

In recent years, the popularity of alternative treatments as a whole has grown dramatically in Canada. According to research conducted by Insights West, as many as 10% of people surveyed reported having tried reiki at some point during their lives. The majority of those Canadians who reported having tried Reiki viewed the treatment positively and found it to be effective. This research also shows that more Canadians are calling for the inclusion of alternative treatments like Reiki as a standard healthcare option.

Several institutions have conducted studies to determine whether using Reiki in hospitals is a beneficial treatment for patients who have been hospitalized. One such study that focused on Canadian hospitals was published in the Journal of Palliative Care in 2013. The study found that providing patients with reiki treatment led to lower levels of discomfort, restlessness, anxiety, and pain. Reiki treatment was also associated with mood improvements. The study ultimately concluded that reiki was a valuable addition to the treatment options offered at the hospital.
