Hands that heal ~Energy work and your child

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

Have you been fortunate enough to have received a reiki treatment? The sense of calm, the amazing floating sensation, the overall openness of your chakras give you the most amazing sense of peace and relief from every day ailments.

Reiki energy balances your 7 chakras

I first experienced reiki from a co-worker over a decade ago. I had insomnia, hadn't slept a full night in weeks. She laid her hands on the top of my head for a few moments and then she laid them on my shoulders. I instantly felt as if I was transformed into a new person. I went home and slept for 14 hours! I was hooked, I was a believer, I had been healed.
Reiki has been a part of my life ever since that day. In fact, I have been practicing reiki now coming up on 10 years and have achieved the Master level of training. I have done reiki on many, many people. Some people were very sick and dying, reiki gave them comfort from pain and sadness, it took them to a place of hope and happiness. Some people had headaches, fatigue, nightmares, some had anxiety, depression, low self-esteem . Some people just really liked reiki and didn't have any obvious physical or emotional needs. All of these people were seeking the security and warmth of the reiki energy...and the healing hands that deliver it.
Reiki and kids are like two peas-in-a-pod. Children have no preconcieved notions about what they should or shouldn't believe when it comes to energy-work or anything metaphysical for that matter. This makes them great vessels and we can learn from them and heal them with energy!

You don't need to be a certified reiki practitioner to work with energy, you just have to focus.
Get yourself nice and grounded. Visualizations work well...picture roots from a tree growing out of your feet and planting you into the ground.
Rub your hands together gently a couple of times and place them on or just above your child (if you want to work on your child as a whole, stand a few feet away, if you want to focus on something then you can be inches away, I prefer direct contact for specific areas).
Soften your hands and imagine that the energy from the universe is channeling through you...into your hands and into your child. Feel the energy softly surging through your being...you are receiving a treatment, too!
When you are done it would be nice if you would smooth over your child's aura , the space all around their body. And then do the same for yourself. I like to physically wipe down my hands, arms and the front of my body, with a quick brush-down movement with my hands.
If your child is still awake, you can ask them how it felt and see if they have anything to say about it!

Kids are so inspiring to me when it comes to love, healing and their unadulterated natural sense of communication. I once did reiki on my little cousin, who was just under two years old at the time. She looked up at me and said, "Jessa has a rainbow..." she was seeing my aura ...I immediately asked her where it was..., "rainbow on your head." That was an immensely important moment in my reiki journey. Not that I needed validation...it helped me see what a special time childhood is and at that moment I wished I was two years old. Children have the gift of openness...why not tap into it before it fades away?
