Menopause and Reiki: Using Energy to Manage Stress

Menopause is a major life transition, and it comes with its share of challenges: hot flashes, sleep disruptions, mood swings, and hormonal changes that can feel overwhelming. Not to mention car windows gong up and down on a whim and fans blaring across the room in the middle of winter.  Managing stress during this time is essential, because chronic tension can affect not just your mood, but your overall health and well-being.

Dr. Vonda Wright’s Unbreakable: A Woman’s Guide to Aging with Power offers a comprehensive, science-backed guide for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. The book focuses on exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle strategies that protect bone and muscle health, reduce inflammation, and improve resilience. Wright emphasizes actionable steps that help women feel strong, confident, and in control during this stage of life.

While the book covers practical, medical approaches, Reiki can complement these strategies as a stress-management tool. Reiki promotes relaxation, balances the nervous system, and helps release emotional tension, making it easier to implement lifestyle changes and maintain well-being. Even a few minutes of Reiki each day can enhance emotional balance, calm anxiety, and support a more grounded, intentional approach to menopause.

By combining the evidence-based strategies in Unbreakable with Reiki for stress reduction, women can create a holistic self-care routine that nurtures both body and mind. This approach transforms menopause from a purely medical challenge into an opportunity for personal growth, emotional balance, and empowered living.
