Energy healing has been gaining popularity and acceptance throughout the world in clinics, hospitals and in private practice. Reiki, (pronounced Rei Key), is a form of energy healing which can reduce pain and stress while providing deep relaxation and greater well being. Reiki balances emotions, facilitates personal healing and mental clarity. Energy healing compliments traditional medical treatments and has been shown to reduce the effects of Chemotherapy and Radiation in cancer patients. Reiki is being used at Sloan Kettering, Columbia Presbyterian in New York City, Yale New Haven Medical Center, Northern Westchester Hospital and several other hospitals around the world.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, one of the leading cardiovascular surgeons in the United States, has allowed the use of reiki during open heart surgeries and heart transplant operations. Says Dr. Oz: "Reiki has become a sought-after healing art among patients and mainstream medical professionals. It is believed that Reiki sessions cause patients to heal faster with less pain.

The US Army is also using Reiki and other alternative methods for PTSD patients and just unveiled a $4 Million program to investigate everything from "spiritual ministry, transcendental mediation, {and} yoga," to "bioenergies such as Qi gong, Reiki, and distant healing" to mend the psyches of wounded troops.
