Supporting Digestive Balance
Did you know that Reiki can support your digestive system health? It does this by gently releasing tension from the gut by inviting deep relaxation and then shifts the nervous system out of a fight-or-flight mode into rest-and-digest one. As stagnant energies dissolve, healing starts in the areas of the body, including the digestive system, that have been holding onto stress and discomfort. Integrating regular Reiki treatments into your self-care routine provides an empowering tool for reclaiming digestive balance and nurturing health from the inside out. Additionally, Reiki also supports natural detoxification so drinking plenty of water after each session is always recommended.
