The CAET Reiki Volunteer
staff provides this complimentary service to
the UAMC inpatient population,
their supportive people and UAMC staff.
Currently, the Reiki volunteers work on a
variety of units throughout the hospital,
including Adult Oncology/Blood Marrow
Transplant, Adult and Pediatric ICU and
Cardiac Transplant. Reiki services will be
available to other units as the programs
grow. We are intentionally growing the
program slowly and mindfully to ensure the
excellence that UAMC lives on a daily basis.
Medical staff always has top
priority where patients are concerned. The health of the patient is
our first concern so our well-trained Reiki
Volunteers never enter the hospital setting
if a fever, cold or other signs of being
contagious are present.
Although physician permission is not
required, many of the doctors support our
Reiki work.
Our
program protocol requires that Volunteers
provide what is referred to as clinical
Reiki sessions. This does not in any way
infer that the CAET Reiki volunteers who
perform this type of Reiki are providing a
clinical service. The term refers to Reiki
sessions that are provided in clinical
arenas such as hospitals, clinics, and other
medical facilities. It is used to describe
the technical pathway of the session,
specific hand positions, required body
mechanics for practitioners and guidelines
which support cooperation between the
holistic and allopathic communities. The
term clinical clearly differentiates this
form from other widely known types of Reiki
that may include but not limited to, energy
techniques, sound healing, specific
balancing movements and other new age
methods etc. Clinical Reiki is pure,
regulated and therefore the appropriate
choice for Reiki received in the hospital
setting.
Session request forms are available on all
units where Reiki is presently being
offered. Reiki information Q & A sheets
are also posted on each unit. Staff
distributes the information sheets to
patients and are asked to add names to the
request form list,
when volunteers are
unavailable.
Additionally patients may
ask staff or volunteers to place their name
on the Reiki Request form.
Requests
may be also be made by submitting an
online Reiki session
request form, writing an e-mail
to
info@HospitalReiki.com,
calling the Center's 24 hour line, or by
contacting UAMC Volunteer Services.
After-care is available at
the Center for Advanced Energy Therapeutics.
The Center offers one complimentary
30-minute Reiki session to UAMC patients who
have received Reiki during their vist at
UAMC. Sessions must be received within 30
days of discharge from UAMC hospital.
Documentation of discharge may required
prior to receiving this session. Regular
fees shall apply thereafter.
The Center for Advanced
Energy Therapeutics is very proud of the
Reiki Basics Special Circumstances classes offered, by donation, to parents of
children who suffer from life
threatening illness. No one is turned away
due to inability to make a donation. All
profits are donated to the
MelonHead Foundation
which supports children with cancer
and their families.
