Reiki In Japanese
Persons wanting to learn about reiki and various forms of energy healing and about how these therapies may help them will often ask what issues or conditions may benefit from Reiki. A response to that query can be "anything," since everything about us is shaped by vibrational energy and reiki is a simple, powerful way to balance energy patterns.
Reiki refers to energy healing methods using "universal life force energy" that have been taught in a healing tradition developed in Japan in the 1920s by Mikao Usui. Healing with a universal life force, vital force, or spiritual energy is not unique to the reiki healing system, as other energy healing systems and spiritual healing practices have been based on similar concepts. For those who want to hear about specific case reports from reiki recipients and practitioners there is a nice chart shared at the Reiki Medical Research website.
Now, in addition to clinical reports, there are controlled studies of Reiki that have been completed as well as studies done with sizeable clinical samples that are more likely to impress scientists than individual case reports.
The Reiki Medical Research site mentioned above also lists information on studies where Reiki was shown to reduce pain, lower blood pressure, increase hemoglobin levels, decrease depression and anxiety, and lower stress levels. So far Reiki empirical research is somewhat limited, yet the results are generally positive for a variety of health concerns. Reiki is safe and non-invasive - it doesn't even require any physical contact with the recipient as it is an energy field/biofield therapy. We are exposed to many different types of energy fields, such as sound, color, UV light, IR radiation, x-rays, microwaves, radio frequencies, ultrasonic frequencies, and more. It is known that our body and energy system respond to these energies. Reiki is a very natural source of radiant energy that restores harmony to our energy field, helping us recover from the many physical, energetic, emotional, and mental stresses of modern life. It would seem unwise to discount or ignore the benefits of getting our energy tuned up with reiki treatments. Dozens of hospitals now offer reiki treatments to complement other forms of care and a variety of health care practitioners are discovering the benefits of reiki and sharing it with their patients and clients. Reiki is something that anyone can learn and apply for self-care or to benefit others.
