Reiki is a therapy that can be used at preconception, pregnancy and postnatal stages. Reiki has no contraindications and is completely safe for any stage of pregnancy, even during the first trimester where other therapies would normally be approached with caution.

Preconception can be an especially stressful time. Trying to conceive is not always as easy as you’d expect and the longer things take to happen the more anxious you can become. Stress can be counter-productive to fertility and can make the whole conception journey a very difficult time. Experiences throughout our lives can impact and creates the energy dynamics that are occurring in our body. Positive behaviours, such as good eating habits, exercising, and increasing a healthy self-esteem feed a positive energy flow in the body. Conversely, constant stress, lack of exercise, substance abuse and harbouring a negative or fearful belief system can also cause blockages in the energy field that diminish flow to different areas of the body. Major illnesses or long-term emotional or mental stress can also impact upon these blockages within the body.

Restoring wellness using Reiki is a process. To work on repairing and restoring a person’s energy field, the practitioner must explore where the energy is blocked or out of balance and begin to restore those areas. Many times, the energy in and around the reproductive systems is very low, particularly if the woman has old emotional wounds stored in this area.

All parts of our body serve a role in keeping us healthy. Our energy, when at its optimum, supports total health and well-being. When this energy is reduced we may feel as if we are struggling on various levels; our body might not be able to perfectly perform in the way that the various components were meant to, and our emotional or mental states may experience depression or feel overwhelmed.

Reiki provides emotional and mental balance, helping the client to align with the process of fertility in a more positive way. When a woman is feeling empowered to start a family. It is very discouraging to be told that she should give up or that she is unable to conceive without medical intervention. This negativity permeates into her emotional and energetic fields, creating more blocks. Reiki nurtures her into a place of knowing that all will work out for the best and that all parts of her being are working toward creating the highest good for all. Energy follows thought and is empowered by our feelings.
