Abstract A nine-year-old female with a history of perinatal stroke, seizures, and type-I diabetes was seen for six weeks of Reiki to determine the effects of Reiki on relaxation, and in turn, the prevention of future seizures. The secondary and tertiary aims were to determine the effects of Reiki on sleep patterns and the stress levels of the mother. There was a decrease in stress in both the child and the mother, as measured by a modified Perceived Stress Scale and a Perceived Stress Scale, respectively. There was no change in the child's overall sense of well-being, as measured by a global questionnaire. There was a positive change in sleep patterns on 33.3% of the nights during which the study occurred, as reported on a sleep log kept by the mother. The child and the Reiki Master (a Reiki practitioner who has completed all three levels of Reiki certification training and trains and certifies individuals in the practice of Reiki as well as provides Reiki to individuals) experienced warmth and tingling sensations on the same area of the child during the Reiki sessions. The child relaxed within the first five to seven minutes of each session as reported by the Reiki Master. There were no reports of seizures during this study. Reiki may be a useful adjunct for children with increased stress levels and sleep disturbances secondary to their medical condition. Further research is warranted to evaluate the use of Reiki in children, particularly with a large sample size, and to evaluate the long-term use of Reiki and its effects on adequate sleep. 

一名 9 歲的女性患有圍產期中風，癲癇發作和 I 型糖尿病史，為期 6 週的靈氣確定了靈氣對放鬆的 影響，進而預防未來的癲癇發作。二級和三級目標是確定靈氣對睡眠模式和母親壓力水平的影響。 兒童和母親的壓力分別下降了一個修正的感知壓力量表和一個感知壓力量表。全球問卷調查顯示， 小孩的總體幸福感沒有改變。根據母親保存的睡眠記錄報告，在 33.3％的夜間睡眠模式發生了積極 的變化。這個孩子和靈氣師（一個靈氣修煉者完成了靈氣認證培訓的所有三個級別，訓練和認證個 人的靈氣練習以及提供靈氣給個人）在孩子的同一區域經歷了溫暖和刺痛的感覺在靈氣會議期間。 在靈氣大師報告的每個課程的前五到七分鐘內，孩子放鬆了。在這項研究中沒有發現癲癇發作的報 導。靈氣可能是一個有用的輔助兒童壓力水平增加和睡眠障礙繼發於他們的醫療條件。進一步的研 究有必要評估靈氣在兒童中的應用，特別是在樣本量較大的情況下，評估靈氣的長期使用及其對充 足睡眠的影響。
