Reiki Energy Medicine: Bringing Healing Touch Into Home, Hospital, and Hospice

By Libby Barnett, Maggie Babb, Maggie Chambers

Book Overview

Reiki is an ancient, hands-on healing art with origins in the Tibetan sutras. It has been used primarily by individuals in a daily practice that helps recharge, realign, and rebalance energy in the body. Today Reiki is joining other complementary therapies in the conventional settings of hospitals, hospices, counseling centers, emergency rooms, intensive care units. Nurses, physical therapists, surgeons, midwives, and anesthetists report that Reiki can help manage pain and promote healing. Counselors and caregivers treating those with terminal illness find that Reiki gives patients an increased physical, emotional, and psychological ability to cope. Reiki Energy Medicine explains the body's energy system, and describes how Reiki can be used in a variety of settings to balance energy and create the conditions needed for healing. Reiki Energy Medicine is the first book to show how this ancient art of touch therapy can work within our mainstream health care system. As our health-care system challenges institutions to offer high-quality but cost-effective service, Reiki can be an important tool that can help maximize patient care and minimize recovery time. Reiki does not require complicated techniques or extensive training: practitioners of many disciplines are able to easily incorporate it into their specialties.

A library worth having for every healer

There are books which pretend to be a reference point, and there are those which not only are, but also exceed readers' expectations. These are some of those! Read them twice and heal the universe. A library worth having for every healer. (1). The Power of Divine: A Healer's Guide - Tapping into the Miracle by Tiffany Snow (2). Molecules Of Emotion: The Science Behind Mind-Body Medicine by Candace B. Pert (3). Energy Medicine by Donna Eden, David Feinstein, Brooks Garten, Caroline Myss (4). Reiki Energy Medicine: Bringing the Healing Touch into Home, Hospital and Hospice by Libby Barnett, Maggie Chambers, Susan Davidson (5). A Practical Guide to Vibrational Medicine : Energy Healing and Spiritual Transformation by Richard Gerber

Fantastic!

As an RN, and a CRNA, I found this text especially appealing. Good explanations of just what reiki is about are extremely helpful. As I have just recieved my reiki 1 attunements, I found many of the suggestions very helpful to my practice of anesthesia, and reiki! Thanks and well done!

A great Reiki book for the Western mind

This is one of the most down-to-earth descriptions of Reiki and its uses in the fields of health and healing I have read. It does not turn off the average person by getting too bogged down in mysticism, metaphysics, or new-agey language. It is written by two registered nurses who use Reiki in their jobs. Western medicine meets ancient healing arts. GREAT!
