Research, Information and Resources.
Reiki and Hypnotherapy are safe, holistic healing arts. They can help you to achieve individual goals and they
can be used in tandem with other medical services to provide support for things such as pain management, as well as,
pre- and post- surgery symptoms. Reiki and Hypnotherapy do not take the place of medical care but they are being provided
as a complementary service(s) in a growing number of hospitals and other medical facilities. At Healing Arts we teach our
clients self-hypnosis so they are empowered to help themselves.
We want our clients to make informed decisions about the services we provide. Don’t take our word for it but do look at
some of the research, data and other information that’s available.
A Stanford study shows how hypnosis can help kids undergoing a
difficult procedure. Stanford also teaches their patients self-hypnosis to help control pain and physical symptoms, smoking control, procedural anxiety management,
medical treatment side effects such as nausea and vomiting, stress management, phobias and stress-related neurological problems.
Can a hypnotist or hypnotherapist make you quack like a duck? The answer is only if you want to. The Harvard Gazette reports that wounds
heal faster with hypnosis but it is a myth that people can be made to do things against their will. You will not do something during the
hypnotic state that you would not be inclined to do otherwise. You are always in control.
Time Magazine did a cover story on The Right (And Wrong) Way to Treat Pain. Learn why hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis were cited as
two alternative ways to help control chronic pain.
U.S. News Education
reports that patients’ increased desire for alternative therapies is driving changes in medical education. This
includes researching the effectiveness of Reiki on surgical recovery.
How effective is Reiki? The Center for Reiki Research including Reiki in Hospitals provides research,
articles, and information regarding the healing art of Reiki.
