How to Manage Stress with Reiki

One of the biggest health factors we all face is how to manage stress. Many years ago when I started attending a Reiki healing circle I noticed something very special happening. During the healing circle, someone would get on the Reiki table to have a 15-minute treatment from two to three practitioners. What I noticed happening is that at the end of the 15-minute session, the person on the table had such a glow about them. The effects of stress they may have been experiencing seemed to all dissolve away, in a short period of time.

This happened time after time. The person receiving the Reiki treatment also had a big smile on their face as well. While I was a very new Reiki practitioner at that time and I may have initially questioned what effect the Reiki was having, those doubts quickly subsided. What I found was that Reiki was an excellent way to relieve stress. So, if someone asks me how to deal with stress, I suggest they experience Reiki.

Reiki can be one of the greatest stress management techniques we have at our disposal.

Having been a Reiki practitioner and teacher for over 12 years, I have learned first hand the value of what Reiki can do with stress. At our healing circles, the Reiki practitioner loves to receive a treatment as much as giving one. After all these years of receiving Reiki, I call it 15 minutes of bliss!

Most recently, one gentleman who had been attending one of our healing circles called it a religious experience. But, it is important to understand that Reiki is not affiliated with any religion, but for many it can be a wonderful spiritual experience and practice in addition to learning how to relieve stress for themselves.

I believe that everyone has innate healing ability. Many times, someone will take a Reiki class to further understand this healing ability and to, perhaps to give it a name. Once you learn to tap into this wonderful, loving energy, youve tapped into a wonderful relaxation technique that you can use on yourself at any time.

Even hospitals are drawing upon the healing power of Reiki. According to the American Hospital Association, Reiki is used in over 800 hospitals and clinics in the U.S. alone. It works very well along side conventional medicine and helps to reduce anxiety and stress. So, if you want to learn to relax and manage stress, learn Reiki. I call it one of the essential tools for life. Want to learn more about Reiki? Visit www.reikimissouri.com and get your free tips for health and wellness
