Reiki can help patients with pain reduction and increased relaxation
靈氣可以幫助患者減輕疼痛並更加放鬆
Reiki is a Japanese healing art focusing on increasing the energy one has in life. “Reiki is a free service we offer to patients to promote healing, relaxation, sleep, and to reduce pain,” said Jill Howell, MA, ATR-BC, Medical Art Therapist with Pocono Medical Center. This service really focuses on meeting the patient’s needs and is truly all about enhancing quality of life.”
靈氣是日本的癒合藝術，專注於增加生命中的能量。 Pocono醫療中心的醫學治療師Jill Howell說：“靈氣是我們為患者提供的免費服務，以促進癒合，放鬆，睡眠和減輕疼痛。這項服務真正重點是滿足患者的需求，並提高生活質量。“
More than 1.2 million adults reported that they had used an energy healing therapy such as Reiki, according to the 2007 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Reiki sessions are given either while the patient is sitting or lying down and seek to target all important areas.
根據2007年疾病控制和預防中心的研究，超過120萬成年人報告說他們已經使用了靈氣等能量療法。無論病人坐著或躺下，靈氣會尋找需治療的重要部位，。
The sessions usually last between 10 to 30 minutes and involve the certified Reiki Practitioners laying hands on or slightly above the patient. The patient may feel warm, comfortable, or at peace. A tingling sensation, coolness (if there is a fever), calmness, and sleep may follow. The patient is always told that there is no right or wrong feeling since each one is unique to that individual.
療程通常持續10至30分鐘，經過認證的靈氣執行師把手放在患者身上或略高於患者。患者可能會感到溫暖、舒適、或平靜。刺痛的感覺，冷靜（如果有發燒），平靜、接著可能會睡著。患者總是被告知，沒有正確或錯誤的感覺，因為每個人都是獨一無二的。
The team of certified Reiki Practitioners provide sessions in the hospital and at the Dale and Frances Hughes Cancer Center. Patients can receive Reiki through two avenues either by being referred by a physician, nurse, or nurse technician, or one of the Reiki team members may visit a patient floor and advise the staff they are offering a session. All sessions are documented in the patient’s chart and shared with the Complementary and Alternative Medicine Department.
經認證的靈氣團隊在Dale and Frances Hughes癌症中心醫院舉行靈氣療程。患者可以透過由醫師，護士或護理技術員介紹來接受靈氣，或者其中一位靈氣團隊中成員會造訪患者的樓層，並建議工作人員來提供靈氣的療程。所有療程會記錄在患者圖表中，並與輔助和替代療法部門共享。
Some of the documented results have included pain levels significantly lowered from an 8 to a 2 on a pain scale of 1-10, blood sugar levels lowered from 334 to 254 in twenty minutes, and even a persisting headache lasting for one week was gone in twenty minutes.
一些記錄的結果包括從1到8的疼痛指數從8降低到2，血糖在二十分鐘內從334降低到254，甚至持續一周的頭痛在20分鐘內消失。
