1. Deep relaxation that supports the body in releasing stress + tension
One of the most revered aspects of Reiki and Energy Healing are its ability to support deep relaxation as it reduces stress, anxiety, and mental load. What many people enjoy about their sessions is the time they get to themselves; no ‘doing’ just embrace the art of simply ‘being’. They leave feeling more grounded, clearer, peaceful, relaxed and more connect to themselves.
Reiki and Energy Healing provides a nurturing space where you can become more attuned to the inner workings of your body, mind and soul. Supporting you to come into yourself, to become more attuned to your own body and make wise decisions regarding your well being from this place. The presence in the moment empowers you to access even more inner knowing and wisdom that resides in all of us, helping you navigate life with a sense of balance and purpose.
2. Supports the release of "energy blocks" within the body; promoting the natural harmony between the body, mind, and spirit.
Often people come for Energy Healing work because they’ve heard about ‘blocked energy’ or ‘blocked and imbalanced chakras’. However, let’s dig deeper to truly understand what that means.
The concept of energy blocks shouldn’t be interpreted as you’ve done something wrong or something needs fixing. In reality, these energy blocks are a normal part of everyday life. Everyone has them. Just like everyone has places in their life that are effortless, flow and move with ease.
They are formed by unprocessed emotions, beliefs, stress, thoughts or memories. They can be conscious or unconscious and cause blockages in the life force energy or “Ki”, "Qi", "Prana", etc. These ‘blocks’ show up in life in a variety of ways, from feeling stuck, going in circles, limited patterns, beliefs and behaviors to harsh inner talk and negative feelings about yourself or others. They can also manifest as physical pains, and even disease within the body.
These energy blocks reflect imbalances within the system as a whole, impacting your wellbeing in different ways.
Energy Healing is a powerful technique for the movement of energy within your body, allowing your own life force to flow more easily. The process of releasing this energy over a period of time can be quite transformative. It has the potential to release mental and emotional wounds, offer relief from fear, frustration and even anger. Furthermore, Energy Healing can also strengthen your relationships as it enhances your capacity to love, it opens doors to deeper connections with those around you, nurturing personal relationships as well as your relationship to self.
3. Enhances Quality of Sleep
The most easily dismissed outcome of receiving a Energy Healing session is relaxation. Yet, how often do we feel truly relaxed, calm and peaceful? This relaxation not only supports a sense of peace but also paves the way for sleep. When we sleep better, our bodies have the opportunity to heal and rejuvenate. We function better with good sleep, we think clearer and our connections with ourselves and others deepen and improve. During a Energy Healing session, clients often experience deep relaxation and some may even drift off into a restful slumber.
4. Boosts the body's ability to self-heal
Energy Healing awakens your self-healing response, guiding you back to your natural healthful state by bringing the body into energetic balance. During Energy Healing sessions, an individual will always breathe deeper into their belly and when we breathe better, our minds naturally begin to settle as our focus moves into the body.
As your breathing deepens your body naturally moves into parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) dominance, commonly known as the rest/digest phase. Our bodies are designed to function primarily within this restorative phase rather than the more frequently experienced fight or flight phase. Energy Healing, with its gentle touch and energy flow, gently guides you back to this optimal state, facilitating the body’s remarkable self-healing abilities.
Healing happens in the parasympathetic state. Embracing this restorative phase doesn’t mean you stop being active, productive or ‘do nothing’. Instead, it offers you enhanced sleep and improved digestion which are important for maintaining health and vitality. The more we immerse ourselves in this space, the more capacity you have to remain active and productive without succumbing to stress, anxiety, exhaustion and burnout.
5. Helps with pain management and relief
On the outside looking in, a Energy Healing treatment might appear to be merely a sequence of hand placements, however, its effects reach far deeper. It encourages your system to improve its vital functions (breathing, digesting and sleeping) so your physical systems function optimally. Energy Healing supports the physical and psychological aspects of chronic pain by relaxing the muscles and guiding you into a peaceful of mind.
Energy Healing extends its healing touch to both the physical and psychological dimensions of chronic pain. It works to ease physical discomfort by relaxing muscles creating a tranquil state of mind. Pain, however, is not solely a physical phenomenon; there’s an emotional aspect to it that deserves recognition.
Energy Healing can support the emotional layers of pain, potentially reducing pain perception. By allowing the free flow of healing energy throughout the body, it promotes relaxation and diminishes or limits pain and tension. Furthermore, it helps to alleviate stress and anxiety, contributing to a more comfortable experience and reducing the perception of pain.
6. Enhances spiritual growth + complements other modalities
The beauty of Energy Healing is that it is accessible to all. You do not need to be spiritual to enjoy the benefits of Energy Healing or adhere to any religious beliefs. Some may explore Energy Healing sessions as part of their personal journey towards spiritual growth and personal development.
Energy Healing is all-encompassing technique that addresses the whole person rather than isolated symptoms. It has the power to initiate profound, often subtle shifts from deep within your own being. What does that transformation look like? It may show up as insights on how to navigate difficult situations or an inspired shift in attitude or belief about your circumstance.
You may find yourself viewing your situation from a fresh, empowering perspective enabling you to deal with it in a more positive way. Energy Healing can support you to listen and hear your own inner internal guidance system, to align yourself to your values and vision as well as that of your family and community. In essence, Energy Healing empowers your spiritual and emotional journey, helping you unlock your inner wisdom and discover a more enlightened path.
Energy Healing serves as a wonderful compliment to conventional medicine, helping patients to relax on both the mental and physical level. This relaxation not only supports the patient’s healing process but also provides them with deeper sleep and a sense of calmness when many other aspects of life may be ‘out of their hands’.
Energy Healing is gentle and non-invasive so an individual can receive Reiki healing without the need for physical contact, making it a suitable choice for individuals who cannot have touch therapies. These individuals have the choice of hand-off Energy Healing’. They can still receive all the benefits of healing.
There are no contraindications for Energy Healing as it is holistic and natural. There is no physical manipulation during a treatment and nothing is ingested or put on the skin. Energy Healing can support pregnant women during each stage of their pregnancy from conception to birth and postpartum. It is a gentle treatment for anyone receiving chemotherapy. Energy Healing is great for children and promotes relaxation in an often overstimulating world. Energy Healing is beneficial for everyone.
7. Promotes harmony + balance throughout all aspects of life
Balance isn’t static but rather an ebb and flow of harmony that we navigate in life. It’s easy to not notice the pendulum has swung too far in one direction until the overwhelm, the cluttered mind, the sense of disconnection from self and a feeling of being dragged by the day become overbearing. In these times, we often need a helping hand to come back to centre. Sometimes, if these disconnections persist for long enough, physical symptoms and disease will also be present.
Energy Healing serves as that helping hand guiding you back to your center, restoring balance on all levels and working directly on the problem and condition instead of just masking or relieving symptoms.
8. Supports the healthy processing of emotions
Life is emotional, and there's no way to avoid going through the highs and lows. Unfortunately, our society has imprinted on us the importance of negating the "heavy" emotions that we feel. In so doing this, we suppress emotions that need to be felt, bottling them up inside of us, sometimes for years, even decades. Most of us aren't taught healthy ways to deal with emotions, especially those such as grief and loss. Energy Healing allows us to find these energy blocks caused by unprocessed emotions and work to process them so we can live a more productive life, unburdened by these blockages. It's not uncommon to feel rushes of emotions during an Energy Healing session and we encourage you to let your natural responses take over and really "feel" these emotions.
Each persons Energy Healing journey will be unique and there are no two people or two sessions that are alike. I'm happy to help guide you on your Energy Healing journey and am here to support you.
With love + blessings,
