Reiki and Teens

I was just reading an article on Reiki and teens and how some schools are actually bringing Reiki to the students. The teen years are such turbulent times with so many emotional issues that arise it just makes it hard to be a teen. The article states how Reiki is great for teens as they don't have to talk. They can just relax into the experience. It also works well with ADD and ADHD students because it can calm and balance. Reiki can also help with depression. The article states that one school in Maine offered Reiki to students after they had lost 8 students to accidents and suicide in six months! The school reported that Reiki helped the students cope with the losses. Maybe we should have a Reiki practitioner on staff in the schools! Or a class to teach teens how to give Reiki to each other. I would love to be a part of such a program. Those of you who are teachers out there, let your administration know about the benefits of Reiki and how it might help your students. What a blessing this would be to our children and our world!
May your day be filled with all good things,
