HOW STRESS AFFECTS YOUR BODY!
Stress triggers the adrenals to secrete the highly active hormones of adrenaline and cortisol, which put the body into “fight or flight” mode. If you find that you suffer from periodic bouts of insomnia, or you experience tense muscles, this can signify adrenaline drive, where the body doesn’t “switch off” the adrenalin.
Over time, this depletes the nervous system and plays havoc with the immune system, digestion and the ability to wind down and relax. When we are in fight or flight mode, the digestion and immune systems shut down, as they are not as vital in an emergency. Your body doesn’t differentiate between real danger or having a stressful day.
Taking time out to positively manage stress and increase wellbeing is key to replenishing energy levels and improving health and wellbeing.
REIKI is a relaxing treatment to counteract stress.
One of the most relaxing treatments you can experience is Reiki healing. It is a gentle therapy that works with the energetic field of the body by directing healing energy.
Receiving a Reiki Treatment
is a gentle and tranquil full body treatment that is received fully clothed, lying down on a treatment table. The healing energy is a fine vibrational frequency directed through the hands that are placed on the body or in the energy field, positively affecting the physical and subtle energy fields of the body. It can be felt as warm, sometimes cool, radiating, tingling and calming energy.
The resonance of the energy allows the mind to slow down and relax, shifting from the stressor dominance of the sympathetic nervous system, to the relax, rest and replenish aspect of the parasympathetic nervous system, thus initiating the innate healing of our immune system.
With such a deep relaxation response and calming effect, Reiki can help to alleviate pain, reduce tension in muscles and help release mental and emotional stress. It raises and refreshes the spirit and provides a deep sense of peace and calm that helps to restore a positive mind and outlook, making the treatment a good choice for helping to cope with stress levels.
