How Reiki treatments and self-Reiki practise ease your imbalance, and what exactly is an imbalance?
Do you want to feel better and think differently? Do you value your health and wellbeing? Are you interested in balancing your imbalance?
Reiki is a spiritual practice that promotes optimum health and wellbeing. It restores you to balance:
– physically,
– mentally,
– emotionally and
– spiritually.
Receiving Reiki is deeply relaxing. It creates an environment for healing to take place.
When you’re in balance you feel better, make better choices, have more harmonious relationships and create healthier environments.
I’ve been practicing Reiki since 2002. I often see people in a state of imbalance. An imbalance is a physical, emotional, mental or spiritual condition that’s preventing you from living life to the fullest.
Anxiety, stress, and depression are imbalances that Reiki can help you to manage. Grief, physical injury and illness can also be eased with Reiki. Whether your imbalance is chronic or short lived, it’s letting you know that something isn’t right and extra support and care is needed. Reiki eases your imbalance and restores harmony.
Experiencing an imbalance, such as anxiety, is unpleasant. Here, it’s common to have:
– interrupted sleep
– digestive disturbances
– headaches
– poor concentration
– ruminations about the future or past
– physical aches and pain.
Questions like: “Will I feel normal again?” are common. Perhaps you’ve received support that’s unsuccessful or partially successful. Receiving Reiki or learning Reiki is beneficial because Reiki balances your central nervous system allowing healing to take place.
In addition to the healing and recovery response that Reiki creates, four main things happen.
1. Reiki treatment highlights your need for better health and support
Similar to receiving a massage, once a Reiki practitioner starts the treatment, you recognise just how much you need it. This insight is helpful. It allows you to accept, on a deeper level, that there’s an imbalance. Once you accept the imbalance you can then take steps to restore harmony. Some of these steps are self-care practices we go through in your Reiki session and during Reiki courses.
2. Reiki treatments encourage you to be gentle with your imbalance
Instead of berating yourself that you’re experiencing something unpleasant you recognise that it’s normal and acceptable to:
– grieve after a loved one passes away,
– worry when you’re having challenges conceiving,
– experience stress when a relationship ends,
– experience resentment or burnout when you’re personally and/or professionally overworked,
– experience hormonal fluctuations.
Your imbalance is letting you know that something isn’t right. Reiki treatment encourages you to be gentle with yourself and accept your imbalance. When you accept it, it lessens in intensity.
3. Reiki treatments highlight that your imbalance as an opportunity for self-care
Emotional, spiritual, mental and physical imbalances remind us that we need to take better of ourselves. When we practice good self-care we have more energy for others and ourselves. If you’re a natural giver, or put the needs of others before your own, then self-care is an ongoing practice. There are different ways to practice self-care. Self-Reiki, Reiki treatment, deep breathing exercises, healthy dietary choices, exercise and better boundaries are all ways to look after your holistic health.
4. Reiki treatments reduce your imbalance and restore harmony
Reiki practise creates a relaxation response that promotes healing and recovery. This lessens the intensity of your imbalance. Throughout treatment, your imbalance can reduce from a 10/10, to a 2/10. Rather than an imbalance being like a tidal wave of discomfort, it lessens to a smaller ocean ripple that’s easier to overcome. It has the potential to swell again, and this serves as an opportunity to implement self-care practices.
Experiencing an imbalance is challenging, but it’s also an opportunity for better self-care. It’s reassuring to know that your imbalance can be overcome, and support is available for you.
