Reiki ONLY AT OUR GLEN COVE LOCATION
Reiki
(pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese technique for stress
reduction
and relaxation that also promotes healing. Dr. Mikao Usui
founded
this method of healing in the early 1900s and brought it
into prominence
during the after effects of the Kanto earthquake when he
helped
numerous victims. It is a very simple yet powerful healing
art that
can be used on you as well as others and can be easily
learned by
everyone.
The
word Reiki is derived from two Japanese words- - "rei",
meaning Universal Spirit, and "ki" , meaning "life
force energy". The word Reiki, therefore, refers to a
balanced
cosmic and life force energy.
Reiki's
purpose is to assist the body in its on going program for
perfect
health by seeking to balance areas of imbalance. It is
well known
that stress is a prominent factor in the reduction of the
immune
system's effectiveness. Disease is often the result of
stress compromising
the immune system.
Reiki's
goal is to restore and maintain balance. Because of its
unique qualities,
Reiki seems to have a basic consciousness which, when used
for healing,
is able to provide exactly what is needed on all levels.
Reiki treatments
work by dissolving or eliminating toxic energy and
substances from
many levels of ones being whether it is physical,
emotional, or
mental. Its non-evasive nature is conducive to working
with any
other type of treatment.
Reiki
is effective in treating many ailments such as back pain
and arthritis
as well as serious illnesses like cancer and lupus. It is
currently
used in many hospitals throughout the United States such
as Sloan
Kettering, Manhattan Eye and Ear, Marin General and Tucson
Medical
Center. Reiki has been used successfully in the operating
rooms
of Columbia Presbyterian, notably with the famous heart
surgeon,
Melmet Oz.
A
typical Reiki treatment lasts 30 minutes to an hour. The
client
lies clothed on a massage table in a room conducive to the
treatment.
The playing of soothing music helps to heighten
relaxation.
Reiki
is a safe, highly effective healing modality whose
popularity is
rapidly growing throughout the country.

Dr. Andrew
Weil's Self Healing
Reaping Reiki’s Benefits
Nearly 10 years ago, Portsmouth Regional
Hospital in New Hampshire began offering
Reiki, a gentle hands-on healing practice,
as a way to ease anxiety in patients awaiting
surgery. Feedback from patients was so positive
that
Reiki (pronounced RAY-key) was made
available throughout the hospital. Ongoing
program evaluations have shown patients who

and left the hospital sooner. Today, the
hospital has a full-time

that provide 2,000
Reiki treatments a year.
