Meditation is a valuable tool for relaxation and stress reduction. Learning to meditate
teaches you how to calm your mind and your body as it further empowers you allowing you more control
over your body. It does not require any special equipment or complicated techniques. Meditation is for everyone.
When Reiki is combined with meditation the body is better enabled to heal itself
mentally, physically and spiritually.
Meditation and Reiki
have shown positive results for:
- lowering blood pressure
- relieving
stress and pain
- increasing focus
- decreasing anxiety
- improving sleep
- improving clarity of mind
If you are about to have a Reiki session it will enhance your results if you allow a few minutes to meditate
before you meet with your practitioner or meditate while receiving Reiki. Remember, it does not require any specific
time guideline or posture to simply quiet your mind and just be; with practice you will find yourself meditating naturally
for longer periods each time.
It is suggested that you try to meditate each day at
the same time and in the same quiet spot. Don't give up if at first it seems that surfacing thoughts are preventing
you from relaxing - just let them come and go while you just breath slowly with your eyes closed. Even as little as
five minutes of being still allows your mind, body and spirit to relax.
