Beirut Time Out's Article with Reiki Master
Farida Khizam
Reiki in Beirut http://www.timeoutbeirut.com/search.php?query=reiki
Health & Beauty Imagine the most cynical guy you can think of – an antipathetic, anti-spiritual, anti-anything kind of guy. Much to the shock of his closest pals, one day Mr. Cynical announces his forthcoming marriage to a reiki master. That's what happened to my friend. And ever since Mr. C decided to forgo junk food and sardonic wit for crystals and chakras, reiki has been one energy-healing treatment I've silently been keen to try out.
Before giving it a go, I naturally decided to do my homework. The net offered no sound conclusions, apart from reaffirming that reiki is the alternative therapy du jour. A quick google of the words 'celebrity' and 'reiki' show that Nicole Kidman and Angelina Jolie are both fans. I also find a website that offers reiki for traumatised horses and learn that the US Conference of Catholic Bishops tried to ban the treatment not so long ago – although in the States the treatment is officially a form of biofield medicine. None of this supplies the answers to my questions though: is reiki a true healing process for mind, body and soul? Or is it simply the pleasure of lying down for an hour with nothing to do?
'Beirut's Reiki Master' aka Farida Khizam is keen to explain. Khizam began her career as a pharmacist and strongly believes in the health benefits of reiki. She first encountered the 'universal life energy' after being recommended to a local reiki master while treating chronic asthmatics in a small Irish mining town. 'I called her up and she told me 'I put my hands on people, they fall asleep and then they wake up and feel better.' I thought, how am I going to explain this to my clients?' Whether open-mindedness or out of politeness, Khizam tried out a session. Now she's a fully-fledged reiki convert (and convertor) who gives treatments at Lifestyles Health Club & Spa and encourages Lebanese doctors to use reiki as a complementary medicine. After she educates me in the seven main benefits of reiki (from stress relief to building up antibodies in breastmilk), I think I'm ready to try out a session.
