REIKI FOR SMOKERS
Reiki’s main purpose is to balance out our body’s energy. When our energy is imbalanced, it may be expressed through emotions such as stress and anxiety. Once it is rebalanced we feel emotionally balanced too, and therefore wouldn’t feel the need to smoke.
Strengthens Immune System
Reiki strengthens the body’s immune system by boosting white blood cells, something which the immune system relies on. White blood cells in the body reduce and weaken through stress. As reiki helps the body release stress, there’s a chance for the cells to regenerate and therefore strengthen the immune system.
Mentally Healing
Nicotine cravings can be severe and withdrawals can even lead to depression. Research shows that the people in participation and received Reiki showed both immediate and long-term improvements in depression, stress and anxiety after weeks of treatment.
Helps Detox the Body
Smoking intoxicates your whole body. Smoking a cigarette releases sorts of poisonous, cancer-causing chemicals into the bloodstream.
Energy from Reiki promotes the release of toxins in the body. This can be both mental and physical toxins that build up in the body after bad experiences or poor health habits, like smoking.
