How does Reiki work?

The Reiki energy works to bring balance back to the energy centers of the body. Imbalances in the body can show up as stress, pain, restlessness, insomnia, anxiety, exhaustion, negative thought patterns, poor appetite, sadness and many more ways. Reiki activates the parasympathetic nervous system response. This is the “rest and reset” state that many of us only access for a short amount of time in our sleep. By allowing our bodies to reach this state more often, we are welcoming more healing to occur! This does not mean that Reiki always makes you fall asleep (although this can happen while receiving a session). Reiki tells your body that you are safe and your nervous system leaves the sympathetic mode to go into the parasympathetic mode, and the rebalancing process begins. This feels very relaxing and dream-like. We all have connective tissue called fascia that holds everything in our body together. Fascia is affected by everyday life and tenses up or tightens when exposed to stress. Just like heat or physical therapy, reiki works to soften the fascia. Reiki is used in over 1,000 hospitals in the United States to help patients and care providers manage pain and stress.
