Trauma Responsive Specialist | Find Relief from Trauma Through Somatic Reiki Healing
Trauma can have a profound and long-lasting impact on our lives, affecting our emotional, mental, and physical well-being. While traditional therapies like talk therapy and medications are significant in treating trauma, they may not be effective solely by themselves, they do not resolve all the trauma, they help us deal with the symptoms. Pain and trauma are stored within the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic bodies, so it is essential to also address how to release this pain and trauma from the physical, mental, emotional and energetic bodies.
This is where Somatic Reiki comes in. Somatic Reiki is a gentle and non-invasive approach to healing trauma that combines the healing power of Reiki with somatic breathwork techniques. By releasing patterns of tension and stress held in the body, Somatic Reiki can help to promote emotional and physical healing and support overall well-being. In this blog post, we’ll explore how Somatic Reiki can help you find relief from trauma and promote healing in your life.
What is Somatic Reiki?
Somatic Reiki is a holistic healing practice that combines traditional Reiki energy healing with somatic techniques. Somatic techniques focus on the body’s physical sensations and emotions, helping individuals to recognize and release patterns of tension and stress that may be held in the body.
In a Somatic Reiki session, a practitioner may use gentle touch, visualization, and intention to help the recipient access the healing energy of Reiki. The practitioner may also guide the recipient through breathing exercises, meditation, or other somatic techniques to help them become more aware of their body’s sensations and release any blocked energy.
Somatic Reiki aims to support the body’s natural healing processes and promote a sense of deep relaxation and inner peace. It can be helpful for individuals experiencing physical or emotional pain, stress, anxiety, or other challenges.
Somatic Reiki is typically practiced in person, but it can also be done remotely, with the practitioner and recipient connecting through video conferencing or other technology. It is important to note that Somatic Reiki is not a substitute for medical or mental health treatment but can be a complementary practice to support overall wellness.
How does Somatic Reiki work?
Somatic Reiki works by combining the healing power of Reiki with somatic techniques to help individuals release patterns of tension and stress that may be held in the body. The practice is based on the belief that physical and emotional experiences and trauma are stored in the body and that these experiences and trauma can manifest as pain, illness, or other symptoms.
During a Somatic Reiki session, the practitioner works to channel the healing energy of Reiki to the recipient. The practitioner may use gentle or no touch, depending on the individual’s comfort level and preferences. The recipient is typically lying down or sitting comfortably and is encouraged to relax.
The practitioner may guide the recipient through breathing exercises, visualization, or other somatic techniques to help them become more aware of their body’s sensations and release any blocked energy. The goal is to create a safe and supportive environment for the recipient to connect with their body and emotions and to facilitate the body’s natural healing processes.
Somatic Reiki can be helpful for a wide range of physical and emotional challenges, including chronic pain, anxiousness, depressive state, trauma, and stress. It can also be beneficial for those seeking to deepen their spiritual practice or connect with their inner self.
