Reiki is a completely non-invasive, biofield energy healing practice that has been well-studied, and is considered to be both safe and effective as an adjunct to Western medicine.
Reiki treatments affect positive changes in the body’s subtle energy field that help improve our health and wellbeing. And, the effects are cumulative!
I first experienced Reiki when I was in serious pain from endometriosis. The practice took me through a total abdominal hysterectomy and helped me heal faster. Like Pilates, I found Reiki to be so effective for me that I learned to give treatments to myself and others and teach it to both clients and practitioners. It is primarily a self-treatment but also happens to work well on others.
Here Are 10 Reasons Why Reiki Is Used:
-
Pain Relief.
Reiki works alone for mild to moderate pain and in conjunction with pain medications for moderate to severe pain. I started it for my own pain relief and would say that almost 75% of my clients also turned to it for pain relief. It works!
-
Insomnia.
When I first started practicing Reiki on other people every client told me how well they slept the night after their treatment. When I cannot sleep, I do a quick treatment on myself in bed and that typically does the trick. A good night’s sleep improves your health and quality of life.
-
Stress Reduction.
We live in a high-stress world and any practice that helps us reduce and mitigate the effects of stress is a good thing. Reiki helps us relax, think more clearly, and helps reduce cortisol levels.
-
Meditation.
Many people find it difficult to meditate, with their “monkey mind” always asking questions and getting in the way of focused meditation practice. Since self-reiki treatments are always done the same way, there is ample opportunity to focus, find the breath, and feel the energy. This attention is a meditation practice and can be done daily.
-
Spiritual Growth.
Between the meditation, attention to subtle changes, and feeling the effects of energy in a way that our Western minds can’t always understand, Reiki tends to push us a little further on the path of spiritual growth. A Reiki practice is non-denominational, so people tend to grow generally more spiritual, no matter what, if any, religion they identify with.
-
Energy Balance.
Reiki promotes a more even, smoother energy, with fewer highs and lows. This helps me when I am feeling scattered, tend to be very high energy, or am feeling exhausted.
-
Improved Mood.
With all of this goodness, how could you maintain a lousy mood? Less pain, better sleep, more balance, and meditation all lead to one place, a better mood!
-
Increased Energy.
If you are drained, Reiki will help. It brings universal energy to you, reminding you that it is quite easy to tune in and feel better.
-
Increased Sense of Wellbeing.
Reiki is cumulative, so every time you get another treatment, you will feel even better. That’s why the self-practice is so great because you can do it every single day and just keep feeling better!
-
Emotional Clarity.
The biofield balancing effects and the focus of Reiki can help us become calmer and clear-headed. Are you exhausted, angry, upset, depressed, confused about how you feel? An energy treatment will help you become calmer, more centered, and more relaxed. Basically, you will be in a much better place to decide how you feel and what you would like to do about it.
If you have never experienced a treatment before, I encourage you to try it. It won’t harm you, it can only help!
