Your 5-minute Guide to Reiki Healing
Are you curious about this increasingly popular holistic therapy & what actually happens to your body during a Reiki session?
More and more people are turning to Reiki as a means of treating the ailments of modern everyday life. From stressed out executives, busy mums, students, teachers they are all realising the benefits of this gentle non-invasive healing art.
Today’s fast paced environment, especially after the pandemic has left us all feeling that little bit more anxious and stressed. This in turn causes our bodies to function in a high state of anxiety and arousal, which can lead to many conditions such as high blood pressure, anxiety, stress, depression, IBS – the list is endless.
Taking Responsibility for Your own Health
Many Doctors agree that a lot of patients’ health complaints could be resolved faster or on their own with rest without the need for medical intervention or drugs. Side-effects such as imbalances in the gut microbiome can lead to digestive issues which in turn feed your brain and as a result can affect your mental state. This is where a regular preventative Reiki practice can make a difference. Reiki can also work alongside conventional medical treatment to help balance the body and ease the stress of treatment. You must seek medical advice if you are unsure of any symptoms.
How Reiki can Help Optimise your Health
Reiki treats your entire system by helping your body to relax, this physiological response is the beginning of healing within your body. Reiki does not treat a specific symptom or disease but rather works to downregulate your nervous system. This shifs you from a state of stress and anxiety to a state of rest, digest and repair which in turn optimises the balance within your body.
This means that you:
- Feel better
- Function better
- Digest better
- Sleep better
When we move into a state of optimum balance, we stop flooding our bloodstreams with the biochemicals of stress such as adrenaline and our whole biochemistry starts to change, we then start to experience the neurotransmitters that make us feel peaceful and relaxed.
Reiki and Pain
The experience of pain can get locked into the nervous system, even when healed the pain can persist, Reiki can influence the body to down-regulate the nervous system and can allow the body to let go of that habit of pain.
Getting the Most from your Reiki Sessions
The benefits of Reiki can start to be felt after the first session, and sometimes this is all that is required. Traditionally a series of 4 treatments is recommended in quick succession if there is a deep-rooted underlying issue, followed by maintenance sessions as required.
