Healing For People
Reiki energy healing is a holistic practice that promotes relaxation and balance within the body. It can help with stress reduction, emotional healing, pain relief, and overall well-being. Many people find that Reiki sessions enhance their mental clarity and emotional resilience. Whether you're looking to alleviate physical discomfort or simply seek a deeper sense of peace, Reiki can be a valuable tool on your wellness journey.
Researchers have discovered that individuals who received Reiki experienced significant reductions in pain, blood pressure, breathing rate, and anxiety both before and after surgery, showing greater improvements than those who did not receive Reiki.
Further studies indicate that Reiki can aid cancer patients by enhancing pain management and lowering anxiety levels, while also facilitating a smoother processing of their cancer treatment.
Reiki offers a respite from daily life stresses, potentially alleviating tension and promoting relaxation. In this relaxed state, the body may be better equipped to heal damage caused by stress, injury, or illness. By inducing deep relaxation, Reiki can enhance and expedite the body's natural healing processes, allowing it to focus on recovery.
Research suggests that just one Reiki session can shift your autonomic nervous system from a sympathetic-dominant state, associated with "fight-or-flight," to a parasympathetic state in the hypothalamus, allowing the autonomic nervous system to stimulate or relax bodily functions like heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion.
However, when faced with stressors like poor sleep or confrontations, your sympathetic nervous system reacts by releasing hormones such as epinephrine, which raises heart rate and blood pressure. However, chronic stress or severe past experiences, such as trauma and PTSD, can cause this response to become overactive, increasing the risk of heart disease.
The parasympathetic dominant state is the ideal condition for, and Reiki helps support the autonomic nervous system in a state of safety, rest, recovery, and ease.
Remember, Reiki is a complementary therapy designed to work alongside, not replace, other medical and therapeutic approaches. While its balancing effects can benefit various situations, it should not substitute for treatments prescribed by healthcare providers or be used against medical advice.
