Reiki-Natural Pain Management in Colorado Springs
How does Reiki help manage pain naturally?
Reiki is a gentle and safe Japanese healing system delivered through energy that can help with pain management along with many other issues. Rei means "Universal Spirit" and Ki means "Life Force or Energy". Reiki is given while fully dressed except for your shoes (better to not wear any jewelry). Reiki can be given hands-off or with a light touch, this will be up to you. Energy knows no time and space, so you can also recieve distant reiki from your own home. The energy does not come from me but rather through me. I’m simply the vessel in which the energy travels. Reiki goes where it needs to in your body, but if you share with me what specific issues you want to work on, we can ask for that during your session. It has been proven that there is energy in everything. I draw my energy from mountains, water, rocks, and animals. It comes from the stars, the moon, trees and the sun. It is Life Force Energy. The session lasts about an hour.
We have 7 "main" chakras in our body that run along our spine. Chakras are energy centers in our bodies. These energy centers are not made up, they have been seen by scientist. When your chakras are blocked, energy does not flow freely through the body. This can cause all kinds of mental and physical issues. When your energy moves freely, harmony exists with the physical body, mind, and spirit.
Imagine a pool of stagnant water. It would be dark in color, have no energy, full of bugs and algae. It would be unhealthy! Imagine a mountian stream, moving swiftly down a mountain. It would be clear, with lots of energy. No algae, no bugs. It would be healthy! Picture your energy centers (chakras) in your body. Would you rather have the stagnant pool or the running stream? The reiki energy allows you to have that moving stream within you.

Sometimes, people don’t feel much at all, but rest assured you have still received the energy. You might see or feel the effects days later.
Whatever you feel is okay; there can be no wrong here. Like anything, the more you allow yourself to relax and take in the experience, the more you will get out of it.
Self-care is so important, and most of us don’t take the time to do this. When we are balanced and feel good, we can live our lives to the fullest. When we feel good, we are better for the people around us. Think about taking an hour out of your day; the gift you get in return can be amazing.
