According to the 2008/09 Labour Force Survey (LFS) an estimated 415,000 individuals in Britain, working in the last year, believed that they were experiencing work related stress at a level that was making them ill. Estimates from the LFS suggest that self-reported work related stress, depression, or anxiety accounted for around 11.4 million lost working days in Britain in 2008/09 (Source: Health and Safety Executive.) In fact, work related stress is one of the biggest causes of sick leave. The HSE define stress as,

"The adverse reaction a person has to excessive pressure or other types of demand placed upon them."

This is offers a fantastic chance for employees to use Reiki for themselves on a daily basis in order to promote personal health and wellbeing, with a broader positive impact on their home and work life.
