Reiki for a Healthy Mother and Child

Reiki can bring positive benefits to both the expectant mother and her unborn child through all stages of pregnancy. A Reiki Master-Teacher initiates the treatment by meditating and using various hand positions to channel these energies for healing and promotion of general good health. For expectant mothers the three chakras used are the third eye, solar plexus, and the sacral chakra. These three correspond to the head and abdomen, and help to relieve stress and morning sickness during the first trimester, and also bring the mother's aura back into balance.

Reiki, beyond the first four months of pregnancy, is used to relieve some of the physical and emotional stress associated with the rapidly changing body and hormone fluctuations. Better sleep patterns and reduced discomfort have been recorded with regular Reiki sessions and have been shown to assist with labor pain and the shortening of delivery time. Women who have had to undergo cesarean sections for their first child have been able to deliver via natural childbirth methods if Reiki treatments were used during subsequent pregnancies.  After the baby is born, continued Reiki sessions have proven to be very beneficial in reducing the effects of post-partum depression and the transition of mother-child bonding. Babies seem to be calmer, sleep better, have reduced instances of colic, and enhanced motor activity.

Shared Reiki is a form of Reiki practice that involves two people receiving Reiki simultaneously. It is a powerful way for both parties to deepen their connection, enhance their intimacy, and promote healing in their relationship.

During a Shared Reiki session, both clients usually lie down comfortably on massage tables, while the Reiki practitioner works to channel healing energy to them. The practitioners may use hand positions that correspond to the chakras or energy centers in the body, or they may simply focus on areas of tension or imbalance.

Shared Reiki can be particularly beneficial for relationships who are experiencing stress, tension, or difficulties. It can help to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and increase feelings of love and compassion between both parties.

Overall, Shared Reiki is a wonderful way for mother and child (young and mature) to connect with each other on a deeper level and to promote healing and wellbeing in their relationship.

Shared Reiki is also great for couples.
