Audio: Reiki - For Every Clinician presented by James Dillard, MD, DC, LAc, Pamela Miles, Reiki Master

From the 2009 Integrative Healthcare Symposium: PractiCAM Workshop: Reiki--What Every Clinician Needs to Know
Speakers: James Dillard, MD, DC, LAc, Pamela Miles, Reiki Master Reiki is a gentle, light-touch healing practice used by patients and health care professionals for self-care, and offered to patients in such prestigious hospitals as Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, NY-Presbyterian Hospital, Yale-New Haven Hospital, Dana-Farber Harvard Cancer Center, and M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Reiki is non-invasive and incorporating it in clinical practice can support the delivery of health care in a wide range of settings, including ob/gyn, pediatrics, cardiac, pain/palliative care, infectious disease, rehab, and hospice. The lack of standards for Reiki education and practice has led to misinformation and myths, and created challenges to clinical integration. Learning Objectives:
  • Review Reiki research
  • Recognize clinical applications for Reiki
  • Understand why Reiki has no known contraindications
  • Identify a credible Reiki practitioner
  • Distinguish between Reiki and Therapeutic Touch/Healing Touch
  • Experience a brief hands-on sample so you can advise your patients from direct experience
