Dr. Oz on Reiki...
The word Reiki translates as "Divinely Guided Life Energy". Reiki
is a type of gentle energy healing used to encourage relaxation,
reduce stress, and enhance healing. Because Reiki energy healing
works with the energies of Divine love and compassion we know that
Reiki can do no harm. We have personally experienced how human
beings, interpersonal relationships and situations, animal companions,
and plants all benefit from receiving the soothing energy of Reiki...and
that's just the beginning.
There are many types of energy healing in the world and across
history; the type of Usui and Tibetan Reiki we practice is derived from
the teachings of a Tendai Buddhist, Mikao Usui, who lived in Japan at
the beginning of the 20th century.
There are millions of stories about how Reiki:
There are clinical research studies about the positive healingeffects of Reiki, including a double-blind clinical study conducted by
the University of California which showed Reiki to reduce the size of
glioblastoma (a brain tumor). Reiki is recognized by the U.S. National
Institutes of Health as a complementary alternative medicine, and is
offered as a complementary healing modality in top research hospitals
(such as Yale-New Haven Hospital) and around the country and the
world.
One common way to receive Reiki treatment is during a Reiki Session,
a relaxing 60- or 90-minute process performed while you recline
comfortably on a massage table. Unlike massage, clients remain fully
clothed during a treatment, and Reiki does not involve tissue
manipulation; in fact, Reiki can be performed using hands-on or hands-
off treatment, and for this reason Reiki is a particularly useful modality
for helping people recovering from burns, broken bones, and other
issues for which direct physical touch is not indicated. Another way
someone may receive Reiki is through a distant healing session or
during a Reiki Circle or other community event. For us, we often
perform Reiki treatment on ourselves when we engage in regular Reiki
meditation practice.
Reiki is not a religion--Reiki is a nondenominational modality for
encouraging relaxation and personal peace that is practiced by millions
of people around the world from all walks of life and of all belief
systems. There are Reiki practitioners who are Christian, Buddhist,
Jewish, Hindu, and any other religion that may come to mind--there are
also practitioners not aligned with any religion in particular. One of the
many reasons we enjoy sharing Reiki so much is that it is open to
everyone.
Reiki translates as "Divinely-guided life energy," a loving life energy
that flows according to a broader and deeper wisdom than we as
human beings can fully explain. We and our students have found that
the introduction of Reiki to any situation has only enhanced the
positive outcome of that situation, and following our Reiki teachers we
often like to respond to this question by saying: "When is the energy
of Divine Love inappropriate?"
