Oncology Reiki Practitioner Training Manual
This training manual is designed for those who work with oncology patients, focusing on specialized Reiki techniques for individuals undergoing cancer treatment. It covers essential practices, including what to avoid when working with this vulnerable population. With statistics indicating that 1 in 3 people will develop some form of cancer in their lifetime, there is a growing demand for skilled Reiki practitioners who can support patients in managing symptoms and alleviating treatment side effects. Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that promotes relaxation and healing without any contraindications. Recognizing its benefits, many hospitals and hospices across the United States have integrated Reiki into their care programs. The American Cancer Society considers Reiki a safe complementary therapy for cancer patients. Thank you for your attention.
