Reiki with Western Medicine

Even the strongest proponents of Western healthcare can't argue the fact that nature provides medicine. The growth of alternative techniques like reiki, being as natural as witch hazel, is just one way by which growing number of people are becoming more familiar with what's available to them in terms of healing options.

The fact of the matter is that people have a growing interest in quality of life that encompasses body, mind and spirit. Collectively, we are feeling empowered to demand more from our health care providers in terms of health and wellbeing.

Many of us are no longer interested in the way doctors manage only our symptoms. Many of us want to know the root of the problem. There is a growing demand for more consistent and superior health care. One that includes the best of modalities, from the most modern, sophisticated Western medical tools to the ancient art of energy healing, like Reiki and Kundalini Activation, which has been practiced in various ways for eons. We are starting to see a healthcare paradigm shift from the "one disease, one treatment" method to a more holistic and well-rounded approach to healing. We are gradually rediscovering the power in natural modalities that lend themselves to an ultimate goal, which is rooted in holistic wellness. Introducing techniques like Reiki into our healthcare system offers the most potential to take us into an exciting future in the world of health. At the same time, we can't ignore the great advancements that we've made in science and technology and to fully dismiss Western medicine altogether would be steps backwards. Instead, what is needed is a respect of each practice. The ancient and the modern, the scientific and the spiritual, the natural and the man-made, all must be honored equally. We should encourage a balanced blend of East and West as the face of modern healthcare.
