How does Reiki help with painful conditions

Chronic pain does not need to be described for those people who live with it every day. It can be tiring just thinking about getting through each day while in pain, and emotionally upsetting thinking about the long term implications of pain.

Reiki can be used to help with a variety of pain-related issues, such as headaches, back pain, and menstrual cramps. It is also said to be helpful for individuals dealing with chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and arthritis. Reiki can also help with emotional pain, such as stress, anxiety, and depression.

Back Pain is caused by imbalances or blockages in the body's energy. Treatment of chronic lower back pain is often frustrating for conventional medical practitioners because the source of the pain is non-specific. Energy Healing goes beyond site-specific treatment by releasing and rebalancing energy flow and reducing the stress in the whole of the body. Reiki also opens emotional channels and releases stressful emotions that may be causing the body to assume physically painful defensive postures that may result in pain in specific areas of the body, such as the lower back.

Pain from Injuries

Pain from injuries, whether chronic, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress injuries, or acute, such as a sports injury, can be alleviated or moderated through the use of reiki. I direct the energy towards the site of the pain, stimulating healing. Reiki can be used either alone or in conjunction with other healing therapies to treat injuries.

Reiki can also help with emotional pain as it can help to reduce stress, anxiety and depression. Emotional pain is caused by imbalances or blockages in the body's energy, and that by restoring balance and releasing these blockages, the individual can experience a greater sense of well-being and inner peace. It can also be used to release negative emotions such as anger, sadness and fear.

During a Reiki session for emotional pain, I will place my hands on or above my clients body in various positions, with a focus on my clients head, heart and solar plexus area. My client will typically lie down and be fully clothed. During the treatment, they may feel a warmth or tingling sensation in the area being treated.

Reiki for Prevention Reiki is a wonderful technique for maintaining health, looking after your well-being and keeping your energy levels up. It alleviates stress and could be a way to manage pain in a lifestyle where chronic pain is a constant issue. It brings light in during winter, it restores and revitalises on emotional, spiritual and physical levels. It is worth trying Reiki to see what it can do for you.

I have treated many clients with pain related injury's, and every time they have felt the benefits.

Here is just a couple of testimonial's I received from clients after their treatment.

"I initially went to Sharon for some Reiki as I had bad nerve pains in my right arm that was preventing me from using it at all. I had already tried expensive laser treatment from a physio and had had some acupuncture with no real results at all. I was so desperate to get it sorted I even paid for a private MRI scan but it didn't find anything. I was in a bad place. I'd been like it for about 5 weeks and couldn't even hold a pen without getting shooting pains up my arm. I went round and was put at ease straight away, she asked me exactly what was wrong and really listened to what I had to say. The environment was very professional and relaxing. She handled my arm with care as I couldn't even be touched some days and around a week and a half later after a few treatments I was able to go back to work. It hasn't gone away completely but is 95% there. I definitely feel I've got my life back. Thanks Sharon, I will be back!". Rebecca - Tiddington

"I am an unreconstructed cynic when it comes to "alternative therapies" and such. However, having suffered from a virtually seized third finger on my right hand (I suffer from osteoarthritis and tendonitis), I let Sharon work on it as a last resort. Result? Three treatments and my hand is back to normal. Am I still a sceptic? Mmm pains me to say but I'm a convert. Barry -Tiddington

Reiki is a Energy Healing technique which has been shown to be very effective in balancing the body and helping release tension and stress around emotional, and some physical, disease. Reiki brings balance back to the body, and with it comes a new sense of calmness and an improvement in the flow of energy. It improves sleep patterns, reduces pain and these bring with it a brighter, fresher outlook on life.
