During my internet wanderings in search of material for the back pain data blog I come across all manner of weird and wonderful things. I'm not quite sure how I would classify this item, but I thought it worthy of inclusion.
I found an article by Pamela Miles on the reikiinmedicine.org website, in which she tells how she was able to relieve her sisters chronic back pain, which she had suffered from for twelve years, after only a month of practising daily Reiki self-treatment.
Reiki is a technique developed by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui in 1922. It is a stress reduction and relaxation method that also promotes healing. It is apparently easily and quickly learnt and is very suitable for self administration.
So far so good. It gets a little strange when we are told that you can also use it on inanimate objects such as food and drink, even your car and computer!
Well I like to think I am open minded. I'm certainly a great believer in the power of the human mind and Pamela's story makes an interesting read, you can find it here.
You may also find this video worth a watch if you want to know more (I'm afraid you'll have to sit through a short ad first). It's by Reiki master teacher Stephanie Kraft, who explains how it works. There's actually a series of videos if you get into it.
If any back pain data blog reader has experience of Reiki that they would like to pass on I'd be delighted to hear from them at: thebackman@live.com
