"Through faith in the name of Jesus, this man was healed—and you know how crippled he was before. Faith in Jesus’ name has healed him before your very eyes."
~Acts 3:16
Reiki Healing
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy".
​
Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit causing relaxation and inducing feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.
​
Reiki is a non-intrusive and safe method of spiritual and emotional healing that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
Benefits of Reiki Healing
Reduces Stress
Similar to other traditional massage practices, one of the greatest benefits of Reiki healing is stress reduction and relaxation. Those struggling with PTSD or other mood and stress disorders often live in a state of hyper-vigilance due to the trauma they experienced. This hyper-vigilant state is extremely stressful. If you add that to the daily stressors that the average person faces, the cumulative stress is often crippling. Alleviating stress is imperative for those suffering from PTSD so they can regain control of their lives and begin the healing process.
Reduces Anxiety and Depression
Research shows that Reiki can help reduce anxiety and improve depression symptoms. In a recent study, clinically depressed subjects who underwent Reiki treatments demonstrated both immediate and long-term improvements in depression, stress and hopelessness after six weeks of treatment. People diagnosed with PTSD often suffer from prolonged bouts of anxiety and depression; alleviating these psychological issues allows them to move forward with other treatments as well as adjust to everyday stressors.
Jump Start the Healing Process
A reduction in stress, anxiety and depression allows the body and mind to start healing. The Reiki technique also helps those suffering from acute trauma as the treatment restores and balances the body’s natural healing energy. As a non-intrusive powerful form of energy work that reduces anxiety and stress, Reiki helps trigger the body and mind’s natural restorative abilities. PTSD patients benefit greatly from Reiki therapy through a reduction of psychological distress, allowing them to finally move forward on a path to healing.
