REIKI for LOSS and GRIEF

Grief, itself, is a natural process. It is a natural response to loss. Often the emotional suffering we feel due to the loss of something or someone is overwhelming. The pain of grief can affect us in many ways. We may experience profound sadness, guilt, and even anger. Often, grief is associated with a death of a loved one and this is perhaps the most intense kind of grief but any loss can also cause grief such as divorce, losing a job, a miscarriage, a serious illness, losing a friend or pet.

Despite grief being a natural feeling, many of us were told growing up that we should be strong enough to overcome our feelings and act like we are okay even if we are not. Many people are scared to grieve that they shy away from it and find diversions to avoid actually feeling it. Seeing someone grieve can be difficult as it can remind us of our own loss or the ones we will experience in the future. But by embracing our own grief, it might be easier to empathize with someone who is going through a difficult time.

When we let ourselves experience the full impact of our grief, it can heal the deepest of wounds. Ignoring your pain or trying to contain it will only make it worse in the long run. Healing requires facing your grief and dealing with it actively. Shock is typically the initial response to loss, or you might be in denial. It’s a protective transition into overwhelming emotions that range from anger and depression to acceptance and relief.

One of the best ways to alleviate ourselves from grief effectively is through safe, channelled forms of energy healing such as Reiki, as the nature of energy healing works on a holistic level, you will be healing on mental, emotional, physical, energetic, and spiritual levels, letting the weight from each area fall through so that your mind, body, and soul can finally take a much-needed breather. Your body will be replenished by new, clean, positive energy from the Universe that can harmonize your body, thoughts, and emotions so that you can let go of the weight, feel lighter, clearer, and move forward at your own pace in a healthier way.

We all have different ways of coping with pain. Some find it easy to express their emotions and find comfort in sharing their pain to people close to them, but there are also some who tend to withdraw themselves from people and it is okay if that means you need some time for yourself to process what’s happening. What matters is you let yourself grieve and sometimes you might need to seek help. It is completely normal. In fact, acknowledging your pain and seeking a support system is important in coming to terms with your grief.
