Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by transmitting energy from the hands of the practitioner to the client. The energy being transmitted is the Universal life Force which we all experience and are a part of. In Reiki, the practitioner has been attuned to this energy in a specific way and can bring it through by channeling it through their hands. Anyone can do this and it is easy to learn.
When one's life force is low due to
illness, trauma, or stress, a Reiki treatment can bring a great sense of relaxation and rejunvenation. As one's energy "picks up" there is a greater sense of well being and an opportunity for the body to heal itself.
A treatment feels wonderful and is always relaxing. The client feels a deep release of tension and if there is pain, often the pain is relieved and the client feels much better. Reiki treats the whole person-body, mind, and spirit. It is a simple, natural and safe method for reducing stress and allowing the body to activate it's own healing abilities. It is frequently used as a compliment with medical and therapeutic modalities. Many use Reiki before and after surgery, chemotherapy, and other medical situations. Often the healing process is much shorter than expected as a result of this.

Reiki Rays of Hope received a $2500 grant from the National Council of Jewish Women, Cleveland Section, to train 25 mothers of children with ASD to use Reiki on themselves and their children. Twenty seven participating mothers gave remarkable reports of improved sleeping, less agitation, better focus, improved behaviors, and increased attention span of the children with Autism. These promising results have led to discussions for formal research projects using Reiki with the special needs population.
In an article in Autism/Asperger’s Digest Magazine in 2000, Lewis Mehl-Madrona, MD, PH.D., Coordinator for Integrative Psychiatry and System Medicine, Program in Integrative Medicine, University of Arizona, College of Medicine, Tucson, Arizona, said the following:
“We have done a pilot study of reiki massage for autistic children. The preliminary results are encouraging, especially when the parents are taught the reiki along with visualization in between formal appointments with the therapist. The use of reiki by parents and therapist appears to encourage communication; especially non-verbal communication children are calmer and have less self-stimulation.”
