| Reiki is a gentle, light-touch healing practice used by patients and health care professionals for self-care, and offered to patients in such prestigious hospitals as Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, NY-Presbyterian Hospital, Yale-New Haven Hospital, Dana-Farber Harvard Cancer Center, and M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Reiki is non-invasive and incorporating it in clinical practice can support the delivery of health care in a wide range of settings, including ob/gyn, pediatrics, cardiac, pain/palliative care, infectious disease, rehab, and hospice. The lack of standards for Reiki education and practice has led to misinformation and myths, and created challenges to clinical integration. |
