What is Reiki?

According to the 2007 National Health Interview Survey, which included a comprehensive survey of CAM (complementary alternative medicine), use by Americans, more than 1.2 million adults had used an energy healing therapy, such as Reiki, in the previous year. The survey also found that approximately 161,000 children had used an energy healing therapy in the previous year.

Reiki is a gentle therapy often combined with massage for relaxation, stress reduction, and symptom relief, in efforts to improve overall health and well-being. Reiki has been used by people with anxiety, chronic pain, HIV/AIDS, and other health conditions, as well as by people recovering from surgery or experiencing side effects from cancer treatments. Reiki has also been given to people who are dying (and to their families and caregivers) to help impart a sense of peace.

Most healers use Reiki in combination with other modalities such as massage, reflexology and chakra clearing. This video, from the government NIH Senior Health website gives a view of a reiki session.
