Blog 335 - Reiki for Trauma treatment

Our body is a beautiful fortress. It comes to a miracle with its ability to store trauma at a cellular level. Quite often, the physical and emotional manifestations of the trauma that brings in back pain, fatigue,insomnia, a tight neck, anxiety, depression - to name a few. Making the conection between the event and the symptoms is the first step in healing. Reiki can support this process by opening the heart space and allowing the individual feel again.

In Reiki, "ki" refers to energy - can be healthy or unhealthy. It is the primary energy of our emotions. It flows through pathways in the body called Chakras.When healthy Ki is flowing freely in our body and our chakras are balanced, we feel energetic. Transparency and consent are important when working with trauma patients because the severity of trauma varies for each person. The best policy is to explain throughly what the treatment process entails. It is important to assure the patient that they are in control and the treatment can be paused at any time. This approach is consistent with trauma informed psychotherapy. Such measures help patients feel more comfortable.        

Reiki works out on four levels: Mental, Emotional, Physical and Spritiual. It is an energy system that can release stuck,blocked and stagnant energy by developing an stimulating healthy, positive, pure energy to flow in its place which in turn activate and promote healing. Because the energy that is held in that space after the trauma occurs is of low vibration that blocks the flow of energy. After the blockages takes place in energy pathways, energy becomes heavier emotionally and phychologically. Healthy energy has to follow a different route to take so that human life is in the flow and moving. Reiki helps in to open and reset the healthy flow of energy  

Learning to accept yourself -inward and outward- is a first step of healing trauma. Therafter the healing journey starts. 

1. Focus on your breathing - Sit in a cross legged position and take deep slow breaths. Feel a brighr white light from your crown chakra and let the warmth surround make feel healthy, fresh and full of energy to prepare for the rest of healing session.

2. Meditate - Try to remember a time in your life from where you feel trauma stemmed from. It can be a memory, try to view it from the present day where you feel most comfortable.If the memory pressurise, take a glass of water. and be comfortable. 

3. Access inner thoughts - Use the Reiki symbol drawn to while thinking of all the time which you feel that you could have done better. Think of a time or age where you feel trauma stemmed from. Access your inner thoughts. 

4. Forgiveness - Forgive yourself from that hurt or situation that got pain to you. Focus on your heart chakra and say " I am bleessed and happy where I am today."Repeat this thrice. Envision a white light cleansing your mind and heart chakra.

5. Freeing yourself and let it go - Slowly try to come out of your meditative state and focus on the Reiki symbol as you feel drawn to. Don't be aftraid of taking small steps into improving your mindset ensuring that you live as best as you can. Despite the trauma faced always remember that there are better days ahead. Only you can heal yourself and know yourself the best. 

During Reiki sessions, as the deep seeded 'ki' energy is released, it may cause reactions like crying, changes in body temaprature, involuntary twitching and tingling. These reactions are signs of emotional release. There is no need to stop or control the release, especially when you are in a safe and supportive environment.           

As simple as Reiki practice is, it takes time to develop a feel for the practice, a deep understanding of Reiki healing. Do it consistently over a period of time to develop a feel for it.
