Summary

A person's life is a stage that passes in the time interval that ends with his birth when he opens his eyes to the world and his death when he closes his eyes to the world. Old age is a forced end for all people. Sleep is one of the most important and basic human needs. It prepares the individual for a new day by resting the body, strengthening and regulating the cerebral functions and repairing the brain. While a change in sleep pattern and quality affects a person's daily life activities, long-term persistence of this change may lead to deterioration of body and mental health.During Reiki practices, the hands are held in each position for 3-5 minutes by touching the head, neck, chest, abdominal cavity and groin. In problem areas, this time can be extended to 10-20 minutes. The duration of treatment lasts an average of 30-90 minutes. During the application, the person is in a lying or lying position and does not need to take off his clothes.
