HEALTH BENEFITS

The main effects of Reiki are symptomatic relief and stress-reduction/ relaxation. These constitute only the proverbial tip of the iceberg, the immediately felt physical results. Subtle effects specific to each individual accumulate with continued treatment.

Due to the nature of Reiki, specific treatment outcomes cannot be predicted and to date no large randomised controlled trials focused on the clinical effects of Reiki have been published. However, there is a growing body of research papers and documented anecdotal evidence that strongly supports the effects of Reiki treatments as below:

In addition, it has often been noted that Reiki positively impacts the recipient's sense of self-agency, fostering willingness to take care of him or herself and creating a happy enthusiasm for health. One simple reason for this is that as overall well-being improves with Reiki and clients become more in tune with their bodies, they are more likely to choose what they truly need to feel good. Thus Reiki can support weight loss and exercise regimes in an easy, natural way, as well as increasing adherence to existing therapeutic protocols.
