It is a fact that a relaxed, stress free body is the way to a healthy body. There are many ways to de-stress. We live stressful lives full of scheduled appointments, impromptu events, and unexpected pleasant and sometimes unpleasant events. We are dealing with raising children, caring for our elderly parents, and managing careers. Yes, life can be stressful.
There are many ways to help de-stress the body. Meditation, regular exercise, proper rest and eating nutritious foods are just a few ways that will help to alleviate stress in your life. A discipline of taking time out for you everyday can really help as well. There are also types of energy body work that also aide in the relaxation of the body. Reiki is a Japanese word that means “Universal Life Force Energy” or Ray of God. It is an ancient light touch healing art which removes energy blocks and constrictions which keep us from living a balanced, joyful and healthy life. It is believed that energy imbalances may be precursors to dis-ease. By removing these energy imbalances and constrictions, Reiki helps restore our natural balance and flow. Reiki promotes healing on every level-physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. This energy brings balance, relaxation, and rejuvenation to the body. It helps to expand consciousness to the understanding of the universal oneness. Feelings of love, peace, and a deeper connection with divine love, wisdom and light prevail.
As the Reiki energy moves through the recipients body promoting health and wellbeing it continues to reverberate outward into ones relationships, surroundings, and life’s purpose. Life begins to shift and change. As our trust in the universal flow grows we learn to have faith, let go, and be at peace. We become less attached to the outcome and trust that everything is exactly as it should be no matter how things appear. Only then can we be led to our highest good. As we use the Reiki energy we begin to attract people, places, and circumstances that support our growth. As you work with Reiki energy, it works with you.
Reiki is a life force energy which is channeled through the practitioner to themselves or to another. It is a divinely guided energy that goes exactly where it needs to go for the highest good. It is simple to learn and use. Reiki is a loving, accepting, stress reducing, comforting energy. It can be used as a spiritual practice, or a living meditation and it is life transforming. Reiki is not a religion or a form of massage and Reiki is available to all.
Why not treat yourself or a loved one to a Reiki session. The benefits to your body are enormous not to mention that you will feel totally relaxed and ready to dive into your busy schedule.
