Note that there are many centres, especially in the non-profit sector, where Reiki is provided on a voluntary basis, and no information is available on the WWW. From Nursing World Magazine http://www.nursingworld.org/ojin/topic15/tpc15_6.htm , as of 1991, " Forty-seven percent (25) of the BONs (Boards of Nursing) who permitted (Alternative Therapy practice by nurses) had statements or positions that included specific complementary therapies or examples of these practices; thirteen percent (7) were in the process of discussing the topic and, forty percent (21) had not formally addressed the topic, but did not necessarily discourage these practices." In many cases where the practices were identified, Reiki was specifically included in the list of identified therapies. Some states include the practices explicitly within the practice of nursing, and some exclude it.


In Reiki—Review of a Biofield Therapy: History, Theory, Practice, and Research, Pamela Miles and Gala True, PhD list some twenty-five hospitals and clinics in the United States that provide Reiki. Further, they observe that "The majority of these programs have not been subject to systematic evaluation due to budgetary and time constraints. However, staff, patients, and program administrators report a number of benefits including reduced anxiety and lower use of pain medications, increased patient satisfaction for surgical patients, and decreased numbers of self-reported common gerontological complaints such as anxiety, loneliness, insomnia, and pain among older individuals living in the community. Reiki can easily fit within the harm reduction model and can be successfully used in self-treatment in combination with appropriate medical/psychiatric care by people with combined HIV and psychiatric diagnoses for emotional centering, pain management, and support in recovery readiness."



★ Research, Articles, and Studies

Health Care Centres providing Reiki and teaching programmes in universities, colleges, and hospitals are now on our Existing Programmes Page http://www.magma.ca/~peterz/existing.htm .

The first group of papers is ours: these provide an overview of existing research in an area and describe how the documented effects of Reiki apply to the symptoms of a particular condition. Due to the fact that each note has to stand on its own merits, and there is a lot of overlap between conditions (e.g., material on pain management), there is necessarily some overlap between them.
