<description><![CDATA[The Reiki hand positions are designed to cover all the major organs of the body and, in the longer versions, the main joints too. A Reiki treatment - or a course of them - helps us "change the channel" in our bodies. Giving a full body treatment using all the hand positions supports the healthy parts of the entire system, while harmonising the unbalanced parts - the parts with all those peptides with their cell receptors causing the problem.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is fabulous for pain relief and pain control. After handing out chocolate and tapping down the desire for it, many EFT practitioners will ask for someone to help demonstrate pain relief with tapping. Generally the volunteer will complain of a headache or muscle ache - something acute (ie they just got it that day) rather than chronic - and the entire room will be astonished to watch as the Subjective Units of Discomfort Scale (SUDS) reduces to zero with a couple of rounds of EFT.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Reiki is not often connected with weight loss, but can be a positive addition to your weight control regime. In the modern world we are so pressurised by worries about the economy, our relationships, jobs and the news that we often eat sweet and fatty treats to soothe our feelings, help us relax and make us feel safe. As children, when we cried our parents often distracted us with sweets or biscuits to help us feel better and as adults we can often be searching for that same sense of security we felt as...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Reiki is an observable system measurable only in its effects and increasingly research into the effects of Reiki on pain control as well as anxiety, depression and wellbeing, are suggesting this can be a positive addition to pain relief strategies.   In 2006 the Nursing Times published a placebo controlled, randomised study by Vitale and O'Conner measuring the effects of Reiki with respect to pain relief in women with abdominal hysterectomies. Not only did they find that after surgery, those who had received Reiki used less in the way of analgesics in the first few days - generally...]]></description>
