Reiki is in Hospitals?
Yes, Reiki is Offered in Many of our Top-Rated Hospitals
Reiki, a form of energy healing, has begun to gain notability in the medical community beyond small private practices.
Prominent hospitals such as Mayo Clinic, Massachusetts General Hospital, Johns Hopkins, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Penn Medicine, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Yale Medicine, Cleveland Clinic, and Hartford Hospital all offer Reiki programs for their patients. Some of these facilities even provide Reiki sessions for the patients' families as well.
"The International Association of Reiki Professionals developed a study, "America's Best Hospitals," which states 60% of the top hospitals had formal or informal Reiki programs in place. All hospitals using Reiki reported that Reiki is at least 'somewhat beneficial' for patients, and 67% of hospitals rated Reiki 'highly beneficial'"
