Nurses who are also Reiki Practitioners?

[Anaclaire]

I'm very interested in Reiki and was wondering if anyone knows/does Reiki either in their personal life or in their nursing career.

Our state board of nursing approves CEUs for a "Reiki Seminar for Health Professionals" taught by a certain Holistic College whose instructors meet some very rigorous standards. I am excited to be able to "learn" Reiki while chalking up CEUs at the same time. I'd love to be able to use Reiki in concert with patient care in some way.

Any information would be appreciated.

I have been practcing Reiki for some time and it is my understanding that a person has to be open to receiving energy for it to work. Where I am, there are some hospitals that will not allow the staff to use alternative therapies. I would first find out if your place of employment has any concerns. If not, you could freely bring it up with patients as a mode of healing and explain the benefits. Hope that helps!

I am a nurse who co-coordinates our hospital Reiki Clinic. There is also a Reiki in Hospitals website.

Patients find it totally relaxing and say Reiki helps them cope with pain and anxiety.

Buddy,

Have you ever encountered Medical Qigong in a hospital setting? Just curious as Reiki seems so more widespread... How does the Reiki program at your hospital operate? I would have PMed you.. but I'm below the 15 post min. :)
