Reiki Healing
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.
It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force
energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low,
then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being
happy and healthy.

Reiki is used in major hospitals throughout Great Britain, the USA, Australia, New Zealand,
Malaysia and elsewhere. In 2007, over 800 hospitals in the USA were offering Reiki to their
patients. (Source – American Hospitals Association, 2007.)
Reiki is a serious therapy, proven to work (with scientific evidence publicly available), and available
in hospitals alongside conventional allopathic medicine.
In the UK and around the world, the benefits of Reiki are beginning to be recognised by the community. As a result of this Reiki is now being used, mainly on a voluntary basis, in a wide variety of settings in the UK including many parts of the National Health Service. For example, at the University College Hospital in London both full-time and part-time practitioners have been employed to give Reiki to patients, particularly those with life threatening diseases. The UK Reiki Federation has a “Pioneers” group and this includes about 12 members who are working with Reiki in hospitals or hospices, mainly on a voluntary basis.
