By allowing yourself to fill with the wonderful calmness of reiki healing, you are already opening the door to a more calm state of mind, which helps you to deal with grief. But, whilst receiving reiki, you’ll feel a wave of calmness wash over you and as you relax, you’ll be more open to the emotions which you’ve been bottling down deep inside.

In allowing these feelings to surface and float free during your reiki healing session, you’re unlocking your potential to move through the seven stages of grief faster. Imagine if you have to run the 100 metres straight, or if you’re doing it over hurdles. Which will be your quickest speed? It’ll be the straight run without the hurdles. This is the emotional equivalent of what reiki can do for you if you open your heart and allow the energy to channel through you.
At the end of a reiki for grief session you’ll feel lighter and like we have freed you from a burden. You won’t forget your loved one, and you won’t be ‘fixed’ but every reiki session is one incremental step forward to feeling more healed.

Energy flows through a Reiki practitioner’s hands to the person who needs it, you, our client enhancing our ability to heal naturally and providing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual relief.
As we discussed in the question above, the healing power of reiki on grief is potentially enormous.

Receiving Reiki when you’re dealing with the effects of grief help you in taking care of yourself. This can be physically, spiritually and emotionally. Being more balanced and relaxed when we’re grieving helps us to locate that tranquil sense of calm which can help us to not rush into a despair at our crushing loss.

Reiki also clears the buzz and/ or fog in our brains, helping us to think clearly. And that helps us to sleep better.

Don’t be under any illusion though. Reiki healing isn’t a one off miracle cure. It won’t magically eradicate our sadness and grief. But it makes it much easier to cope with grief’s difficulties. Plus, enjoying that sense of calm and balance helps give us the courage and stamina to tackle head on our journey through grief.

As with all living beings, humans are balls of energy. And like a plug socket which also operates on energy. When our energy paths block or get disturbed, as they often are when we’re living through the fog of grief, the result can be illness, weakness, and pain.

Reiki frees these blockages so our energy paths are free, which then allows our body to balance and strengthen. This may decrease pain, ease muscle tension, improve our sleep, and enhance our body’s ability to heal.
