Reiki Treatment and a new evidence based article

An important event has occurred for those having an interest in Reiki treatment, and that event was the recent publication of an article by a team that included Reiki Master Pamela Miles, and a group of Yale researchers.

I urge Reiki practitioners - especially those attempting to integrate Conventional Medicine and Complementary techniques - to be aware of this new contribution.

Pamela Miles web site is http://reikiinmedicine.org/ and the discussion of this specific article is at

http://reikiinmedicine.org/clinical-practice/reiki-heart-attack-reik/

There have been prior preliminary studies suggesting possible interaction between Reiki treatment and the autonomic nervous system, but this study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology is a significant randomized controlled study carried out at one of the most prestigious academic institutions and published as Pamela notes "by one of the most prestigious peer-reviewed conventional medical journals."

The article is "Effects of Reiki on Autonomkic Activity Early After Acute Coronary Syndrome," Rachel SC Friedman, Matthew M. Burg, Pamela Miles, Forrester Lee, and Rachel Lampert J Am Coll Cardiol 2010; 56; 995-996

This article leaves us much to ponder on - but just for today, consider the reasons for doing Reiki treatment on yourself.
