Can Reiki Help Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? – Reiki Galore

When we look back upon our past, it is easy to see the advances we have made in the world of medicine. Our ancestors, even two centuries ago, would be envious of the medicines and treatments available to us. And yet, in spite of this, we humans are suffering as much as (if not more than) our ancestors ever did.

A great deal of this is a result of our lifestyle choices and circumstances, some of which are beyond our control.

Also, although doctors and scientists have a better understanding of the human body, they still do not hold all the answers. Our bodies face a wide range of health-related issues throughout our lives. Many of these continue to remain a mystery to medical science and may remain so for the foreseeable future.

It is no surprise, then, that more people are turning to complementary or alternative methods, including reiki, for a cure.

And among the many health problems being treated, people are using reiki to bring relief from the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

What Is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

To keep it simple, the medical world generally splits problems into four basic main categories:

these affect regular bodily function or structure

functional abnormalities due to internal/external influences

something that interferes with the normal feeling of wellbeing

a variety of signs or symptoms associated with one health-related cause

This last category is often viewed as the least understood of the four. Science knows that the problem exists, and may offer treatment. But the cause is nearly always unknown. And this makes it harder to find a cure.

It is estimated that as many as twenty-four million people around the world suffer from CFS. The real figure could in fact be far higher. And the vast majority of those who experience this syndrome will never be diagnosed.

Diagnosing CFS – which is also known as ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) – is notoriously difficult. Many other possibilities need to be explored and ruled out beforehand, which is frustrating for the patient. Mental health, sleep disorders, diabetes, heart & lung problems – all of these (and many more) can cause fatigue, which adds to the problem of diagnoses.

It is a long-term illness that can affect any age and presents itself, as the name implies, as extreme fatigue. This is often accompanied by other symptoms, but each patient’s experience is different. Many sufferers manage their symptoms and are able to live fairly normal lives.

Others are not so fortunate, sadly being afflicted to the extent that it becomes a real disability.

At this time, there is no cure for this syndrome. Treatment is focused completely on the symptoms.

How Does Reiki Help With Chronic Fatigue?

Chronic fatigue (or ME) along with Fibromyalgia and other illnesses present a range of very similar symptoms. These can be debilitating, uncomfortable, and hugely unpleasant. They affect the body and the mind, bringing pain, lethargy, exhaustion, and confusion.

And that is why reiki offers a perfect way of treating them. Unlike conventional medicine, Reiki treats the whole body, as well as the mind and the spirit.

It is painless, gentle, and, best of all, non-invasive. The last thing you need is more stress from surgery or side effects from powerful drugs. These frequently bring their own set of problems.

With neurological issues (those affecting the nervous system) such as CFS/ME, you need a way of restoring the body’s balance. Stress is a common factor – and even a cause of – many illnesses. It is self-perpetuating, as you become more stressed due to the symptoms you are suffering from.

Although stress is a natural part of life, our bodies are designed for short term bursts. We live in two basic states; Fight or Flight, and Rest and Digest.

In these states, different hormones are released which help us to react to our circumstances and environment. The thing is, we often become accustomed to living in fight or flight mode. And over time this damages the body, contributing to many diseases, disorders, conditions, and syndromes.

Reiki sessions seek to bring deep relaxation of the mind and body, which immediately lowers stress levels. This allows our body to return to its natural state of resting and digesting. By removing emotional…
