"Reiki concludes the alternative medicine segment on this Wednesday's Dr. Oz Show (3PM on Fox, January 6). [4pm Central time]
After demonstrating therapies such as alternate nostril breathing and cupping, Mehmet turns to Reiki. He says, “The next [alternative remedy] I’m going to talk about is one of my favorites. We’ve been using it in the Oz family for years...” And it gets better from there.
Having Reiki make even a brief appearance on a mainstream health show is a significant step forward. Yes, Dr. Oz is a populist, but he is first of all a renowned cardiac surgeon at one of the top teaching hospitals in the world, and he would not give his attention to anything risky or without merit.
We are fortunate indeed to have such a credible, sensible, well informed, and popular advocate (need I mention totally charming and adorable?).
HELPING OZ HELP US
Now let's help Dr. Oz help us. This is our chance to let the producers know the public wants more information like this.
How can we do this?
Simple--watch the show, and invite your community to watch it. If you are part of an internet Reiki meetup group, post a notice there. Email your Reiki circle, your clients, your students. Email Uncle Harry. Post it on Facebook, on your page and share with any relevant groups you belong to.
The producers track the viewership for each program, and content that draws viewers is more likely to get featured again. If no one watches, they assume the public isn't interested.
READY TO STEP FORWARD?
This is also an opportunity for Reiki professionals to step forward in your own community.
Communications expert Jonna Rae Bartges from Asheville, North Carolina suggests contacting "your local station that airs the Dr. Oz show, and pitching a local angle of the Reiki story by demonstrating how Reiki works. Dr. Oz gives Reiki great credibility, and you can give it the local practical application. The stations will also appreciate getting a 2-day head start on the story."
Some hospitals that offer Reiki are recording the segment to publicize their programs. What a good idea to share with anyone you know who practices in health care!
Many of you have been trying to start Reiki programs in various institutions. Let your contacts there know about The Dr. Oz Show.
Remember that public health care institutions are conservative. They don't want to be the first to do anything. Seeing Reiki on a mainstream health program gives them confidence that there is public awareness and interest."
