Çocuklarda Reiki Uygulaması ve Etkileri

Reiki, evrensel yaşam enerjisi anlamına gelen Japonca bir terimdir. Reiki, vücudun kendini iyileştirme kapasitesini güçlendirmek için uygulanan alternatif ve tamamlayıcı enerji terapilerinden biridir. Noninvaziv, non-farmakolojik, ekonomik olması, kolay uygulanması ve herhangi bir yan etkisinin olmaması nedeniyle modern tıpta sağlığı desteklemek amacıyla kullanılan bir yöntemdir. Yapılan birçok çalışmada, Reikinin ağrı, anksiyete, depresyon, stres, yorgunluk gibi bulguları azalttığı belirtilmektedir. Literatür incelendiğinde yetişkinler üzerinde çok çalışma yapılmış olmasına rağmen, çocuklarda Reiki uygulamasının etkinliğini ortaya koyan araştırma sayısı sınırlıdır. Bu makalenin amacı; enerji terapilerinden biri olan Reikinin çocuklarda nasıl ve hangi durumlarda uygulandığını incelemek ve Reikinin etkisine ilişkin elde edilen sonuçları derleyerek paylaşmaktır.
