I am Fifty and Falling Apart

I’ve been hearing this phrase a lot lately from beautiful, powerful women: “I feel like my body is falling apart!” What do I do? I shake my head, smile, and get them to my Reiki table as soon as possible. Why? Because I firmly believe Reiki can support their wellness journey at any age, but especially when a woman hits an age number that makes us feel less worthy of ourselves.

Turning fifty can indeed bring about various physical and emotional changes, but Reiki can be a powerful tool to help you feel empowered, alive, and in control. Here are some whimsical and entertaining ways Reiki can support you:

  1. Stress Reduction and Relaxation: Imagine floating on a cloud of tranquility. Reiki helps to reduce stress and promote relaxation, which can alleviate many physical and emotional symptoms. When you calm the mind and body, you feel more centered, spiritual, and at peace.

  2. Increased Energy and Vitality: Picture yourself as a vibrant sunflower, soaking up the sun’s energy. Regular Reiki sessions can boost your energy levels and overall vitality. This can help you feel more active and engaged in everyday life, making you feel more alive and in control.

  3. Improved Body Awareness: Think of your body as a finely tuned instrument. Reiki encourages a deeper connection with your body, helping you to become more aware of its needs and signals. This awareness can lead to better self-care and a healthier lifestyle. It also reminds us of the power of our bodies and how we connect to ourselves and the world around us.

  4. Emotional Balance: Visualize yourself as a serene lake, undisturbed by the winds of life. Reiki can help to balance your emotions, reducing feelings of anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. You are resilient. Reiki helps you face challenges with greater emotional stability, allowing you to see yourself with kindness and remove the stereotypes that can throw you off balance.

  5. Enhanced Self-Confidence: Imagine standing tall like a majestic tree, deeply rooted and unshakeable. By promoting a sense of inner peace and self-awareness, Reiki can boost your self-confidence. When we feel more confident about ourselves, we can move mountains, take better control of our lives, and make positive choices to enhance our well-being.

  6. Pain Relief: Think of Reiki as a gentle wave washing away your aches and pains. Reiki has been known to help alleviate physical pain and discomfort, which can be particularly beneficial as the body ages. With increased energy flow and movement, our overall quality of life is improved. Reiki is wonderful for arthritic aches and pains and can release inflammation.

  7. Spiritual Connection: Envision yourself as a radiant star, connected to the vast universe. Reiki fosters a deeper connection with the universe, providing a sense of purpose and fulfillment. This spiritual connection can be incredibly empowering and uplifting during times of change in our bodies.

By incorporating Reiki into your routine, you can navigate the changes that come with turning fifty and upwards with grace and confidence. Remember, it’s never too late to invest in your well-being and embrace the journey ahead.
