Another study ~ Reiki helps in dealing with fatigue for MS patients. Do you or someone you love need Reiki? Find me at www.LifewaysReiki.org.

New Reiki Research! Published June, 2024. ⁠

"The study showed that Reiki was significantly effective in improving fatigue and sleep quality in people with MS. As Reiki is a simple, inexpensive and accessible method, it was suggested that its use in the management of MS should be encouraged and maintained in nursing practice."⁠

Another significant study. Reiki works!

From the BMC Palliative Care Journal, June 2024, "Therapeutic effects of Reiki on interventions for anxiety: a meta-analysis" article reported:⁠

"Reiki therapy was found to have a significant effect on anxiety intervention." ⁠

More specifically:⁠

"Short-term Reiki therapy interventions of ≤ 3 sessions and 6–8 sessions have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing health and procedural anxiety in patients with chronic conditions such as gastrointestinal endoscopy inflammation, fibromyalgia, and depression, as well as in the general population."⁠

💞 Share the verified scientific research so we can help Reiki move further into the mainstream as a more accepted form of complementary therapies. ⁠

For this moment only, do not worry - the second Reiki Precept. Worry traps us in a future that has not even arrived - may never arrive - and deprives us of our current precious moment. Do not indulge your worries. Release them. Live well in the present. Live the Precepts. This is "the secret art of inviting happiness" (the Founder, Mikao Usui).

Worry...

"There are probably 60 or more published studies that I can point to that show reiki’s benefit, and yet there’s still this persistent myth that no credible science backs reiki,” says neuroscientist Natalie Dyer, Ph.D.⁠

Reiki has had a hard time making its way into the mainstream as an accepted practice. When I first started learning Reiki, and as a former science teacher, I, too, was skeptical about this technique that I couldn't quite wrap my head around.⁠

When I started to learn more about it, some things 'clicked' with what I knew from physics about energy. ⁠And then I witnessed first-hand the benefits of it for myself and my family. With practice, I became a firm believer in this being a technique that could transform our world. That is why my mission is to bring Reiki further into the mainstream.⁠

Science backs the benefits of Reiki in a recent article published by Forbes Health titled, "What Is Reiki and How Does It Work?" written by Victoria Clayton and medically reviewed by Bojana Jankovic Weatherly, M.D., F.A.C.P., M.Sc. ⁠

A good, succinct description of Reiki. Is it time for you to have a Reiki experience? Visit us at www.lifewaysreiki.org and book a free phone consultation to find out. Mention this post for 25% off your first appointment!

A common predicament is how to quickly explain Reiki?

Reiki is a powerful, ancient Japanese healing technique that harnesses universal energy to promote balance, healing, and well-being in the body, mind, and spirit. By channeling this life force energy through gentle touch, it aids in reducing stress, enhancing relaxation, and supporting the body's natural healing processes. It's a non-invasive, holistic approach that complements traditional medical treatments and is accessible to everyone, regardless of age or health condition. Think of Reiki as a key that unlocks your body's innate healing capabilities, leading to a more harmonious, healthy, and balanced life.

Why Conspiracy Theories? — Rev. C. Scot Giles, D.Min., LLC 01/30/2024

Why Conspiracy Theories? — Rev. C. Scot Giles, D.Min., LLC “Why do people keep creating farfetched tales that others are in control? Such things are corrosive to the love and connection that is supposed to tie us together. I will try to explain that, and how a loving and generous spirit can be a remedy.”

In April 2023, ran an article stating, "Delaware nurses say integrative health care—like reiki, aromatherapy and Healing Touch—continues to grow in popularity at their mainstream medical practices."

Let's cheer for Reiki, making its way further into the MAINSTREAM! 👏👏👏
