Reiki is a wonderful healing modality to support patients in their fight against a serious disease such as cancers like mesothelioma. Through a Reiki practitioner, the divine energy surrounding us is channeled directly to the patient during a Reiki session. The patient’s body and spirit then decides if and how to incorporate the Reiki energy. A Reiki session can be a deeply healing complementary therapy for cancer patients. The healing energy of Reiki can nourish a cancer patient on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels of his or her being during a very difficult time.
The energy of Reiki is often harnessed during a Reiki session to promote overall physical healing and wellbeing. As a Reiki practitioner connects with the healing power of Reiki, he or she offers this energy to the patient through the laying on of hands. The areas where a patient’s body needs the most nourishment will absorb the energy the most profoundly. The Reiki practitioner will become aware of the areas that need the most nourishment when his or her palms become hot as they focus on a particular area of a cancer patient’s body. This is the area or areas that need the most healing and nourishment. The patient’s own body will determine how much energy to absorb from the practitioner.
The nourishing energy of Reiki is also very healing to a cancer patient on an emotional level. As a Reiki practitioner surrounds a patient with divinely healing energy, he or she will feel less anxious and more able to relax. This will ease the tension, stress and anxiety of coping with a disease such as cancer and the reality of a poor mesothelioma prognosis. As a patient begins to relax, the body’s immune system will be boosted, which will help in the fight against cancer. Regular Reiki sessions may also provide a haven for a cancer patient. A weekly Reiki session will give a cancer patient a time to rejuvenate and rest from more aggressive medical procedures as well as being able to enjoy the serenity of a beautiful treatment room.
Reiki can also support a cancer patient on a spiritual level. By connecting to God’s energy, the patient will feel deeply nourished and supported. Not quite as alone as he or she may have felt prior to a Reiki session. This sense of connection will help the patient’s soul to relax and feel held during one of the most difficult times in the patient’s life. With this nourishment and ease of body, mind and spirit, a cancer patient will feel more able to fight such a serious disease as cancer. Regular Reiki sessions during this time period may become a significant oasis during his or her battle to regain health and well-being.
I will be starting chemo thearpy tomorrow for cancer of the liver, I am a breast cancer survivor and I am fighting bone cancer as well. Surviving breast cancer has given me the gift of strength and courage and I will take this with me tomorrow as I start a new journey to continue the fight..I am also interested in learning about Reiki to help me continue with the fight emotionally, physically and also spiritually.

Hi, my grandmother is suffering from cancer and it has just spread across her stomach, I want to use reiki on her everyday for now and I want to know if it will be bad for her body if it’s done on daily basis. I appreciate your answer thank you.
I’ve searched several Reiki sites and contacted practitioners, and all have assured me that Reiki is completely safe and gentle enough for daily use. From my personal perspective, trust your intuitive sense and allow the Reiki energy to guide you. We will be sending healing energy to your grandmother and you to assist in any way it can. Blessings and much love.
Thank you… and do you think it will work for her, my grandmother?
I think that if she believes it will help her, then it will.
