How Reiki Can Heal and Harmonize Our Children

By OMTimes Staff

Learn how to set healthy boundaries that balance life in four easy steps to help us thrive and progress!

Our self-care comes in many forms and shapes. On certain days it may be yoga, working out, eating healthy, and on other days it could mean resting, laughing with friends, or finding time to enjoy the good things in this life. What we define as self-care varies from person to person, which makes it all the more essential when we need to uphold our boundaries for our own needs. We cannot expect people to read our minds. It’s our responsibility to take care of ourselves, peace, and happiness first. Taking time for ourselves is not a selfish act and is essential to thriving in a busy world.

Reiki as a form of healing and wellbeing is not as widespread as an alternative therapy as it should be, although it is recognized by the World Health Organization as an effective auxiliary healing method. However, what becomes even less known and practiced is the specific beneficial effects of Reiki on children. This energy treatment can improve the lives of children and parents.

Our emotional body, or astral body (In Esoteric Knowledge), is an extremely sensitive body that works almost together with our mental body (thoughts). Therefore, everything that happens in our emotions, or almost everything, has to be passed through our thinking. This way, we can organize ourselves mentally to remember to think when there is a conflict.

However, our brain is often already programmed to act without thinking. It is precisely for this reason that we need to invent something creative so that when moments of conflict arrive, we remember to be in the present moment and learn how to be proactive and not reactive.

IS REIKI TREATMENT RIGHT FOR CHILDREN?

Reiki is not as widespread as other eastern techniques such as Shiatsu and acupuncture. Even less is the public awareness of the power of this technique as a therapy for children and babies.

Like adults, children are subject to stimuli of all kinds, which interfere with behavior and health, both physical and mental.

The relationship with parents and friends and the new experiences lived daily. The most diverse traumas can produce clinical and psychic conditions that lead the little ones to present symptoms such as difficulty sleeping at night, irritability, hyperactivity, anxiety, fears, and insecurity.

Such a picture can compromise several aspects of the lives of the little ones, such as learning, coexistence, and physical health, without the parents identifying the triggering factors of these problems.

By promoting energy rebalancing with a Reiki Treatment, the child is expected to develop a new perception of things, which will help him or her to have a healthier and more harmonious life, growth, and relationship with the environment.

The Benefits Of Reiki For Children

It could be an unexplained cause, a personality trait, or an experienced trauma. Those little ones are extremely susceptible to external stimuli and develop fears, insecurities, anxieties, and even physical conditions that make it difficult for parents to find the cause. This is where Reiki works to help them.

Among the benefits of reiki therapy in children and adolescents, one can observe an increase in calm and emotional balance; more concentration on school tasks; energy to face every daily challenge; improvement in mood; encouragement of social interaction; introduction of a healthier and more positive lifestyle; improving aspects such as self-esteem and selfconfidence; increased feelings of gratitude and satisfaction.

In addition to this infinity of emotional, mental, and spiritual resolutions, Reiki in children favors the clinical treatment of children with some medical disorders.

The technique is also suitable for strengthening and developing the body's defenses.

Therefore, if your child is irritable, has difficulty sleeping at night, or is insecure or hyperactive, introducing him to reiki sessions will make a difference in his behavior, learning, and how he sees and lives life.

After all, in addition to the benefits, children may develop healthier eating habits, further improving balance and emotional intelligence.

ARE THERE CONTRAINDICATIONS?

the contrary, applying reiki techniques to children is free of contraindications, as is the case with adults and even animals. Incidentally, the therapy can even be applied to pregnant women to transmit the energy to the baby without harming both.

The only issue is related to the child's restlessness, especially when it comes to babies and ages under 5 years. Usually, children sleep during the session, but in this age group, parents usually need help to start therapy or wait for a moment when the child is calm and relaxed.

The most interesting thing is that the children's parents can learn this technique and start treating their children at home. In this way, Reiki is no longer associated with an obligation to go to the treatment space, making transmitting energies much closer, more frequent, and more effective.

The energy rebalancing provided by the therapy triggers benefits such as:

• Restoration of emotional balance and awakening of a more peaceful and peaceful temperament;

• Greater concentration, which benefits learning performance;

• In creased energy for everyday activities, such as studying and playing;

• Greater capacity for social interaction;

• In creased self-confidence and selfesteem;

• Improved mood and perception of well-being;

• Awakening from the feeling of gratitude.

• Parents should be encouraged to learn the technique. The main reason is that the treatment application is not so simple with the little ones due to their natural restlessness.

The benefits to children observed after Reiki sessions are quite similar to those observed in adults.

Since the parents live directly with the little ones, they may find key moments for the continuous application of the technique. Not to mention that learning Reiki will benefit parents themselves in their ability to deal with their lives and their children.
