Reiki helps one relax deeply & promotes healing!
Thanks Dr. Mehmet Oz for your enlightening and fascinating show on Alternative Medicine — and for including Reiki! Dr. Oz, whose claim to fame began on Oprah, now has his own show. This year he is encouraging people to explore alternative forms of medicine, particularly if their problem area has not been cured/solved by traditional Western medicine.
In the posted video of Dr. Oz’s recent show (YouTube link is at the bottom of this post), Pamela Miles gives a brief Reiki demonstration. Ms. Miles is the founding president of the Institute for the Advancement of Complementary Therapies, and has 35 years experience as a clinician, educator and lecturer in natural healing. She has helped further the acceptance of Reiki in more traditional settings.
Explaining a little bit about the modality of Reiki, she describes it as a “balancing practice” which influences a person’s overall system toward balance. As one’s system becomes more balanced, the symptoms of illness fall away.
Basically, Reiki affects the flow of energy within and around the body. It serves to re-balance the energy field toward improved health. Another way to think of it is as a modality that energetically helps create a healing environment within one’s body. I fully believe that the body has a powerful innate healing system. When this system veers off-course, Reiki can affect a return to the “homeostasis” of balance and well-being.
Reiki is used in many clinical and hospital settings across the country, including Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. As time passes, Reiki is becoming more widely recognized as an effective complementary healing therapy.
Dr. Oz is a supporter of the Reiki modality of healing. His wife is a Reiki Master, and regularly uses Reiki in their home to treat family members. My husband and I have also used Reiki to treat each other when we are ill or have aches/pains, and achieve great beneficial results.
