What is possible for Reiki
Since some of my friends have started experiencing menopause symptoms in recent years, one day I found myself researching some methods of relief for this common affliction.
Menopause symptoms and severity of them vary from person to person. For some they may only cause minor nuisances; however, for others they may seriously destroy the quality of life and could lead to severe depression. Until recently, relief from these symptoms largely relied upon hormone replacement therapy (HRT). While effective, the benefits of HRT come with certain risks. In light of these risks, many women nowadays are turning to alternative means of relief, and Reiki happens to be one of them.
Various forms of massages are also used as a relief for menopause symptoms. However, for people with extreme sensitivity, energy therapies such as Reiki may be preferred. Reiki can balance the systems of the body, which maximizes the body's natural ability to heal itself.
Some may think Reiki is akin to voodoo, and its effects are only ”placebo.” However, in fact, hospitals and clinics across America offer Reiki services. These include reputable institutions such as The Cleveland Clinic, John Hopkins and Yale New Haven Hospital. There have been numerous studies done to document effects of Reiki treatment.
According to a research study done at Hartford Hospital in Hartford, Conneticut, Reiki improved patient sleep by 86 percent, reduced pain by 78 percent, reduced nausea by 80 percent, and reduced anxiety during pregnancy by 94 percent.
I have been encouraged by the discovery and am looking forward to learning more about Reiki's potential in medical/clinical settings. The studies like the one that I referred to above lend much needed credibility to Reiki practices.
Going back to the subject of menopause, I feel passionate about finding ways for us women to transition into next stages of our lives joyfully and gracefully. I believe that alternative healing techniques such as Reiki and meditation, in tandem with proper medical supervision, can help us expand possibility of our lives.
