Reiki to Heal Child Abuse

Reiki can be a powerful way to help a person heal from child abuse. Reiki is sort of like having a spiritual massage, but the power of Reiki runs much deeper. By setting an intention before each Reiki session, a person can direct energy toward the areas that need healing. Also, it is possible to track your healing from child abuse through Reiki sessions. Reiki is also a great way to help heal a person who has difficulty with being touched because no physical contact is required in order to receive Reiki. Here is how to heal from child abuse through Reiki.

Understand what Reiki is. Reiki is a Japanese technique to relieve stress as well as promote relaxation and healing. It is like having a spiritual massage. A Reiki master places his hands either on or near your body to channel energy into your spirit. Reiki is never harmful. Reiki is simply a flow of positive energy that has the power to heal a person’s physical, emotional or spiritual wounds.

Find a Reiki master. You will be working closely with your Reiki master, so try to find one that you trust. If you were abused by one gender, consider finding a Reiki master of the opposite gender. Ask yourself if you can consider opening up to this person about your healing journey.

Set boundaries for where you want to be touched. Reiki does not have to involve touching because the Reiki master is connecting with your aura, which is around your body. However, some Reiki masters will touch your body lightly in various (non-private) places throughout the session. If you do not want to be touched in certain places, tell your Reiki master ahead of time.

Talk to the Reiki master about your issues. If you feel comfortable doing so, tell your Reiki master about your history of child abuse. This will enable your Reiki master to offer suggestions for intentions and might even help the Reiki master to track your healing progress.

Decide upon an intention for each session. Reiki is a flow of healing energy, and that healing energy can go many places. Decide where you want it to go (your “intention”) before each session. For example, do you want to let go of past hurts or anger? Do you want to feel present in your body? If you cannot decide, your intention can always be “for my greatest good.”

Notice where you feel the energy working. Many child abuse survivors do not live in their bodies. Some child abuse survivors will only feel the healing energy in the head or feet rather than throughout the entire body. If you have parts of yourself that feel “cold” or do not feel as if they are being affected by the healing energy, this might indicate that you still have a lot of healing work to do. As you continue to heal, those “frozen” parts will “thaw,” and you will feel the Reiki energy flowing throughout every part of your body.

Listen to what the Reiki master tells you. Sometimes the Reiki master might “see” things that speak to you. For example, he might “see” a little child curled up in a ball looking frightened. This might be your inner child needing your love and attention. Or the Reiki master might feel a lot of heat generating from your liver. This could be a sign of your need to work on processing anger.

Go to multiple sessions. Reiki is not going to be able to heal all of your spiritual wounds in one session. However, with repeated sessions, you will be able to heal on deeper and deeper levels.

Abundant love !

Jai Sai Ram!
