FACTS AND TRENDS
According to the American Institute of Stress, 83% of Americans feel stressed. Stress is shown to be a key contributor to disease formation.
Medical research estimates as much as 90 percent of illness and disease is stress-related, according to National Ag Safety Database, and most health professionals agree stress can be a contributing factor in making existing medical problems worse.
The CDC estimates that 60% of adults in the United States currently suffer from chronic diseases, which are among the leading causes of death in the United States. Practicing preventative wellness and stress reduction behaviors can greatly reduce one’s risk of developing disease.
Frustrated with traditional medicine and increasingly interested in natural approaches, more and more Americans have turned to alternative or complementary medicine and ancient wellness and healing options in recent years.
The U.S. Complementary & Alternative Medicine Industry is expected to expand four-fold by 2028, according to grandviewresearch.com, and methods such as Reiki Energy which applies non-invasive healing energy, and Sensory Healing, like sound and vibrational therapies, are seeing explosive growth as preventative care and stress reprieve solutions.
WHAT IS “ENERGY WELLNESS”

a combination of high vibrational, high frequency, specialized forms of multi-sensory energy modalities, therapies, practices and tools utilized to
positively affect the energetic vibration of one’s mind, emotions, physical and cellular body, energetic biofield (or “ethereal body”) and over all life force (or spirit of life) to mimic, match or resonate with the high vibrational frequencies of the techniques used,
allowing realignment with the balanced state our beings were perfectly engineered, intended and inherently so very well-designed for – homeostasis, natural healing, optimal functioning and vitality.

REIKI
Reiki was first developed in Japan by Mikao Usui in the early 1900s, who then brought it to Hawaii.
Usui named the healing modality “Reiki” based on the Japanese words rei, meaning universal, and ki, which translates to the vital life force energy that flows through all living things.
Practitioners act as a conduit of this “universal life force energy” by using their hands with gentle touch or hovering slightly over specific points on the the body, to deliver energy to the recipient.
Reiki supports healing and wellness by promoting improvement of energy flow and balance on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.
Reiki has been proven to promote relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, ease pain, improve mood, sleep and quality of life and foster self-healing, among other benefits.
The most documented reiki benefits are based on a relaxation response that invokes the body’s natural healing process.
According to a Forbes Heath interview with Natalie Dryer, Ph.D, President of the Center for Reiki Research:
-There are approximately 60+ published studies that show reiki’s benefits
-15%+ of US hospitals, and rapidly growing, offer Reiki to complement other forms of health treatments.
Reiki is non-invasive with no reported side effects.
