What makes it successful?
Reiki acts quickly to calm the receiver/patient. This has a soothing effect on the mind, instantly lessening the focus, or energy, given over to worry, anxiety, irritability etc. This makes the person better equipped for treatment.
How does it work?
Reiki works on the body's energy centres - chakras - which work directly on the glands of the endocrine system and plexus of the nervous system.
There are 7 main chakras and 7 glands.
- Crown chakra + Pineal gland
- Third eye chakra + Pituitary gland
- Throat chakra + Thyroid
- Heart chakra + Thymus
- Solar Plexus chakra + Pancreas
- Sacral/Spleen chakra + Adrenals
- Root chakra + testes & vagina reproductive glands
The Endocrine system is one of the body's major mechanisms. It influences the cells, organs and bodily functions. The glands produce and secret hormones - chemical messengers - to stimulate, inhibit and regulate the organs processes, thereby maintaining optimum health.
As with any illness, mental disharmony or dis-ease is caused by a cellular or hormonal imbalance within the body, mind or spirit.
Reiki is a holistic therapy. It treats the whole person, and mental health is as much to do with the body and spirit as it is to do with the mind.
The effects and results
Clients have often 'found' reiki as last resort, or felt drawn to it without really knowing what it is. But, tired of popping pills or generally feeling low due to life changes - divorce, death, redundancy/career changes, financial worry, relationship issues - they have found it works.
Reiki treats the physical problem - digestive, bowel disorder, blood pressure, hair loss, insommnia, erectile dysfunction - as well as the emotional/mental condition.
Reiki is increasingly used alongside psychotherapy. Reiki does not lessen the life challenge. It does not bring back loved one nor solve debt, but it does enable the receiver to deal with those concerns.
If you are suffering from a mental health concern, reiki may be the perfect tool in assisting you through the recovery process.
