How do you know if Reiki is right for you? Well Reiki is easily accessible and can be used for a variety of concerns be they physical, mental, or metaphysical. Reiki is a form of energy medicine and as such focuses on the energy system of the body. In Asian medical practices, the life force known as Chi, Ki, or Prana courses through the body channelled by a virtual grid, managed at various points by Chakras. Reiki interacts with this unseen energy and the practitioner cleanses and balances these points. One of the most profound experiences that clients perceive is a sense of calm and well being during a Reiki session. Reiki can be channeled by anyone who has recieved an attunement from a Reiki Master. The teachings have been disseminated by the followers of Dr. Usui since the 19th Century in Japan. Reiki is currently being used in Hospitals, Cancer centers, Hospices and other health and wellness practices. Slowly but surely more quantifiable documentation is being provided to support the claims of clients and practitioners. Researchers have been able to document that patients use less pain and anxiety medications after Reiki treatments and have documented faster recovery times than control groups. Reiki is safe for infants and Seniors and can even be used on animal companions. Reiki has been profiled on National TV by Dr. Oz, whose wife is a Reiki Master, as well as other top shows. Reiki practitioners should be professional, knowledgeable and ethical in their practices. If they are unwilling to use their real name, be wary. Are they promising you a cure? No reputable professional can do that--no matter how confidant. Practitioners can have a home office, travel to see you, or have an established practice in an office setting. You can chose the type of practice best suited to you and your needs but make sure you feel safe, comfortable, and in control. A Reiki practitioner should never advise you to stop any medical or psychological treatments but should be willing to work with your medical team to assist you in overall health and wellness. You may find that you need less medication, or can wean yourself from insulin or high blood pressure medication after Reiki, but this should be a decision made by you and your physician. When they ask what's changed--let them know that you are using Reiki and educate the doctor about your successes.
