Reiki Brigade

Reiki Brigade We promote peace within individuals, communities, and society as a whole via Reiki energy healing. It is a household word, much like yoga or meditation.

We support non-violence efforts by collaborating with other service organizations, and serving groups of individuals who experience high levels of stress. VISION
Reiki is a valued, mainstream healthcare practice available at all levels of society. MISSION
The mission of the Reiki Brigade is to raise awareness of the benefits of reiki energy healing, elevate its image as a wellness practice, and mainstream its availability. This will be accomplished by:

• Offering community service (demonstrations within underserved populations and established social institutions),
• Giving polished, multi-media presentations at conferences, organizations and special events,
• Participating in health fairs and wellness events,
• Publishing articles,
• Teaching classes,
• Participating in research activities,
• Supporting the professional development of Reiki practitioners through education, volunteerism, and employment opportunities,
• Fostering practitioner networks and collaboration, and
• Promoting all of the above by leveraging social media

Target populations for reiki programs include, but are not limited to:

• Veterans via the VA system and ancillary service organizations
• First responders (law enforcement, fire departments, and EMTs)
• Medical schools (students, faculty, and staff)
• Correctional institutions (residents, administration, and staff)

We will know we have accomplished our mission when:

• Reiki is fully integrated into established physical, mental, and rehabilitative care facilities where it is offered and taught by respected and well-paid professional practitioners as part of prescribed treatment protocols.
• Practicing and teaching reiki is a viable career choice for anyone interested in pursuing it.
• Reiki is practiced by the general public on a regular basis as a means of self-care for enhanced wellbeing on all levels.

You'll love this podcast about how our friend Natalie Dyer, a Harvard-trained neuroscientist, helped a Mayo Clinic researcher get rid of debilitating migraines he'd had for decades with a 45-minute DISTANT Reiki session. The scientific world is starting to catch on to the wonderful benefits of Reiki.

We gave 67 Reiki sessions at Chicago’s OEMC (9-1-1 Call Center) in the second quarter of 2026. These first responders will be your lifeline should you ever need to call for help in an emergency. Their ability to remain calm, clear-headed, and empathetic is imperative to provide you with the best possible support when you need it most.

Thank you to everyone who answers the incredibly difficult calls 40 hours (or more!) a week to help keep us safe. 💚

Thank you to the Gwen and Amber for supporting this incredible work, for inviting us, and for helping us to support as many dispatchers as possible.

Thank you to the Reiki Brigade team for coming out for daytime shifts and especially for the 8-11pm shift. Mary, Meredith, Regina, Mary Lynn, Vicky, Nicky, Anne and Monique—you’re the best!

"Reiki and massage are safe, feasible, and promising interventions for managing CRF [cancer-related fatigue] in patients receiving hormone therapy. Reiki showed the largest improvements, supporting its clinical relevance. Larger trials are needed to confirm these findings and inform CRF management guidelines."

Conclusion: Reiki sessions were associated with consistent improvements in patient-reported pain and well-being across a heterogeneous oncology population. These findings support the feasibility of integrating Reiki into routine supportive cancer care and underscore the need for prospective controlled studies to define its effectiveness.
