💫Trauma and it’s physical effects
😬Even if you don’t consciously recall the event, your nervous system can hold onto the stress or fear associated with it.
Trauma often shows up physically in the body as:
🤍 Tight Muscles or Aches – Stiff shoulders, neck pain, jaw clenching, or back aches can be signs your body is holding stress.
🤍 Stomach Problems – Stress can upset your stomach, causing things like nausea, cramps, or digestive issues.
🤍 Feeling Tired All the Time – Your body can stay on high alert, even without realizing it, which makes you feel drained.
🤍 Easily Startled – Jumping or feeling on edge often can mean your body is stuck in “survival mode.”
🤍 Breathing or Heart Changes – Shallow breathing, fast heartbeat, or chest discomfort can happen when your body is stressed.
🤍 Feeling Numb or Disconnected – Trauma can make it hard to feel your emotions or connect with your body.
🤍 Body Posture Changes – Slouching or holding your body in protective positions can show your body is guarding itself.
🤍 Sleep Problems – Trouble sleeping, waking up often, nightmares, or night sweats can be signs your body is carrying stress.
🌸 Reiki gently helps the body release trauma and stress by calming the nervous system, shifting it out of “fight-or-flight” mode, and encouraging stuck energy to flow freely. This can ease physical tension, improve sleep and energy, and support emotional healing by creating a safe space to notice and release buried emotions.
✨It also helps you reconnect with your body, bringing awareness to sensations without judgment, and restores balance between mind and body, leaving you feeling lighter, calmer, and more grounded.
