靈氣在國外醫療定義為輔助療法，透過靈氣，能有效的降低病患的疼痛指數、改善睡眠狀況、減輕焦慮及促進傷口癒合，是一個在歐美醫療系統裡廣為人知的療癒技術，也吸引許多醫護從業人員來學習。
感謝高田哈瓦優老師的靈氣傳承，讓靈氣通過了各大醫院嚴謹的研究與試驗，進而數據化，說服了實事求是的西方人，而活躍於各類醫療體系中，造福更多的人。
很棒的一篇靈氣實證文章，與您分享

Under the old medical model based on expensive medication and technology this posed an unsolvable dilemma. Not so with Reiki and other complementary modalities.
醫院和醫療保健正在發生重大變化。他們正在需要降低成本，同時改善患者的治療品質。在基於昂貴的藥物和技術的舊醫學模式下，這構成了無法解決的困境。而靈氣和其他輔助療法不是這樣。

Reiki is an energy healing modality. Reiki is the ancient art of “laying on of hands” in order to heal. It is the use of touch to convey warmth, serenity, love, caring and healing, through the channelling of energy to enhance a person’s own life force. When experiencing pain or hurt, people tend to put their hands on the injured part of the body as the first part of trying to subdue the pain, and heal it. Mothers tend to caress or want to kiss their children’s wounds or scrapes as part of the process of comforting and healing. The same with sick people, relatives tend to hold their hands or touch the sick person in order to convey and transmit a feeling of comfort and care
靈氣是一種能量治療方式。靈氣是為了療癒而“放置雙手”的古代藝術。透過引導能量來增強一個人的生命力，是用觸摸來傳達溫暖，寧靜，愛心，關愛和療癒能量。當遇到疼痛或受傷時，人們傾向於將手放在身體的受傷部位，作為試圖消除疼痛的第一部分，並治癒它。媽媽傾向於撫摸或想親吻孩子的傷口或擦傷作為安慰和治療過程的一部分。與病人同樣，親屬們傾向於握著手或觸摸病人，以傳達和傳遞舒適和關懷的感覺
Reiki was brought from Japan to the West in 1937 by Mrs Hawayo Takata. She continued to practice and teach Reiki until her passing in 1980. Mrs Hawayo Takata was extremely devoted to Reiki. If it wasn’t for her Reiki would only have practiced by small number of people in Japan and never moved out of Japan but due to her efforts Reiki has been passed on to millions of people all over the world especially in the West, and the numbers continue to grow
1937年高田哈瓦憂夫人將靈氣從日本帶到西方。她繼續練習和教導靈氣，直到1980年逝世。高田哈瓦憂夫人非常致力於靈氣。如果不是因為她的努力，靈氣將只能在日本的少數人身上施行，而無法傳遞到日本海外，給世界各地的數百萬人，特別是在西方，數字繼續增長
How Reiki Works: The hands are placed in various different Reiki positions, and gently rested on the body or lightly above there with no pressure. The Ki (Life energy force) that creates the healing, flows through the person’s chakras, down into the middle of the palms and through to the tips of the fingers. For the energy to be activated, both hands must be on the receiver’s body, or held just above it in the aura. One must also have the intent to heal. The Ki or energy does whatever else is needed as the energy has intelligence beyond our understanding and will go to where it is needed. The energy is not given from the receiver but from source. The outcome of each treatment is determined by the needs of the individual who is receiving the treatment. Below are some common occurrences, which appear in most treatments.
靈氣如何工作：手放在各種不同的靈氣位置，輕輕地放在身上或在身體上方，沒有壓力。創造癒合的Ki（生命能量力量）流過人的脈輪，向下進入手掌的中間，並通過手指的尖端。將活性化的能量，透過雙手放在接收者的身體上，或者保持在氣場上方。且需一個療癒的意念。智能能量會自行流動到身體所需要它的地方，能量不是來自於施作靈氣的人，而是來自於源頭。每次治療的結果由接受治療的個體的需要決定。以下是一些常見的事件，出現在大多數治療中。

Reiki is performed in many different locations, including healing centres, delivery rooms, hospitals, hospice settings, accident scenes, homes, and schools every day. Hospitals are incorporating it into their roster of patient services, often with their own Reiki-trained physicians, nurses and support staff. Reiki was in use in hospital operating rooms as early as the mid-90’s. Since then its acceptance in medicine has grown. It is now listed in a nursing “scope and standards of practice” publication as an accepted form of care and a 2008 USA Today article reported that in 2007 over 800 of U.S. hospitals offered Reiki as a regular part of patient services.
