Reiki and | during Pregnancy

Reiki can be received at any time during pregnancy – it only ever does good. It can also be used prior to conception to increase fertility in both men and women by removing blockages.  Pregnant women and their unborn babies can both benefit from Reiki’s gentle and balancing energies. The reiki energies heal and calm anxieties which are often associated with pregnancy and pending motherhood. I am honored to have been part of many women’s pregnancy and administer reiki during this intimate time of life. Each of them went on to have calm and relaxed babies. Reiki strengthens the bond between mother and baby. Babies love reiki and respond well to the reiki energy. Whenever I administer reiki to a pregnant mother the baby inside the womb always moves towards my hand to suck up the reiki energy. It is always a joy for both myself and mother to feel the baby gravitate towards the hands and the reiki energy. Such a loving , caring environment and very relaxing for both mum and baby. Mothers feel more connected to their babies when they have reiki during pregnancy. Reiki treatment can help expectant mothers reduce stress and remain more grounded emotionally while they anticipate the birth of their baby.

Reiki treatment can also provides a non-invasive comfort measure, helping to relieve pain from contractions and reduce anxiety during labor.  The use of Reiki treatment may help reduce or eliminate the need for an epidural or other pharmaceutical pain relief.  Spouses, partners, doulas and other childbirth professionals trained in Reiki practice can be a valuable source of support for laboring women. I myself used reiki while laboring with my daughter Hannah.

Reiki treatment is also helpful for post-partum recovery.  Women’s bodies undergo tremendous change to support the new life growing inside them; it takes a while for the body’s organs and processes to return to a normal non-pregnancy state.  Healing is still occurring inside a mother’s body after her baby is born, even after an easy or uncomplicated birth. Reiki treatment can help new mothers maintain well-being and emotional balance during those first weeks of adjustment.  This is especially important for the percentage of women who may experience post-partum depression.

For those women who had a difficult labor, or a cesarean birth, Reiki treatment can help facilitate healing on physical and emotional levels.  Clinical studies of Reiki treatment are demonstrating benefits for reducing anxiety and pain levels.  Women recovering from surgery or birth trauma can benefit from this additional source of compassionate, palliative support. The medications used to relieve post-surgical pain often have unpleasant side effects, and the discomfort from the incision can make it difficult for women to hold or breastfeed their babies.  Reiki treatment supports the physical healing process, enabling women to get back on their feet sooner.

I do know that “Reiki Babies respond well to the world around them differently than other babies. They are calmer and more sensitive. My own daughter Hannah is a “Reiki Baby” and she is naturally loving, caring, sensitive and confident. A joy to behold.

The greatest gift you could give your unborn child is the gift of reiki.
