Medical Reiki
What is Medical Reiki?
Medical Reiki™ is the practice of bringing the soothing power of Reiki into an operating room by a Certified Medical Reiki Master™ attuned to the power of Reiki and trained to transmit its nurturing abilities to the patient during surgery while working unobtrusively with the surgical team.
In this very moment, the intense suffering endured by those in medical treatment for their disease is often harrowing, depressing and even life shattering. In these times of escalating catastrophic illnesses, we must bring Medical Reiki forward as a part of conventional medicine, that will be available to all of us who might want our doctors to add it to our treatment plan.
For the past 20 years Medical Reiki has brought great relief to patients by inducing calm, alleviating pain, instilling confidence and activating a deep sense of well-being, all leading to better outcomes. However, it has only been available in certain hospitals to those who could afford to pay for it.
In order to make Medical Reiki available to everyone, and for medical insurance to pay for it, we need evidence-based proof through scientific research. We ask that you please join our team by making a donation to this urgently needed scientific investigation. The results we are aiming to provide with this research are critical for the sake of us all, and your help will insure a better future for medical patients in what might be your own family, or in families far and wide!
