REIKI (Pronounced Ray-kee)    REIKI is a form of energy medicine developed in japan in the late 800s. According to a vast body of primarily anecdotal literature, it is effective for improving pain and psychological well-being, (-) while appearing to have few, if any, adverse effects. Reiki generally is delivered by a practitioner who lightly touches the patient (direct-contact Reiki). Reiki can also be sent without physical contact with the patient (distant Reiki). With training, Reiki can be self-administered, making it a low-cost, low-risk, patient-empowering intervention for chronic conditions. Distant Reiki can be delivered in the patient's presence (i.e., across the room) or from great distances (i.e., across continents).
