Pregnancy, for most, is a life altering experience that brings about tremendous transformations in a person. These transformations span one’s emotional, physical and psychological states and binds a woman with her bundle of joy through ties of unconditional love, and abundant care and nurture. This journey of pregnancy is often riddled with anxiety, physical and physiological discomfort, insecurities and fears. Since medicines, our ailment-alleviating remedies, can potentially cross the blood-brain barrier and cause irreversible damage to the growing fetus, doctors refrain from prescribing them to pregnant women. Reiki, on the other hand, has been known to provide support beyond the physical and emotional relief, and bring a sense of positivity, stability and strength to both, the mother and the unborn child.
Reiki is a Japanese technique that reduces stress and relaxes one’s body and mind, thereby promoting healing. It relies on the principle in which a healer channels the unseen life-force energy within him by the means of touch to drive the natural healing mechanism within a patient. In a nutshell, Reiki is a spiritually guided life-force energy.
As a practice, Reiki is holistic and considers the entire individual – the body, mind and the unborn child – as one. As an alternative form of therapy, Reiki has demonstrated many positive outcomes, especially during pregnancy, when it is focused on the heart, abdomen and the solar plexus. Right from conception up to birth, this natural and safe healing practice restores the mind, body, spirit and emotions with health and happiness.
Let us list down some pronounced and many veiled benefits of Reiki during pregnancy:
While Reiki is given to a pregnant woman by practitioners and Reiki masters, pregnant women can be attuned by their masters to be able to use it on themselves. A self-session of Reiki, especially during pregnancy, is smaller than the one given generally. It must last not more than 30-40 minutes as opposed to the regular 50-60 minutes. Also, the trimester determines the position – lying down, seated or lying on the side. The right position of the palm of your hands will help you experience the effects better.
Women generally feel completely out of control of their own bodies during pregnancy. They also get intimidated with the innumerable changes taking place in their bodies, and it is at such times that the healing and calming power of Reiki comes to their rescue. Reiki provides an anchor to pregnant women that makes them feel in control of the situation and keeps them firmly rooted to the ground, no matter what surprises await them.
