How Does Reiki Help with Healing Trauma?

Trauma is a complex and deeply rooted experience that can have a profound impact on an individual’s emotional, physical, and mental well-being. Trauma can impact the body’s energy systems, often causing blockages and disruptions in the flow of energy. Recovery from trauma can be a challenging and difficult journey, and many individuals turn to a variety of healing modalities to support them in their healing process. Reiki energy healing is one such modality that has gained popularity in recent years, as it has been found to be an effective way to support trauma recovery.

Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The practice involves the practitioner placing their hands on or near the client’s body, allowing energy to flow through them and into the client. Since energy is not limited by time or space, Reiki can also be sent from a distance, allowing the option of virtual sessions. 

Benefits of Reiki energy healing include:

-Balancing and restoring the body’s natural energy

-Promoting physical and emotional healing

-Release energetic blockages

-Activates the body’s natural relaxation response

-Promote a sense of calm and relaxation

-Reducing stress levels

-Creating a safe and supportive environment for healing

Another way that reiki can support trauma recovery is by promoting emotional release. Trauma can often be stored in the body as physical tension and emotional blockages. Reiki can help to release these blockages and promote emotional healing, allowing individuals to process and release the emotions associated with their trauma.
