>RecognitionThe benefits of reiki are starting to be recognized by communities around the world. Public, private and veterinary hospitals, universities, schools of nursing, health insurances, foundations and charities promoting health or supporting the sick, are thus starting to take an interest in reiki treatment. Depending on their calling, they offer information, treatment, contributions to scientific research, initiation and reimbursement of treatment fees.
