Has anyone tried Reiki?

My friend suggested I have Reiki done while I’m undergoing minor foot surgery. She said it might help the healing process. Has anyone had any experience with this?

    Hi Cyndy,  I am a Reiki practitioner.  I learned Reiki about 4 years ago and found it very helpful for a lot of physical and emotional situations.  It is safe and gentle, and many health care professionals in my area use it in hospital settings with their patients to help reduce pain and speed healing.  I hope your surgery goes very well.

    I am a nurse and a reiki practioner.  Reiki is offered as a credited CE class for nurses.  Reiki is a wonderful experience that can help with all aspects of life positive and negative.  Keep an open mind and yes it can absolutely help with the healing process

      Reiki is a hands-on healing technique that is based on the universal life force energy. It is a Japanese-based system that can be very effective in facilitating the healing process. William Rand has a good web site that will provide lots of excellent information. I work with Reiki and have personally seen it work miracles. While each person will respond individually, the one good thing is that it will never do harm. Hope that helps.

    I think Reiki is terrific. Has helped me through some rough physical challenges, everything from a broken shoulder to the flu.  That said,  I’m hoping it’s more than an act of faith (in fact, would be interested in reading blind studies, where people “think” they’re getting vs. those who actually are) although sometimes, anything that can activate faith is worth paying attention, too, as well!

    My sister, Trisha, is a Reiki Master and teaches Reiki.  I have had her use it on me an other loved-ones.  It works if you have the faith.
