靈氣治療在國外醫院占有一席之地，從最初緩解精神緊張焦慮，到現在真正落實的將靈氣運用在第一線真正需要的患者身上，如手術後的患者、精神科患者、緩解癌症病患的病痛等等，將靈氣治療用於需要的病患身上，讓真正受苦的患者們可以免於病痛的折磨，並運用實驗數據來說明結果，真的是理性又不失科學啊!!
相信屬於台灣的靈氣醫學世紀很快就會到來~
共同祝禱
Reiki Provides Improvement in Common Cancer-Related Symptoms
靈氣改善一般常見的癌症相關症狀 (2014.8.1) 取自 massagemag
To complement the Research Reports in the August 2014 issue of MASSAGE Magazine. Summary: Reiki practitioners provided services to adults being treated at a cancer center, as well as adults being treated in other areas of the same university hospital. Both groups reported an improvement in their symptoms after receiving reiki, with the cancer-center participants specifically citing improvements in common cancer-related symptoms including pain, mood disturbances, and feelings of isolation and loneliness.
此研究報告補充於2014年8月出刊的按摩雜誌中。摘要如下:靈氣治療師為一間癌症中心正在接受治療的患者提供靈氣服務，而這些患者也在同一間大學醫院的其他領域裡接受治療。兩邊的病患在接受靈氣治療後表示他們的症狀好轉許多，這些癌症中心的治療師特意引述靈氣改善了癌症常見的許多症狀，包括疼痛、情緒不穩，和感覺自己被隔離及有孤獨感。
Individuals at a cancer infusion center reported improvement in cancer-related symptoms after receiving reiki treatments.
個人癌症輸液中心報告中表示:在接受靈氣治療後有益改善癌症常見的相關症狀。
The study, “Symptomatic Improvement Reported After Receiving Reiki at a Cancer Infusion Center,” involved the administration of volunteer reiki services on adults in a university hospital to evaluate reiki’s benefits.
這份報告名為"接受靈氣治療後，癌症相關症狀獲得改善，"參與管理大學醫院的靈氣志願者自願接受靈氣服務，並評估靈氣所帶來的益處。
The Study
For six months, reiki practitioners served as volunteers at a university hospital. During that period of time, 20 volunteer reiki practitioners provided recipients with a total of 683 hours of reiki services. Recipients were given voluntary satisfaction surveys in which the perceived symptomatic changes from reiki treatment were rated. “Changes in pain, mood, distress, sleep and appetite were rated on a 5-point scale from no benefit to great benefit,” stated the study’s authors.
The surveys were numbered in order to establish the response rate. Of the 420 surveys distributed, 145 were completed and returned. Returned surveys were attributed to 47 participants from the cancer infusion center and 98 participants from other areas of the hospital. Results were similar for both participants who had not had any previous experience with touch therapy and those who had been exposed in the past to touch therapy, such as massage and reiki.
研究
這六個月以來，靈氣治療師為這些在大學醫院的患者們提供靈氣服務。而這段期間，有20個靈氣治療師提供共683小時給接受靈氣服務的患者。這些接受者們將會根據接受靈氣治療後，症狀改善的程度給予滿意度調查。"我們從有一個0-5級的評分表，分別針對疼痛、情緒、壓力、睡眠和食慾來給分，0級是無益、5級是最有益。"此研究報告的作者表示。
這些調查的反應結果將會被數據化。在這420份調查裡，有145份完成且回收。這些回收的調查結果歸因於癌症輸液中心的47位治療師及98個其他地區醫院的靈氣治療師。這些參與者先前並沒有接受過任何觸療法及已知的接觸治療，如按摩和靈氣。
Results
A total of 93.6 percent of participants from the cancer center rated their overall reiki experience as positive, while 92.9 percent of participants from other areas of the hospital produced a positive experience rating. A total of 91.5 percent of the cancer center participants indicated they would be interested in receiving reiki services in the future, with 85.7 percent of participants from other areas of the hospital stating the same opinion. In regard to the rating of symptomatic improvement, similarities were also seen between cancer center participants and participants from other areas of the hospital.
成果
總共有93.8%參與癌症輸液中心的參與者對於靈氣治療經驗表示正面，而當中有92.9%其他地區醫院的患者參與者對於這次靈氣經驗的回饋是正向積極的。有91.5%的癌症輸液中心參與者表示，接受靈氣治療的正向經驗已經引起他們在未來接受靈氣服務的興趣。85.7%其他地區醫院的參與者保持一樣的看法。從癌症輸液中心及其他地區醫院的參與者來說，兩邊對於症狀改善度的評價是非常相似的。
The surveys’ data illustrated “a broad range of symptomatic benefits with reiki, including improvements in common cancer-related symptoms such as pain, mood disturbances, and isolation/loneliness,” the authors stated. Interpretation of data was limited by the fact that the surveys were anonymous and voluntary. “Surveys were completed and returned by a minority of individuals, who may have been those who experienced a more extreme response,” the authors noted.
這份調查結果被數據化，"靈氣改善症狀的範圍是非常寬廣的，包括疼痛、情緒抑鬱、失眠及孤獨感等這些常見的癌症相關症狀"，作者表示。這些數據的解讀根據事實，自願者採匿名方式來調查。"這些調查已經完成報告，有少數人經歷了極度身體反應"，作者指出。
Researchers concluded, “Therapies to reduce emotional distress and isolation may be particularly important, as these symptoms have been linked with cancer progression.”
研究人員得出結論，"靈氣治療減輕了情緒的悲傷與憂鬱，且降低了隔離感，這點非常重要，因為這些症狀會和癌症的發展一樣越來越明顯。"
