Are You Going Through an Emotionally Challenging Time?

More people get a Reiki session for emotional reasons than anything else.

They are going through emotional challenges and need something to help them.

Maybe friends have told them it can help.

Maybe they have an intuitive hunch.

Whatever the case, in the 17 years I’ve been working as a professional healer, I’ve never once had a single case where a person didn’t feel some emotional relief from a session.

I’m not saying that if they are suffering the loss of a loved one or the pain of a separation, then a session fixes everything.

Far from it.

But a session does help soothe the emotional pain and create a place of greater calm and inner balance.

This gives clients an ‘emotional breather’, a place to more calmly take stock of their situation and, as a result, start making better decisions about how to move forward.

This leads us to a critical point:

When it comes to emotional issues, we ultimately need to heal ourselves—at least if we want the long-term benefits of healing.

Deep healing typically comes from within, especially for issues that are a result of lifestyle.

For if something in our life is creating an imbalance and we never change anything, then even if a healing session does help us initially, if we keep doing what we have always done, we will ultimately return to the same place we were at before a session.

Which is why I always recommend that people learn Reiki.

That way, they will be given the tools for long-term, positive changes.

They will learn:

Meditations to ground, calm and centre themselves.

Meditations to clear energetic blocks.

Techniques for using Reiki energy to dissolve old hurts and wounds.

They will also benefit from two days of healing (at a course), which is far more powerful than a single healing session.

Reiki Is Not A Magic Pill

As powerful as I believe Reiki is, as much as I’ve seen it do over the decades, it is not a magic pill.

One session isn’t going to fix everything that’s gone wrong in your life over the past twenty years, and neither is a weekend course.

But if you work with the techniques you learn in a course, if you practice them consistently, then, from my experience, you’ll almost always find that things bit by bit improve.

On any given day, who knows how you might be feeling, but if you work with Reiki, I think you’ll find that, on average, things improve.

If you take your average state of wellbeing for the past thirty days, for example, you’ll find it is better than the previous thirty days.

The key, however, will be to practice consistently (ideally daily).

As the saying goes: ‘For the system to work, you have to work the system.’

Do that, and I’m confident you’ll look back over time and be amazed at how much learning Reiki helps you.
