What Reiki Can Do For You!

Do you feel tired often? Out of balance? Feel emotionally drained?  Have chronic pain or other chronic symptoms?

Let Reiki help you. Reiki is a wonderful  energy technique for balancing, harmonizing, and replenishing the body mind. This healing art feeds vital life to every cell in the body.

Reiki is a hands-on method of channeling energy through the body causing a relaxing flow of healing vital life force to all body systems. This puts the body in a state of rest and receptivity, a fundamental condition necessary in order for other healing forces, such as the right foods, water, rest and exercise, to have their positive influence in the healing process. Just as you need a good night's sleep to revitalize yourself for another day of living, you also need to periodically re balance the body's life energy field, which gets disrupted from the stress of day-to-day living. Reiki is an excellent option for providing the centering you need to meet the obligations of life confidently and energetically.

Reverse and reduce the amount of harmful stress in your life!

All Stress, of course, is not bad. It is a much needed system of responses that all biological creatures have in order to keep themselves alive. The stress response allows us to fend off dangerous events or circumstances, which sometimes occur. Here’s what happens in our bodies when a stressor arises:

  • The heart beats faster; Respiration increases
  • The central nervous system is on alert
  • The glandular system – particularly the adrenals -  secretes more hormones
  • Muscle tension increases and strength increases

While at the same time:

  •  Digestion slows
  •  Kidney function slows

This makes you stronger and ready now to fight or flee or otherwise effectively handle the situation until it is resolved. This is good.

However, research shows that many kinds of stress impact us on a daily basis.   For example, poor diet, not enough sleep, high responsibility, frustration, anger, financial or career pressures, and illness, all tax the body mind and cause the same kind of prolonged stress response as outlined above. This is not so good. It leads to imbalance and illness.

Reiki calms the body mind spirit – the human energy field. It establishes equilibrium, homeostasis, coherence, and peace. It causes the body’s own life force to flow evenly throughout the field to help reverse the stress response. Reiki reduces pain; it causes healing from any injury to take place quicker. Reiki relaxes, re balances, and renews. Call me today at 860-514-7174 to schedule an appt.  Try it, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
