How Reiki affects the body Part 1
Sorry guys! Iām out of town and havenāt had time to write. Reiki affects the body less like a medication and more like a nervous system reset. Think of it as shifting your body from stress mode into repair mode ā and a lot of physical changes flow from that. Hereās whatās happening physiologically and energetically. š§ Nervous system regulation Reiki activates your parasympathetic nervous system ā the ārest and digestā side. When this turns on: - heart rate slows - breathing deepens - muscles soften - cortisol (stress hormone) drops - blood pressure may decrease Your body moves out of fight-or-flight and into healing mode. This alone explains why people often feel warm, heavy, floaty, or deeply relaxed during a session. 𧬠Cellular repair & energy flow While Reiki isnāt mechanical like massage, practitioners believe it improves biofield coherence ā the energetic field surrounding and interpenetrating the body. From a body perspective, relaxation triggers: ⢠improved circulation ⢠better oxygen delivery to tissues ⢠reduced inflammation signals ⢠enhanced immune response ⢠more efficient cellular repair Stress blocks healing. When Reiki lowers stress, the body can finally do what it already knows how to do: restore balance.
