Surging Interest in Reiki as a Healing Modality

Dr. Mehmet Oz, well-known television personality and highly respected cardiac surgeon, recently praised the benefits of Reiki on his daily syndicated television program. As he explained it, Reiki is a form of energy medicine, what Dr. Oz describes as “the medicine of the future”.
We all have experienced a sensation of energy, or what may be thought of as magnetism. Reiki is a form of energy that supports the body, mind and spirit in maintaining or returning to balance and harmony. Reiki enables the body to do what it does best – heal itself.  In receiving Reiki, the body eases into a state of relaxation and lowered stress response. This results in an altered energetic state, opening the body’s potential to heal. Reiki strengthens the immune system, assists in clearing emotional or physical trauma, and offers quality of life support for those who are in hospice care. At Wellness and You we see people who are having a difficult time managing stress, or are recovering from an illness, or are undergoing treatment for cancer. Said one recipient: “Receiving Reiki is like having your own personal healing kit at your fingertips.”
