Reiki Enters The Mainstream

Cover of Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide

Reiki is a spiritual healing practice. It is performed on a fully clothed person and has no harmful effects.

Thanks to Mehmet Oz, the cardiologist made famous by Oprah, Reiki is about to be introduced to a mainstream audience. Oz, whose wife is a Reiki practitioner, will be interviewing Pamela Miles in his show in January 2010. Miles is an author and has been a Reiki practitioner since 1986.

Pamela Miles describes Reiki as “applied mediation.” She has worked on patients during heart surgery and has helped patients suffering from HIV.
