Experiencing Pain
Everyone encounters periods of grief and severe disappointments in life. But unless we have developed a healthy way of approaching these feelings, we tend to hide from them.
The truth is we are afraid of the dark thoughts that haunt us during these moments of vulnerability. This can, unfortunately, lead to some serious complications in the body and mind.
Grief specifically can be a troublesome foe to conquer. It can block us from clearly seeing reality and seizing opportunities. Instead, this negative emotion seizes our body, afflicting our organs and damaging our physical and mental health.
What is Grief?
In general, we react when we experience any loss. This can be as trivial as spilling coffee on the kitchen table, or as harsh as losing a loved one in an accident. That reaction has a physical, emotional, and energetic influence on our body.
We feel it as a yank at our diaphragm, a tight knot in our stomach, or a lack of energy during the day, and the reaction varies in force depending on the pain we encountered.
Grief, an intense reaction, is hard to let pass because it’s different from depression. Whereas a depressed person is almost completely muted to most emotions, those who are grieving can still access their emotional highs.
It’s hard to manage especially because of how easy it is to suppress under other emotions and distracting behaviors.
Part of the problem is that many people are not taught how to deal with these feelings. Parents may encourage their children to hide them because sadness is “negative,” or to shield them from grim reality, or any other reason.
Movies and television programs depict characters that mask their pain through a number of amusements. But repressing such an intense emotion has been proven to cause various maladies to the human body.
How Reiki Can Help With Grief
The connection between emotion and energy is undeniable. Therefore it makes sense that we can turn to an energetic solution to help resolve the issue. Reiki reduces stress and promotes relaxation. It works on mildly stabilizing the energy flow throughout the body to negate solidification in the energetic channels.
This, in turn, decreases sensations of pain and muscle tension, improves sleep, and assists in repairing the immune system. Most importantly it improves the mood and reduces anxiety, depression, and negative personality traits.
Reiki is clinically proven to be effective for chronically ill patients. A study in 1998 by Lind J. Dressen and Sangeeta Singh showed how effective it is in practice. Out of four groups, the one exposed to ten biweekly reiki sessions outperformed all the other groups in improvements upon personality, temperament, and feelings of providence.
The results of the study showed that reiki patients had more self-esteem and a realistic sense of control over their lives. They felt empowered and more optimistic.
In fact, the results far surpassed those from progressive muscle relaxation, a widely accepted treatment for physical and mental relaxation, and a placebo group, which only involved laying of hands to show there is more than just presentation at work.
Dressen et co. concluded that reiki “is an effective modality for reduction of pain, depression and state anxiety in chronically ill patients.”
A trained professional can help a grieving patient realize the joy in life again. The process works gently with the energetic component of the human body to support healing at a very direct level. Those suffering from chronic misery can find relief by circulating their pent up energy and bringing their inner dynamo back to life.
