I am a Member of the International Institute For Complementary Therapists and I am passionate about making Energy Healing available to everyone. Energy Healing has an important complementary role to play along side modern medicine. The word Reiki can be divided into two parts as follows:
Rei - which means "universal". It is also reference to the higher dimension of light and soul. Ki - means "vital life force", the energy that connects us to every living thing. Simply translated Reiki means Universal Life Force or Universal Vital Energy

Reiki treatment benefits noted by the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic include:

Reiki During Surgery
The benefits of reiki during surgery include: patients require less anesthesia, less pain medication, have a shorter hospital stay, and recover faster.
“The highest profile advocate of complementary therapies, especially Reiki, continues to be Mehmet Oz, M.D., Professor and Vice Chairman of Surgery at Columbia University in New York City, Director of the Cardiovascular Institute, and Founder and Director for the Complementary Medicine Program at New York Presbyterian Hospital. Dr. Oz has used Reiki and Therapeutic Touch therapists in his cardiovascular surgeries for more than 10 years. Dr. Oz has conducted research on the effects of Reiki on his surgical patients with Julie Motz, RN, a Reiki-trained therapist, who assisted Dr. Oz during 11 open heart surgeries and heart transplants. These 11 patients had no post-operative depression, pain or leg weakness; no organ rejection (in transplants); a better functioning immune system, and a positive attitude toward healing.”
The largest ongoing study of Reiki in the clinical setting continues to be conducted at Columbia/HCA Portsmouth Regional Hospital, Portsmouth, NH, where more than 8,000 surgical patients have been given pre- and post-surgery Reiki treatments. Reiki is incorporated into their admission procedure and is also administered during transport to surgery. Treatments are given by trained RNs, physical therapists, technicians and support staff. Research results continue to be consistent. All the patients in this study who received Reiki had the need for less anesthesia, had less bleeding during surgery, used less pain medications, had shorter lengths of stay in the hospital, and indicated greater satisfaction with their hospital experience than other patients.
