Reiki Healing For Grief & Loss
Losing someone close to us can elicit a whole range of emotional states — grief, anger, depression, frustration, regret, or bitterness can sit with us for many months or even years. We may feel exhausted and unable to function from the depth of grief, or sometimes from not feeling safe or supported enough to be able to express our feelings freely.
This is where Reiki can help. In a safe, healing and relaxing environment, Reiki will gently begin the process of lightening the heavy load of our grief. Reiki has sometimes been described as ‘energetic massage’, but unlike massage we stay fully clothed during a treatment. The Reiki Practitioner works with light touch on the body or just above the body in the auric field. We feel relaxed, peaceful and cared for by this nurturing and healing energy that starts to clear away the denser energies we have been carrying. Many people describe a Reiki treatment as a sense of peace, love and safety that they have rarely experienced. If you have trouble sleeping, a Reiki session will often give you a deep, restful sleep during or after the session.
Sometimes Reiki will help us to release some of the feelings we may have had difficulty accessing, because they have been too painful. In a non-judgmental, compassionate space, we can maybe start to forgive ourselves; let go of resentment; allow tears to flow and get our lives back on track. It can also make us feel more mentally clear, alert and positive.
Reiki treatment can provide a safe, loving and gentle alternative as the practitioner works all the way down the body from head to toe, with a light, comforting touch, focusing on the areas that a client may have shared are most in need, like the heart, or areas where the client is experiencing physical pain.
If you are feeling the burden of grief, a Reiki session can:
● Help you feel lighter and more able to cope.
●Help you release feelings of grief in a safe, supportive space.
●Ease feelings of guilt, resentment or bitterness.
●Help to ease physical pain.
●Support mental clarity and a positive attitude.
●Create deep relaxation and rest.
●Help you get back on your feet again.
