Reiki for Anxiety & Depression
Reiki can be particularly helpful for anxiety and depression due to its ability to address the underlying energetic imbalances that often contribute to these conditions. Anxiety and depression can be associated with disruptions in a person’s energy flow or “ki,” which Reiki aims to rebalance. By channeling universal life force energy, Reiki practitioners work to clear blockages and restore harmony to the recipient’s energy field. This, in turn, can promote a profound sense of relaxation, reduce stress, and alleviate the emotional and physical symptoms associated with anxiety and depression.
Reiki sessions provide a safe and nurturing space for individuals to release pent-up emotions, facilitating emotional healing and fostering a greater sense of inner peace and well-being. While Reiki is not a replacement for medical or psychological treatments, it can complement these approaches and offer a holistic means of addressing the energetic aspects of anxiety and depression, ultimately supporting the individual’s overall mental and emotional health.
What Can I Expect In a Session?
The session starts with a friendly and open consultation where you can choose to share as much or as little about what brought you into the session as you like. Struggling with anxiety and/or depression is nothing to be ashamed of – but no one should suffer, and symptoms should be discussed with a mental health professional. Reiki can serve as a wonderful and beneficial practice for patients suffering from anxiety and/or depression when used in conjunction with traditional therapies, but should not be depended on as a sole or primary method of treatment for any mental health condition diagnosed by a professional.

Benefits of Anxiety & Depression Reiki
Better sense of overall mental and physical balance.
Reiki is relaxing. Depression is often accompanied by anxiety however the relaxing nature of Reiki can help combat this anxiety. As one’s anxiety is relieved, his or her depression may improve as well.
Reiki puts you back in control. Many people who are depressed feel like they are not in control of their own lives. When a client participates in Reiki, he or she is doing something proactive, thus restoring some feeling of control.
Reiki allows you to connect with another person. One of the most common symptoms of depression involves withdrawing from friends and family or feeling disconnected from others. Reiki provides depressed clients with the opportunity to connect with a caring, compassionate practitioner, which may improve symptoms.
Reiki relieves stress. Stress can contribute to the development of depression, and ongoing stress can also worsen a depressed person’s symptoms. Reiki may help to relieve some of a client’s stress, which may in turn reduce the symptoms of depression.

What are Chakras?
When the body is perfectly balanced the 7 Chakras give you exactly the right amount of energy in each area. In this day and age there are so many variables that could throw you off. A few examples include pollution, the environment, work, home life, spouse, kids, death, having a baby, any type of stress, sickness and so on.
Since everything in the Universe is made of energy it makes sense that the human body needs to be balanced in energy itself. The strong suggestion would be to balance your Chakras at least 4 times a year, coordinating with each different season as it changes. It’s like house keeping for your body.
