Reiki and relationships

Do Reiki and relationships go together? So many of my Reiki clients are coming to me for Reiki healing to help heal their relationship problems. Whether they have broken up, or in a troubled relationship, Reiki can absolutely help. The beauty of Reiki is that it works both holistically and on every level of your being.

Relationships and Reiki

Relationship problems can often cause emotional stress, and that in turn affects the stress levels of our mind and body. Our body then switches on its fight/flight response. This floods our body with stress hormones such as adrenalin, cortisol, and more. When our body goes into stress mode, it perceives a threat and gets your body ready for combat.

Short term vs long term stress

Our stress response is vital when there is an actual threat to our physical safety such as getting out of the way of dangerous driver! However if our body maintains a high level of stress (physical or emotional) for an extended period of time, this can have seriously detrimental effects. If we are constantly walking around with too much adrenalin and cortisol flooding our body, our immune system weakens. We become more prone to illness and infection, as well as mental health issues like anxiety and depression.

How can Reiki help your relationship?

So how can Reiki help? Reiki or energy healing calms your nervous system, and can bring about balance to your mind, body and emotional self. It relaxes you so that your body can finally switch off its stress response, and move back into rest and digest response instead. When we’re relaxed, the body is in recovery mode instead of fight or flight. We experience better quality sleep, our muscles and tissues recover faster, and we absorb more nutrients and minerals from our food. We can finally relax our mind from the anxious thoughts that absorb so much of our energy and time.

Balancing your energy

Reiki healing works by balancing your energy. When stressed, our body’s energy centres can work overtime or can also be deficient from over-stimulation. When we have a Reiki healing, we give ourselves a chance to lie down, relax, and rebalance. It’s subtle, yet extremely powerful. My clients have reported feeling significantly lighter, calmer, and more capable to rise up to any challenging situations.

Relationships and Reiki do go together!

When you’re feeling better, you vibrate at a higher energetic frequency than when your energy is out of balance. When you are energetically lighter, you will find that the situations and experiences you are going through will start to shift and change in response. The more you work on cleaning up your inner Self and your own energy, the better your relationships. Your outer experiences will become easier, more inspiring and you will feel more ‘in-flow’. Your outer world is always reflecting your inner world. Reiki healing is both a practical and spiritual way of helping you to find your inner peace, and therefore have a more calm and grounded outer experience too.
