Does one have to stop seeing a regular doctor or psychologist in order to receive a Reiki treatment?
No. Reiki works in conjunction with regular medical or psychological treatment. If one has a medical or psychological condition, it is recommended that one see a licensed health care professional in addition to receiving Reiki treatments. Reiki energy works in harmony with all other forms of healing, including drugs, surgery, psychological care or any other method of alternative care and will enhance the results. Energy-based healing is one of the most common medical concepts in the world today. Many hospitals throughout the nation are beginning to incorporate Reiki into their Complimentary Treatment Programs. When used in conjunction with traditional medical or psychological treatments, Reiki shortens healing time, reduces or eliminates pain and helps to improve a person’s general sense of well being. Reiki will also help to reduce the negative side effects of traditional medicine, i.e. Chemotherapy, Surgery, etc.
