Where Does Wellness Fit In

Due to layoffs and cutbacks from full-time employment many people, including myself, are juggling multiple jobs as well as new business ventures and creative projects. So…how in the world do we actually make time to take care of ourselves, how do we nurture and support ourselves through our often stressful life circumstances?

Reiki May Be Your Solution

Well, the answer may just lie in the Japanese healing art known as Reiki or Universal Life Force Energy. It is a energy healing system that works to restore the body’s energy systems thus activating our natural ability to heal ourselves.

In a reiki session the client is usually lying on a message table while the reiki practitioner stands over and him or her, applying light touch in various hand positions to transfer healing life force energy to them.

Reiki In The News

More and more people are starting to respect, and understand the healing benefits of Reiki and people are starting to more openly report the health benefits that they are receiving from it.

In a resent ABC 7 News article it was stated that reiki helps to not only relieve depression but can also relieve chronic pain in cancer patients.

It was also reported to assist a mother in balancing a life which includes starting her own business and raising a teenager. She quotes that reiki “usually feels like you've had the most wonderful massage but without being touched". She also goes on to express that reiki is an energy modality that works with the body’s energy system to heal the mind, body and spirit.

Reiki Is My Solution

Personally I have received physical and not-so-physical benefits from reiki .

Reiki has reduced my bladder sensitivity issues that I have struggled with for over 10 years, such as frequency, urgency and even incontinence.

It has also reduced my level of anxiety and worry. Because of reiki, I feel more relaxed and empowered to accomplish my goals.

You Decide

Reiki is an energy healing technique that is growing in popularity in cultures that have primarily relied on western medicine to keep healthy. Do to its increase in demand, reiki training and reiki healing sessions are not only accessible through small private practices, but also in large well known hospitals and even online programs.

So, we all have our doubts about things that are new to us; however, isn’t your health and wellness worth trying something different even if you don’t completely understand it?

You have tried what you have already tried to incorporate balance into your life, now perhaps it’s time for you to explore other options.
