You feel like you’ve tried everything: meditation, over the counter sleep aids, snuggling with your pet – yet nothing seems to be working for an uninterrupted slumber. But what if we told you there was another method of improving your quality of sleep? Enter Reiki: the centuries-old healing practice that could give the deep rest you have been searching for. Taking care of our bodies starts with getting enough restorative sleep each and every night—so why not give reiki a try and see how it can help reignite a feeling of ease and comfort back into bedtime so that entering dreamland feels effortless again?

1. Intro to Reiki and its benefits for better sleep:

Reiki is a form of energy healing that utilizes the hands to transmit life force energy, or ‘ki’, from one person (the practitioner) to another. Reiki works on all levels—physical, mental and emotional—allowing for improved overall wellbeing in many areas of life. The practice has been known to help support the body’s natural healing processes and increase relaxation. These two reasons alone make reiki a great potential tool for getting better sleep.

2. How Reiki works on a physical level for deeper relaxation :

The physical benefits of reiki can be felt on a deep level when it comes to getting better sleep. Reiki is believed to help balance the body’s energy, improving circulation and reducing stress hormones such as cortisol, which can keep us up at night if they’re running rampant in our systems. The calming effects of reiki also allow for further relaxation into the body, allowing for deeper sleep than before.

3. How Reiki can help you clear your mind and center yourself :

Though physical relaxation is key to a peaceful night’s sleep, the mental aspect of reiki can be extremely helpful as well. Reiki techniques help clear the mind, allowing for easier access to your inner being and an increased ability to let go of stressful thoughts that often keep us up at night. By providing space in our minds and offering an opportunity to reconnect with ourselves, we can open up more energy pathways that allow for deeper sleep.

Now that you’re familiar with how reiki works to improve sleep quality, here are some simple tips on how to incorporate this healing practice into your own bedtime routine! Try using some of these reiki-based techniques when you’re getting ready for bed:

• Rest your hands on your temples and take a few deep breaths. Feel the energy radiating from your hands as you breathe in and out.

• Place your hands gently on your chest and feel the comfort of the warmth that radiates from them. Visualize a soothing lavender color filling up your entire body, allowing for further relaxation before sleep.

• Place one hand on each shoulder, giving yourself an internal hug as you visualize happy moments from your day or week. Allow yourself to be at peace with all of these moments and feel the calmness that comes with this connection.
