Introduction

Are you taking Reiki into hospitals, GP surgeries, prisons, cancer support groups, HIV / AIDS centres, hospices etc? If so, we would like to hear from you with a view to mapping current initiatives in the UK. We can offer you the chance to network with other pioneers, form local / national support groups, share expertise and brain-storm for new projects. How can we make it easier to introduce Reiki into similar places in the future? How can others benefit from our experiences, the mistakes and the successes? Can we combine research with our projects?

Our experience and contacts within the public sector will provide a unique input to other focus groups, so that standards are developed with regard to the needs of working in these areas.

The UK Reiki Federation has a history of encouraging the pioneering use of Reiki. Many of our members have a great deal of experience in ‘breaking new ground’ – hence the term “Reiki Pioneers”. Diligently pushing back the barriers in raising awareness of the many and varied ways in which Reiki can be used to harmonise and balance all aspects of life thus promoting self healing, many of our members work in mainstream medicine and education, as well as in complementary care.

 

 

Innovative settings...

A recent questionnaire (which sought to determine the number of Practitioners in each of the RRWG organisations who work with the public) established that the majority of UKRF respondents operate from home and/or in a wide variety of traditional care settings, as well as innovative settings – on a paid as well as voluntary basis. Of particular note are reports regarding Reiki practice in:

NHS Hospitals including Maternity Units, Cancer Wards/Clinics/Centres/Support Groups Bristol Cancer Help Centre Hospices Carers Associations NHS Occupational Health Depts Physiotherapy Units NHS Medical Centres NHS Mental Health Units/Psychotherapy Clinics Special Needs – learning & behavioural difficulties and mental health Medical & Paramedical (many of our members are also doctors, nurses, physios, chiropodists etc, officially practising or promoting Reiki in the statutory sector) Social Services Day Care Centres Drug & Alcohol Abuse/Addiction Programmes + Substance Abusers & Families Support Networks GP & Dental Practices Residential Care & Nursing Homes Local Council Health & Harmony Events treating post natal mothers, Asian Elders, and others
