The Benefits of Learning Reiki for Senior Citizens

As we age, maintaining physical, mental, and emotional well-being becomes increasingly important. One holistic approach that has gained popularity among senior citizens is Reiki, a Japanese healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and enhances overall well-being.

Why Reiki is Beneficial for Seniors

  3. Better Sleep and Increased Vitality: Reiki studies show an increase in sleep which is crucial for overall health. A good night's sleep improves our energy levels and helps seniors feel more alert and connected to community which is crucial for overall health and well-being.

  4. Pre and Post-Operative Recovery: Seniors recovering from surgery of dealing with chronic illnesses can benefit from Reiki sessions. Reiki can speed up the healing process and ease breathing difficulties. Intention and mantras can help calm the nervous system to support and control fear and anxiety leading into an operation and recovering from surgery or illness. 

  5. Inner Peace: Through the gentle flow of energy, Reiki encourages a spiritual connection that transcends physical limitations, allowing seniors to feel a part of something greater.
