Reiki & Weight Loss

Reiki is an ancient Japanese form of spiritual healing based on an unseen "life force energy" that flows through all of us and promotes wellness of the mind, body and spirit. Reiki is administered by using the hands to direct and channel the patient's natural balance of energy to heal itself. Now, this balancing of universal life energy is being used to help promote weight loss and better health.

  1. Benefits

    • Redirecting a patient's energy brings relief to many ailments---whether emotional, physical or spiritual. Many patients use Reiki for stress reduction and relaxation, better sleep, relieving chronic health problems and pain, breaking the cycles of addictions, cleansing the body of harmful toxins and relieving the terrible side effects of drug therapy used in cancer treatment. Now, using Reiki to promote weight loss is finding popularity---and success.

    How it Helps

    • The variety of ways that Reiki can help a weight loss patient covers everything from start to finish. Reiki can help suppress the appetite as well as discourage unhealthy eating habits. Reiki will end cravings for the wrong foods, helping you make healthier eating choices. You will also become more aware of overall nutritional needs, strengthen your willpower and enhance the body's organs to process food better.

      Reiki also works to help ease the mind and spirit---which can become broken or strained when trying to lose weight. Deep relaxation and stress relief can help a person stay focused and motivated.

    Reiki and Diet Proportion Control

    • After you've decided to do something about weight loss, diet is the first step towards your goal. You need a menu of well-balanced and nutritious foods that also limits your calorie and fat intake. Depending on your tastes and choice of diet plans, this can range from fruits and vegetables to more proteins and less carbohydrates. Reiki can be used to not only help you stay on your diet of choice, it can also help you feel healthier and change your outlook on foods altogether.

    How Reiki Impacts Exercise

    • After you decide on a diet you can live with, you must get active to help your body burn calories and tone and build muscle. An exercise program should have a healthy balance of cardio and strength training in order for you to see results faster. Applying Reiki, along with Yoga, can help your body adjust faster and build metabolism to help you reach your weight loss goals.

    Does It Help?

    • Keeping the mind focused is critical to weight loss success. The spirit also plays a huge role in this process because you need to channel positive energy to motivate you towards success.

      Reiki can help you feel more self-confident to see your weight loss dreams come true. Please remember, before starting any exercise or diet program, consult with your doctor.
