Trauma can happen at any age and affects people from all walks of life. It can impact your ability to process emotions, which can lead to feelings of isolation, depression, and anxiety. Read on to learn how Reiki can help you move past your trauma, allowing you to get back to enjoying your life again.
Reiki can help you access your body’s innate healing potential.
The word “reiki” means “universal life force energy.” Reiki comes from two Japanese words: rei (universal) and ki (vital energy). Reiki practitioners believe that everyone has an inner source of healing energy within their own body — they call it their “true self.”
This healing energy flows through pathways called chakras, which are connected to different parts of our bodies. It’s believed that if one of these chakras becomes blocked or damaged, it can cause disease or pain in another part of your body. Reiki practitioners can unblock these pathways by placing their hands on your body in certain positions for a few minutes at a time. The result is increased energy flow throughout your system, which helps you feel more relaxed and heal more quickly.
Reiki is instrumental in healing trauma stored in the body.
Trauma often gets stored in the body as tension, holding patterns or injuries. Reiki is instrumental in healing trauma stored in the body.
Reiki energy works on all levels of consciousness—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—to help us heal from the inside out. The process of Reiki helps us release old wounds and hurts so we can create a life free from negative emotions that keep us stuck in old patterns of behaviour or thinking.
Reiki can help loosen and remove stuck energy.
Reiki can help you heal from trauma by loosening and removing stuck energy. Trauma often leaves an imprint on the body that stays with us for years, sometimes decades. Reiki can help release these negative emotions so we can feel better about ourselves and be free of the past.
When you experience trauma your body’s energy becomes blocked and unable to flow freely through your chakras (energy centers). Reiki helps clear this energy blockage so it can flow freely again, allowing you to feel more balanced throughout your entire being.
Reiki can reduce the effects of stress on the body.
Trauma can cause stress on both your mind and body, which can affect everything from your immune system to your digestive system—even how you feel about yourself as a person. By reducing this stress response in your body, Reiki can help clear away any lingering negative emotions or thoughts so that you can move forward with your life without them holding you back.
Reiki can help recalibrate the nervous system.
The nervous system is the body’s main communication network. It uses electrochemical impulses to send messages from one part of the body to another. When that system is working properly, it helps us maintain our health and regulate our emotions. But when something goes wrong with the nervous system, we may experience anxiety, stress, and other negative emotions.
Trauma can cause a significant disruption in your nervous system. A traumatic event can overwhelm our ability to cope with stress and leave us feeling hopeless and depressed. Reiki can help recalibrate that communication network so that you can feel calmer and more balanced.
Reiki helps you come into alignment with your sense of self.
Trauma has lasting effects on the mind and body. It can change how we feel about ourselves, our relationships, and our place in the world. Reiki helps you come into alignment with your sense of self and restore balance in your body’s energy system. It helps you release old wounds and negative beliefs so that you can move forward with ease toward your highest potential.
Reiki helps you learn to be grounded and present in your body.
This can be especially helpful for trauma survivors who often experience a sense of disconnection from their bodies. Reiki also helps you feel like you have more choice over what happens to you and how you respond to it.
This gentle energy healing practice also allows you to feel safe and protected so that you can let go of your fears and worries about past trauma or bad memories, which can keep you from feeling happy and whole again.
When you’re in the midst of trauma, it can feel like there’s nothing you can do. But there is something you can do—and Reiki might be just what you need to get back on track with your healing process.
