Chronic Illness & Reiki

Reiki works to heal the energy flow of the body and mind, but it does not claim to cure disease. However, by restoring and maintaining this most important balance, Reiki helps the body’s natural energy return to a healthy functioning flow.  When energy or chi is flowing freely, it can ease the harmful effects of stress and frustration that often go hand in hand with the various stages of chronic disease or illness. 

Being diagnosed with a serious illness can release many strong emotions.  Disbelief, fear, anger, sadness and depression are just a few of the feelings that may arise after receiving knowledge of personal illness.  When we add in the compounded side effects of medication, holding on to a job, raising children, and maintaining relationships with friends and loved ones, the exhaustion, stress, and anxiety can become extremely overwhelming.

Receiving Reiki when ill will surely enhance an individual’s well being.  By inducing relaxation it brings a sense of calmness and peace that in turn helps to relieve unhealthy emotions.  By clearing the body of negative energy Reiki helps one to become centered and to connect with one’s inner-self. Eventually the individual will reach an understanding and essential acceptance of their new body and will learn to reestablish trust and self-confidence from within. 

Reiki can lead to living a more positive, healthful life by helping to make profound shifts in one’s relationship with one’s self, as well as with friends and loved ones.  When body and mind are working together as one, true healing can begin.
