The House of Lords Select Committee on Science and Technology report on the use of Complementary and Alternative Therapies (CAM) stated the following in relation to therapies within Group 2 - which includes Reiki & Spiritual Healing;

"We are satisfied that many therapies listed in our Group 2 give help and comfort to many patients when used in a complementary sense to support conventional medical care"

"In relieving stress, in alleviating side effects (for example of various forms of anti-cancer therapy) and in giving succour to the elderly and in palliative care they often fulfil an important role".

The SBSHT healing therapists, who work within the NHS and other health areas, are proud to be part of a multi-disciplinary team of professionals to provide vital support cancer patients, their relatives and staff.

Reiki is a Group 2 complementary therapy as stated in the House of Lords published report of 2000.  It  is increasingly used in healthcare alongside conventional treatments.

Reiki is a gentle form of therapy that originates from Japan. Pronounced ray-key, Reiki means 'universal life energy'  in Japanese. 

The Reiki Therapist uses simple hands-on or non-touch techniques to channel healing to the patient. This allows their energy field to rebalance, which in turn may ease symptoms physically, mentally and emotionally.

Spiritual Healing is a Group 2 complementary therapy as stated in the House of Lords published report of 2000. It is increasingly used in healthcare alongside conventional treatments.

Spiritual Healing is a natural, non-invasive, holistic approach that has the intention of promoting self-healing, to bring a sense of well-being and peace to the client. 

When we become unwell physically, emotionally or mentally this has an unbalancing effect on our energy field.

A healer channels energy through his or her hands (either laying hands on the body or held off the body) which allows the energy field to rebalance. This in turn may ease symptoms physically, mentally and emotionally.

As many of the centres we have worked with have employed more than one healer in different areas within cancer, this totals over 40  healers within hospitals or Hospices that have been funded since 2006 by our charity.
