How Reiki Works to Soothe the Nervous System

Reiki soothes the nervous system and gently resets the parasympathetic state—the part of your body responsible for rest, healing, and regulation. It slows the breath, calms the mind, and helps shift you out of fight-or-flight and into a soft, receptive state where deep relaxation and energy repair becomes possible.

This practice is trauma-sensitive, meaning we honor your body’s pace and capacity. Nothing is forced. We don’t push or override. We focus on building a foundation of true healing and lasting transformation which is essentially this: 

You're not broken and you don't need fixing.  Your body has a deep inner wisdom and knows how to heal itself when given the space and support. Your soul understands the journey you've been on and your heart can light the way home to yourself. 

In this training we learn how to meet ourselves and whatever emotions and energies that arise with compassion and the unconditionally loving energy of Reiki. 

You’ll begin to:

  • Reconnect with your body through gentle somatic awareness

  • Work with your body's energy centers to restore flow and balance

  • Recognize cues of stress and safely return to grounded regulation with a simple Reiki practice and other somatic tools

  • Build inner trust and learn how to self-resource in periods of overwhelm

  • Reclaim your whole being, your inner guidance, and your innocentce-- intuitively, energetically, and in your own time

🌺🌺🌺

The above words , known as The 5 Principles of Reiki, were framed in my bedroom. Every day, I’d take a few minutes to place my hands on my heart and say the words.  Just. For. Today.

It seemed unlikely that I would be anger free for the rest of my life, but today I could try. I had been out of Jehovah’s Witnesses for 11 years but in many ways had just started my healing journey. Reiki was the first thing healing tool I learned after I had an life changing session with a woman who would later became my teacher.

In just one Reiki session, I felt like 50% of my pain around being betrayed and shunned by my loved ones was gone. It was amazing! But as I looked at the 50% that remained, I saw an endless ocean. This healer lived an hour away and I didn't have the money to spend on weekly sessions, so I decided to learn how to do Reiki for myself. 

I took a class, similar to the one I am offering. I read books about Reiki. I practiced on myself most days. I had so much hurt and pain living inside of me. Each time, there was a little less. I kept reminding myself that just for today I could seek peace. I could do a few minutes of Reiki. And with time, the burdens I carried lessened.

I didn’t know anything about the nervous system back then. I just knew I could finally slow down, stop my racing mind and breathe deeply from my soul when I gave myself a Reiki session, much like how I felt when I sat by the lake as a child to soothe myself. Now I know that I was helping my nervous system to regulate and release unprocessed trauma that I had been carrying a life time each time I filled myself with Reiki-- also known as Universal Life Force Energy.

Reiki heals on a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual level. Even though I was very focused on my emotions and my heart, my body, mind and spirit were receiving benefit too.

It is my hope that with this class, you can discover how to support yourself on your healing journey with the softest, gentlest, most loving energy I have encountered in my 20+ years of finding my way home to myself and developing my skills as a professional healer.

I am inspired by the Rumi quote: The wound is where the Light enters you. For me and Reiki, that was definitely the case.
