But it&#8217;s much more than a popular notion of wholeness.<\/p>\n<p>Our lives encompass so much. Our bodies, our relationships, our environment, and our relationship to humanity as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Living holistically means living life with a purpose. But not only a purpose born in your own selfish interests, but in care of all those around you.<\/p>\n<p>But before you can care for those around you, you have to heal your own self.<\/p>\n<p>This is where holistic Reiki healing comes in. It&#8217;s the foundation of living a holistic lifestyle. But what are the true benefits of Reiki\u00a0healing? Let&#8217;s find out together.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Reiki Healing?<\/h2>\n<p>You may or may not understand the idea of life force energy. It&#8217;s the energy that surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the universe together.<\/p>\n<p>And when you increase this life force within yourself, you promote relaxation. Relaxation leads to peace, and peace leads to a reduction of stress.<\/p>\n<p>Reiki healing increases this life force within you.<\/p>\n<p>Any Reiki healing practitioner can transfer this life force energy to you. They use their hands.<\/p>\n<p>When they place their hands lightly on your body or near your body, this energy flows from the practitioner into you.<\/p>\n<p>The patient often reports a sense of wellbeing and relaxation. Mental clarity, decreased anxiety are often added effect.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we understand how Reiki healing works, let&#8217;s look at the real benefits available.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Improves Metabolic Syndrome Conditions<\/h2>\n<p>When someone presents a cluster of symptoms\u00a0indicating multiple metabolic disorders, this is called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/HEARTORG\/Conditions\/More\/MetabolicSyndrome\/About-Metabolic-Syndrome_UCM_301920_Article.jsp\">Metabolic Syndrom<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This syndrome increases chances for future cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s highly important you do everything you can to take care of your heart when presented with these symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, physical activity is the best way you can improve your outcome. But going to a Reiki healing practitioner is a great way too.<\/p>\n<p>Taking care of your heart means reducing your stress. And Reiki <a href=\"https:\/\/healthpsych.psy.vanderbilt.edu\/2009\/Reiki.htm\">has been shown<\/a> to decrease stress levels during and after a treatment.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a non-invasive therapy as an alternative to physical exercise, Reiki is a valid alternative.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s economical as well.<\/p>\n<p>This is a great therapy for those who cannot be mobile and on their feet. It&#8217;s a therapy that demands nothing of the patient except acceptance.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Decreases Inflammation<\/h2>\n<p>Did you know that stress can directly cause inflammation?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2013\/11\/07\/chronic-stress-health-inflammation-genes_n_4226420.html\">Researchers found<\/a> that stress in mice reduced their bone marrow and increased inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>But inflammation is a protective response and isn&#8217;t always a bad thing. But if it&#8217;s acute it will damage your body.<\/p>\n<p>Reiki healing is, of course, known to decrease stress in the body. It also decreases chronic inflammation related to a disease.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen Reiki drop fevers and reverse hypertensive patients in the ER. It may seem like a miracle, but holistic healing is a real practice helping people all over the world.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Manages Cancer Symptoms<\/h2>\n<p>While I can&#8217;t claim I&#8217;ve found a cure for cancer, I can claim Reiki healing manages cancer and cancer treatment symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen <a href=\"http:\/\/www.psychicsdirectory.com\/self-healing.html\">Reiki treat symptoms<\/a> such as pain, depression, and fatigue.<\/p>\n<p>Some people try to manage cancer treatment symptoms with drugs. But there is an alternative to cancer symptom management through drugs.<\/p>\n<p>The symptoms related to cancer treatment are stressful. They take all the energy out of you.<\/p>\n<p>With Reiki, you can regain the energy lost through cancer treatment. You&#8217;ll regain a sense of purpose during your fight as well.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re experiencing migraines, arthritis, sciatica or any other symptoms, it&#8217;s totally possible to find relief through a Reiki practitioner.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Decreases Muscle Pain and Increases Mobility<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re experiencing chronic pain in specific areas of your body, you might want to consider seeing a Reiki practitioner.<\/p>\n<p>In cases where the pain is decreasing your mobility, you might find relief through Reiki.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen evidence that the healing energy of Reiki can increase range of motion when combined with physical therapy.<\/p>\n<p>When you enter into a Reiki treatment, you will find that every muscle in your body relaxes.<\/p>\n<p>As your body relaxes, your muscles and joints re-align and you induce a state of calm.<\/p>\n<p>Tense muscles release and any tension on your joints go away.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Gives Clarity in Both Your Spiritual and Emotional Life<\/h2>\n<p>When I talk holistic healing, I mean every aspect of your being.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve talked a lot about physical healing. But I&#8217;ve talked very little about spiritual and emotional healing.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to increase your ability to love other humans and enhance your empathy, Reiki can heal that part of yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Through Reiki, you can strengthen your ability to relate on an\u00a0emotional level with other people. Your relationships will improve. And you will find peace and harmony within your environment.<\/p>\n<h2>6. It Elevates Your Mood<\/h2>\n<p>Depression and anxiety are real things. They plague millions of people every day.<\/p>\n<p>But there is relief in sight.<\/p>\n<p>With Reiki healing, you can find the light again. The practitioner can act as your lifesaver.<\/p>\n<p>They can pull you out of a dark place and give you the energy to live life again.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen this happen first hand. People who were experiencing extreme anxiety finally finding peace again.<\/p>\n<p>With depression and anxiety comes anger and confusion. Re-aligning your mind with a rightful purpose will diminish these emotions.<\/p>\n<p>Reiki will replace these emotions with a sense of calm and oneness.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll find yourself filled with vigor and a positive outlook on life.<\/p>\n<h2>Reducing Stress Through Reiki Has Other Benefits<\/h2>\n<p>I could write a book about what Reiki does for your mind, body, and soul.<\/p>\n<p>But, as I mentioned before, the most redolent aspect of Reiki is stress reduction.<\/p>\n<p>And stress reduction ties into so many areas of health.<\/p>\n<p>Eating disorders, mood disorders, and sexual problems can all result directly from stress.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to know how to reduce stress through Reiki in your life? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.psychicsdirectory.com\/learn-reiki.html\">Learn more about Reiki here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The word holistic is rapidly becoming a vapid buzzword.
