Hands-On Reiki Helps Kids

Here's a wonderful article on Reiki (hands-on) healing with kids by Pamela Miles, author of "Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide."

An excerpt:

"Lucky teens in Camden, Maine, have found Reiki at...Camden Hills Regional High School. According to Judy Ottman, M.Ed., the school lost eight students to a rash of accidents, drowning and suicides within a six month period in 2001. As part of the communities desire to support the teens through these tragedies, a Wellness Room was created to offer Reiki to students and staff. Students can come on their own, or at the suggestion of a teacher or the school nurse. In the 2003-2004 school year, there were 370 student visits.

Students lobbied to be trained themselves, and three Reiki Masters collaborated to train twenty-four students in First Degree. A year later, eight of the student practitioners requested and received Second Degree training. More than half the student body has received treatment, and the entire basketball team came in before an important game."
