At this time of year, we’re all rushing about, buying gifts, planning holiday get-togethers, decorating our homes. Perhaps spending more money than we should, while thinking about the inevitable January bills.

And feeling thoroughly stressed. We’re trying to do too much with too little time. We’re feeling like we’re coming apart at the seams.

Did you know you can use Reiki to get relief from all the holiday insanity of this time of year?

Yes, Reiki is a wonderful way to take care of yourself and nurture both your body AND your spirit. And it can take as little or as much time as you care to spend!

START YOUR DAY WITH REIKI:

You can start your day by sending yourself a little soothing, calming Reiki. One thing I like to do is sit or lie down in a comfortable position. You can even do this before you get out of bed.

Place your right hand over your Third Eye Chakra (located in the middle of your forehead). Place your left hand over your Heart Chakra (located in the center of your chest). Inhale deeply and easily. As you exhale, allow the Reiki to flow through your hands into your Chakras.

You can do this for just a minute or so if you don’t have much time. Or you can do it for 10, 15 minutes or more. You’ll feel much more calm and centered throughout your day!

END YOUR DAY WITH REIKI:

If you want to destress at bedtime, simply lie in bed with both of your hands over your Solar Plexus Chakra (located between your navel and the bottom of your ribcage). Again, take a nice deep inhalation, and as you exhale, allow the Reiki to flow through your hands.

During this exercise, it may help you to imagine the Reiki having a yellow color, since yellow is the color associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra.

As you notice your chest rising and falling each time you inhale and exhale, allow the stress to drain away from your body. You can fall asleep in this position. It’s very reassuring and will help you get a deep, restful sleep.

REIKI DURING THE DAY:

If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed during the day (especially standing on long lines at stores), you can also send yourself a bit of Reiki. Simply touch your favorite Chakra (I like to use the Third Eye or the Heart Chakra) with one of your palms or even just the tip of your index finger if your hands are full.

Doing this can help you stay calm while the sales clerk yet again calls the manager to approve a transaction!

Give yourself permission to relax a bit more during this Holiday season. Reiki is here to help.

Namaste,

Loretta
