As Reiki offers a holistic approach to healing, you may be wondering if it actually provides any health benefits. The good news is that, yes, Reiki is quite beneficial as an alternative or complementary therapy. Specifically, Reiki promotes relaxation and stress reduction. While these two things may not sound like a big deal, the fact of the matter is that they play a large part in your overall health. The day-to-day challenges that we each face can take a large toll on our mental and physical well-being. Managing your stress levels is just as important as maintaining a healthy diet and active lifestyle.
What Does Stress Do to the Body?
Whether you’re experiencing it in the short- or the long-term, stress can cause a wide range of effects. Short-term effects can include headaches, stomach aches, difficulty concentrating, and irritability. In the long-term, stress can lead to more severe health issues like depression, heart problems, and digestive difficulties among others. Elevated stress levels can make it more difficult for you to recover from injuries or surgeries, experience positive interpersonal relationships, or manage chronic pain. The longer the stressful period is, the more likely it is that it will take a toll on your body and your sense of well-being. If you’re looking to improve your health, don’t overlook the huge role that stress and its management can play.
How Does Reiki Help with Stress?
As noted earlier, Reiki promotes relaxation and stress reduction and it does so through energy manipulation. Difficult times or experiences can cause your body’s energy fields to become blocked or out of balance. A Reiki Master will transfer energy from his or her body into yours, which will help to ensure that your energy fields are balanced and working as they should. Once your energy flow has been normalized, you’re likely to feel invigorated and energized while also deeply calm. This sense of peace helps to reduce your stress levels and, for many, it assists with stress management in the future as well.
