Quantum Physics & Reiki 
The field of quantum physics suggests that Reiki may be much more scientific than anyone knows right now.  There are quantum physicists who are on the same page as Reiki when it comes to new theories about energy and matter.  We need to continue exploring quantum physics regarding how the divine can be viewed as an essential part of the mind-body-spirit connection. It is possible that Reiki therapy may be one of many avenues to travel in this regard.
French physicist Bernard d'Espagnat was awarded the 2009 Templeton Prize, a coveted religion award honoring someone who has made exceptional contributions to affirming life's spiritual dimension through insight, discovery or practical works. D'Espagnat has theorized that quantum physics could provide insights into alternate spiritual realities and has been quoted as saying that recent discoveries may be "signs providing us with some perhaps not entirely misleading glimpses of a higher reality and, therefore, that higher forms of spirituality are fully compatible with what seems to emerge from contemporary physics."
For many thousands of years healing through “laying on of hands” have been practiced by different cultures around the world. Even today, when we hurt or feel pain in some part of our bodies, the conditioned response is to touch or hold the location in an attempt to alleviate the pain. For many years we have researched the science behind it, and we found answers not in religion or spirituality, but in Quantum Physics. The so-called “healing energy” actually exists and has been measured in laboratories.
Serious laboratory studies around the world have concluded that each and every living creature posses a measurable electro-magnetic energy field around their bodies. It was also discovered that changes in the electric charges of the cells contributed to ALL processes happening in the physical body.
Each cell is dependent on light (biophotons) to function properly, and an imbalance in the electrical cellular activity (incoherent exchange) can cause havoc and consequently imbalances on the individual’s mental, emotional and physical fields.
Researchers have concluded that a “hands-on” healing practitioner is able to transfer some amount of subatomic electro-magnetic energy (photon transmission) to the person being treated, and this energy is absorbed by the receptor and restores cellular frequencies, bringing coherence in the exchange of light between the cells.

DID YOU KNOW..............Reiki Helped Win Olympic Silver Medal. Hayden Roulston, a New Zealand cyclist won a silver medal in the Olympic men’s Track Cycling 4000m individual pursuit event.  Hayden had a serious heart condition in 2006 which he completely recovered from and in a pre-win interview he states that it was Reiki that helped.

As a result of the ruling by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, at least two Catholic medical centers in South Jersey -- Lourdes Wellness Center in Collingswood and the Lourdes Cancer Center in Westampton -- will stop offering Reiki to patients,
The centers are part of the Lourdes Health System, sponsored by the Franciscan Sisters of Alleghany, N.Y.

The US National Institute of Health has recently acknowledged and categorized Reiki as a "Biofield Medicine", although Reiki could be more accurately described as a path to spiritual enlightenment as well as a system of energy field healing.

MYFOXNY.COM  --  A hospital in New Jersey is using an unusual treatment to help fight pain. It doesn't involve painkiller medication or needles. Instead the Japanese technique involves using hands -- and it's not massage.

There is a Reiki program as well as other alternative medicine programs currently at Morristown Memorial Hospital

Energy Medicine
Reiki - means “universal life force energy.” Reiki is a popular Japanese energy healing technique that utilizes laying-on of hands to direct energy through the practitioner to the client to heal physical, mental, emotional and spiritual conditions. Reiki is used to reduce stress and create a sense of deep relaxation. Practitioners use it to clear energy blockages in the body and facilitate the body's natural healing processes. Reiki is used to support healing in a wide variety of acute and chronic physical conditions including asthma, allergies, arthritis, chronic pain, headaches, digestive disorders and insomnia. It is sometimes used to facilitate the healing of wounds, broken bones, and burns. Reiki also eases mental distress and promotes emotional healing.

Military and VA Using Reiki to Heal Returning Veterans
 
By Ilona Meagher

The Department of Veterans Affairs uses reiki in their Hepatitis C treatment program. Fort Bliss' Warrior Resilience program -- the same one Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey believes should be replicated throughout the military -- uses it as one tool to help soldiers strengthen and recover following combat.
Military OneSource's Health Library says it can increase wellness and "treat diseases of all types."
And it's the reason given by New Zealand's champ cyclist Hayden Roulston for bouncing back from a serious heart condition to claim both Olympic silver and bronze medals this past week in Beijing.
What is Reiki [pronounced "Ray-Key"] ? Energy healing...
While I've heard of it in the past (in fact, I have a sister who is a Reiki Master and had used the touch therapy in her past massage therapy practice), it seems to be bubbling up to the mainstream surface more and more these days. That the military and VA are incorporating it, is another positive sign that mountains can be moved even in mammoth bureaucracies -- as long as you believe it can be so (and add a little action into the mix to help it along).
In light of the military and VA's embrace of Reiki and other energy treatments like Qigong and distance healing, I asked an email correspondent if she would educate me a bit on this sometimes hard-to-understand (or even believe) form of complementary therapy making its way into the military ranks.
