Question
Reiki brings peace and calm to an advanced senior's or elder's world, sometimes filled with pain, disability, foggy memory, never-ending doctor appointments, and other problems that make even the smallest activity of daily living seem like a monumental challenge. These challenges have a profoundly disruptive effect on the flow of the older adult's life force energy and, left unaddressed, can even exacerbate illness and dysfunction. Reiki helps to reestablish proper energy flow to improve health and well-being of older adults. Would you encourage your parent or grandparent to try Reiki as an alternative treatment if they were suffering from pain? Why or why not?Explanation / Answer
No, I don't encourage my parent (or) grand parent to 'Reiki' as an altrnative treatment, if they were suffering from pain because 'Reiki' is regarded as a 'pseudoscience'. Clinical research has not shown 'Reiki' to be effective as a medical treatment. Many medical councils & research institutes state that 'Reiki' should not be a replacement for conventional treatmemt. There is no central authority which controls the activities of 'Reiki'. The 'Reiki master' certificates can be purchased for under 100 dollars only. There is no regulation of practitioners. The course of 'Reiki master' is completed in two weekends. 'Reiki' does'nt use a science based medicine & it lacks scientific credibility. So, with these circumstances we can conclude that 'Reiki' is just a superstitionary method.
