Enhancing Wellness: The Power of Reiki in Complementary Care
Have you ever thought of Reiki as a complementary therapy? Reiki is a non-invasive and gentle healing technique that treats your body, mind, energy, and spirit. As a complementary therapy, Reiki can support you through illness, recovery, rehabilitation, and beyond. It does this by resetting your internal energy flow and settling your nervous system allowing your body to deeply relax, re-balance, and recharge. Reiki clients also report feeling safe, calm, and deeply relaxed during and after sessions. Consider adding Reiki to complement your wellness plan, and feel it elevate your other therapies from body work, like massage, to talk therapy and pharmaceutical treatments.
The above is what I wrote out for my editorial in Wellness News for the September issue and I myself have seen the positive benefits of Reiki in my clients, and myself, with adding Reiki as a part of a wellness plan when recovering or wanting to heal from all kinds of things.
During the summer I was asked to make some out-of-town house calls to assist a client who was going through instensive Radiation and Chemotherapy for their cancer treatment. I agreed at once and was happy to support them in their healing journey. The sessions helped them handle the medications and the effect it had on their ability to eat food, assisted in pain-relief, and helped them get some much needed relaxation. Our last session together involved a lot of physical releases of tension that had been building up over time so that they could fully, and deeply relax so that their system could focus on healing and replenishing.
I had some good discussions with colleagues during my summer vacation about having Reiki sessions as part of end-of-life care, or palliative care, as a part of that part of creating space and deep relaxation and relief for clients who are starting the transition from this life to the next. An aspiring death-doula (a new term I learned this summer) asked me about how energy healing supports the mind, body, and spirit, and I explained the benefits of Reiki. And from that conversation, I think that Reiki training would be a great complement for anyone wanting to move into that field to support their patients.
I could write on and on about how Reiki and ThetaHealing can support talk-therapy by finding and releasing the limiting root belief systems opening pathways to new experiences and idea and in doing so supports future counselling and therapy sessions. I could also write about how Reiki is great for massage and reflexology therapists as a way to really relax your client, provides extra pain and tension relief during the session, protects your energy during sessions (so your energies don’t mix - IYKYK), and provides your client faster recovery times too. I could also talk about how Reiki, Sound, ThetaHealing could support a cleaning business as it can support in clearing and energizing spaces, like a home or business, to promote positivity, health, safety, and wellness along with the physical cleaning and clearing of the space. But I digress…
Energy Healing and Reiki can be for anyone at any stage in life. Whether to have it as part of your wellness plan, or part of your success as a therapeutic practitioner, or to support your insights in a coaching situation, it can be a great complementary therapy in any situation. And if you are interested in more, book a Session or come to a class and see for yourself (that was a shameless plug for my services. lol).
Anyways, I wish you all the best on your healing and wellness journey, whatever that looks like. I’m so glad you are here and I really appreciate you reading this through and considering it. See you in the next one!
