Become A Reiki Practitioner
The decision to become a Reiki Practitioner is an important decision.
Reiki is becoming increasingly popular with the medical community, with over 800 hospitals across the U.S. offering Reiki as a standard part of hospital care.
The word Reiki (pronounced Ray Kee) comes from Japanese kanji (ideograms used in the written language of Japan). Because ideograms are characters or symbols representing an idea or a thing without expressing the pronunciation of a particular word or words for it, kanji can have many levels of meaning. Reiki is commonly translated as “Universal Life-force Energy” and more deeply translated as “Spiritually Guided Life-force Energy”.
The practice of Reiki is a non-intrusive method of hands-on healing. During a Reiki session, healing energy lulls you into a deeply relaxed state. It is this deep relaxation that increases energy as the body rests and becomes revitalized during the session. Tracey is a master-level Reiki teacher.
A research study at Hartford Hospital, in Hartford, Connecticut indicates that 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. In addition, nurses report that Reiki helps patients heal faster with less pain, reduces stress and improves mental attitude, improves appetite, and reduces the negative side effects of chemotherapy, radiation and other medical procedures.
