5 Reasons To Schedule A Reiki Session

Reiki is the Japanese art of energy healing. Sessions are typically done lying down or sitting, but unlike massage, there is no need to take off your clothing. The practitioner uses their hands to guide energy around your body in order to release energy blocks, but they almost never physically touch you. The practice can help with a variety of personal issues.

1. High Stress

Stress is one of the more popular reasons to seek out Reiki healing. The energy-managing movements of a skilled practitioner are meant to trigger feelings of relaxation. This can help stress and many of the side effects, such as anxiety and headaches, to melt away. Regular sessions can help permanently reduce your stress levels.

2. Low Mood

Feeling a bit down or under the weather? Then Reiki may provide some relief. A low mood can lead to depression, anxiety, and lack of energy in your daily life. Reiki works to improve the flow of energy. Your practitioner will skillfully guide the energy flows through and around you, while also clearing any blocks that are contributing to the low mood. It's not uncommon to leave a session feeling calm, peaceful, and somewhat energized. 

3. Mobility Pain

Reiki is considered a healing art, using energy as the main tool to achieve healing. Muscle aches and pains in the wrists or back, for example, may persist even if you use physical healing arts like massage or exercise. The muscles are healing, but blocked energy is still contributing to pain and discomfort. Reiki can move the energy so that you can better feel relief. 

4. Mental Disconnect

Feeling disconnected and out of sorts, whether emotionally or spiritually, is seen as a symptom of blocked energy flows in Reiki. The session will bring you firmly into your own body and mind, allowing you to practice a sort of mindfulness that there is rarely time for in modern daily life. Clearing the blocks can help you begin to foster a daily mindfulness or meditation practice, or it can simply make you more aware and peaceful within your own mind.

5. Sleep Issues

Poor sleep affects every part of one's life, and it can lead to a lot of unwelcome health issues. Restless sleep and trouble sleeping can sometimes be a result of blocked energy or inefficient energy flows. A session with your practitioner is a relaxing time, which in itself can foster better sleep. Further, attending to the energy flows throughout your body and systems can also help bring deeper, more healing sleep at night. 

Consider a Reiki energy healing session if you notice any of these problems in your life.
