THe Health Benefits of Reiki

As a system Reiki offers many health benefits. Those who follow the recommended daily practice of Gokai including breathing meditation will know of its physical and mental affect.

Whilst we make no claims re the health outcomes of giving tenohira or reiki to our clients we have had feedback from them about a variety of positive physiological and emotional responses. The following statement comes from Reiki Australia and highlights a high levelresearch project. You can download the article and others from their website.

'An important study that shows the benefits of Reiki treatment in acute coronary care has recently been published in a prestigious peer reviewed medical journal.

"Effects of Reiki on Autonomic Activity Early After Acute Coronary Syndrome", was published 11th September 2010 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC).  

The study shows that patients who received 20 minutes of Reiki treatment within three days of suffering a heart attack had improved outcomes. 

The responses of three groups of patients, to non-invasive, non-drug interventions, were studied.  The first group rested quietly, the second group listened to classical music, and the third group received Reiki.   

Patients in the group who received Reiki showed the greatest improvement in mood and heart rate variability (HRV).  HRV is a key predictor of patient's tendency to suffer another heart attack.

The medical paper has now been loaded to our Reiki Research page. You might like to download it, and share it with your doctor.'
