How Can Reiki Energy Healing Help Me With Grief?

In order to understand how energy healing can assist you in your grief journey, 

it is important to understand what Reiki really is.



Let's summarize the history of Reiki by knowing that it has been practiced by ancient civilizations for thousands of years according to historical accounts and may have roots in Tibet.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.  

As learned during teachings, Reiki works by harnessing the life force energy that is all around us in the universe.  The skilled Practitioner has learned the process of tapping into this healing energy, in order to direct it through the hands and into the client's physical and energetic body.

When practiced regularly, it appears to help the energetic body to become more balanced which in turn can assist you in maintaining an overall feeling of well-being.  We feel the effects of a balanced system when our mind, body, and spiritual aspects are in sync.  

When we experience the pain of grief, it can take hold of our mental capabilities and we may experience such symptoms, like brain fog, insomnia, headaches, lack of appetite, fatigue, physical ailments, and of course, emotional instabilities.

What we do know when it comes to grief, all of our systems become out-of-balance, and we feel the effects on every level of our being.  Grief Reiki may not be able to change the circumstances of your life, nor take away the sadness of your loss, but it may help you to feel calm and relaxed, in an otherwise torrential situation.  

Practicing Reiki can enhance your body's ability to heal itself, so that the symptoms that are tied to grief, can be easier to deal with.

Reiki provides a host of benefits to ease physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energies.  Some of these may include:

  • Promotes better sleep
  • Reduces emotional turmoil and tension
  • Successful relaxation and restful periods
  • Assists with pain management
  • Soothes digestion and improves circulation
  • Reduces stress and anxiety
  • Enhances the ability for the body to heal

When you are experiencing the loss of loved ones, life can seem very difficult, even when completing the simplest of tasks.

Finding the resources to help you through the journey towards healing, is the best way for you to recover from the devastation that grief leaves you with.
