Can Reiki Help With Anxiety?
How can we help?
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a type of fear usually associated with the thought of a threat or something going wrong in the future, but can also arise from something happening right now.
Unnatural levels of anxiety may be related to blockages or disturbances in the individual’s energy pathways. Reiki seeks to unblock energy and restore normal flow in order to support the body’s ability to heal itself.
What is Reiki and How Does it Work?
Reiki originated in Japan in the 1800s. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese words “rei” (universal) and “ki” (life energy). It is a non-invasive treatment, using gentle yet powerful hands-on techniques.
During this complementary treatment, the practitioners place their hands on or just above different areas of the body. Working on many different energy levels, reiki is based on the principle that all living beings have energy fields that support their health and vitality. Reiki produces a deep cleansing effect on the mind, body, spirit and emotions.
Physical, mental and emotional illnesses can be as a result of our energy becoming blocked due to:-
- emotional or physical trauma
- a physical injury
- negative thoughts & feelings such as fear, worry, doubt, anger, anxiety
- lack of good nutrition
- lifestyle and/or relationships
- lack of love for yourself or others.
Like acupuncture and reflexology, reiki helps to release stuck energy, thereby allowing our body to activate its own natural ability to heal.
People who have had a reiki treatment have described it as deeply relaxing and have likened it to having 3-4 hours’ sleep.
Reiki is an excellent treatment to help you when facing physical, mental and emotional challenges.
Reiki is a treatment that you can have either in-person or as a Distant Reiki Session

Reiki for All-round Wellbeing
One simple and effective way to reduce stress and manage your stress levels is to invest in yourself with regular reiki sessions. When stress is managed effectively you are better able to deal calmly and with more clarity with situations that would have previously caused you to feel stressed or anxious.
This non-intrusive treatment is also great at helping you to manage physical and emotional symptoms such as aching muscles, menopause symptoms, headaches and anxiety.

Reiki – Wellbeing for Carers
Research carried out by CarersUK stated that 10.6 million people will become carers for older, sick or disabled loved ones in the next five years. They say that unless changes are made, unpaid carers will be left under-equipped to deal with the challenges of caring.
Incorporating wellbeing sessions that support the mental and emotional health of the unpaid carers is now an integral and vital part of the service provided by all Carer Trusts and similar organisations supporting people who are caring for family members. Reiki is a non-intrusive treatment that has been shown to help with this.
