Reiki in Clinical Practice: A Science-Based Guide, by Ann Baldwin
What’s your book about?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction that promotes healing. This book is a scientifically based, well-referenced text which explains and introduces Reiki to healthcare professionals. Its aim is to provide clinical therapists and practitioners with the evidence and information they need to encourage them to make Reiki more accessible to their patients and clients.
Why did you write this book?
Reiki is mainly offered on a private basis and is not often available in clinical settings, even though it is clearly effective at relieving emotional stress. It is now time for Reiki to be routinely offered in hospitals, prescribed by physicians and reimbursed by medical insurance. For this to happen, we need to prove that it works. Currently none of the published books on Reiki are written to appeal to people with a scientific background and they do not include scientific evidence supporting or refuting the use of Reiki for various clinical conditions. This book fills that gap.
What was your mission with the book?
My mission was to show healthcare professionals how Reiki can be combined with conventional medicine to significantly improve clients’ and patients’ experiences and outcomes, and so make Reiki more accessible.
