Reiki: Build The Legacy in Your Family.Reiki for Mommies, Babies & DaddiesSoothing Reiki Care for a:
The parenting journey begins long before baby is born. It is a wondrous adventure that fulfills and challenges us physically, emotionally, and spiritually every step of the way. I know, because I’m a Mommy myself. Reiki for a Conscious ConceptionGetting your body, mind and spirit ready for conception and a successful, healthy pregnancy is essential. Reiki can play an integral part in conception, alongside with wholesome nutrition and exercise. Regular Reiki treatments fill and balance your whole being with that vital life force, chi, or Rei-ki, necessary for the demands of growing a new life inside yourself. Being able to conceive your baby consciously, with the support of Reiki, is a blessing indeed. Many couples, struggling to conceive, have been helped to fulfill their dream of having their own families through the use of Reiki. In Czechoslovakia, Reiki Master Mari Hall, runs a Reiki clinic at a regional hospital, where she works in conjunction with doctors and nurses to help infertile couples conceive. Below is one of her success stories: “The couple, Jana and Honza, had been married for eleven years and had been unsuccessful in conceiving a child…. I decided to treat the couple individually with Reiki so that each had their own time... After the first month of [Reiki] treatments she [Jana] was considerably changed. She had gained weight and had been sleeping through the night for two weeks. Her emotions were healthier… She said that Honza and she had been doing things in the evenings and had been talking more. I treated Honza twice a week for an hour a day, with extra time spent over the reproductive area… During the second month I asked the couple if they would be willing to take level one Reiki in order to treat each other. In addition to the benefits of Reiki, I felt it would be a natural way for them to spend more time having caring thoughts and feelings for each other. I suggested also that I would remain a consultant and see them monthly. They accepted this plan and started using Reiki every day on each other. At the end of the month we came together to see how the couple was doing. Both noticed a big difference in their energy levels and that they were not so intense about having a baby. We were now well into the fourth month of treatment when they came in my office and announced that they were expecting a child. It had been confirmed that morning. [Nine months later:] What impressed me so much was the feeling of love and support that was constant in the [birthing] room. Reiki was everywhere. At 5:45 am Honza was holding his new daughter and giving her Reiki while showing her to Jana. The delivery was without complication. Mother, baby and father were all fine. The doctors and the nurses noticed appreciable differences in Jana as compared with other women who have birth without Reiki. Jana was more relaxed, the delivery went more smoothly, and the baby was more alert and pink.” Reiki for a Vibrant, Peaceful PregnancyFact is, not all pregnancies are planned for or even anticipated. If baby is indeed a surprise, it is not too late to start using Reiki now. I am willing to work with mothers and families of all backgrounds, and at all stages of their parenting journey. Regular Reiki treatments during pregnancy allow mother, father and baby to bond deeply already during the first weeks and months of life. This allows for that all-important basic trust to emerge and develop. “My very favourite memory of this pregnancy is waking up in the morning, placing my hands on my tummy, and treating myself and baby to the relaxing and rejuvenating Reiki energy. During these times I feel so close to and at peace with my unborn child. Baby’s movements always calm down as if he or she was paying attention to what is going on. I just know my baby loves Reiki as much as I do.” Extract from Katherine K.’s Pregnancy Journal Reiki is completely safe to use during pregnancy. The Reiki energy does not come from the practitioner. Rather, this unique life force comes from the Divine Source, flows through the practitioner and into the client. Both the client and the practitioner can so benefit from the soothing and relaxing effects of Reiki. Since Reiki is guided by the Divine, it can do no harm and it can not be manipulated. Instead, Reiki, guided by its own intelligence and wisdom, can bring about the gentle healing and transformation that is most appropriate for its recipient. Reiki has also been known to help women deal with the common discomforts associated with pregnancies such as:
“Thank you so much for helping me with Reiki, Fränzi. I had been feeling very ill since the beginning of my pregnancy. After ten weeks of debilitating nausea, I was desperate. As soon as you touched my shoulders, it felt like a big warm hug. The nausea went away almost instantly. Reiki worked, even despite the distractions of the kids playing all around us. At the end of the 10 minute Reiki demonstration, I felt almost 100% again. I was so relieved, tears just ran down my cheeks. The next day I felt good enough to do some shopping in town (which I haven't done in weeks). A week later, the nausea is still gone! Thank you, Fränzi for the Reiki. It is so lovely to feel human again.” Jenny Z., Prince George “When I was put on bed rest during both my pregnancies, it was Reiki that kept me going physically and emotionally through the long and sometimes lonely last months, weeks and days. Reiki put me and baby at ease and I was able to stay optimistic and hopeful.” Katherine K., Prince George Reiki for an Empowering, Transformative Labour and BirthWhen finally the time comes to meet baby, parents who used Reiki during the gestation period, often find it only natural to invite the calming Reiki energy also into their labour and delivery. However, if Reiki has not yet been part of your pregnancy journey, it is not too late to invite it now. Mommy and baby can benefit from Reiki in the following three manners:
1. Get Reiki from a trusted Birth Companion: If the mother wishes to receive Reiki directly from the hands of the baby’s father or another birth companion, make sure this person gets attuned to Reiki well in advance by a knowledgeable Reiki Master & Teacher. Training on the First and Second Degree of Reiki are highly recommended. Once the birth companion is attuned to Reiki, mom can enjoy the benefits of Reiki directly from her trusted partner. “During labour, my husband’s Reiki hands took the edge off each contraction. I always knew which hands belonged to him. They were the hands that did not just touch but had the power to ease the pain. I always wanted his hands to be where it hurt the most. I was so grateful that we had this safe and effective pain relief literally at our fingertips.” Lisa P., Prince George Many birth partners feel empowered when they can actively do something for the labouring mother that makes a tangible difference. By giving Reiki, birth partners can reduce the pain, put mom and baby at ease, while fostering an atmosphere of peace, harmony and closeness. “Giving my wife Reiki throughout her labour gave me the greatest opportunity to be profoundly connected to her and our daughter. I truly felt that I was making a difference.” Ray, Dad of 2, 36 years 2. Get Distance Reiki from a Practitioner: Couples who do not want to do it all by themselves on the big day, can ask their practitioner to send Distance Reiki. Distance Reiki is a surprisingly effective way of supporting the birthing process, while providing the couple with maximum privacy. The Reiki practitioner is at her own home, sending mother and baby Reiki at agreed upon intervals. Through the miracle of Distance Reiki, the labouring mother will then be able to benefit from this calming and pain-reducing energy regardless of whether the Reiki practitioner is standing right next to her or is half a world away. “I called my sister who lives in another city when my labour got seriously underway. She promised to send me Reiki right away. Those five minutes, during which she sent me Distance Reiki, were the most sublime, rejuvenating and uplifting moments of my 16 hour labour. I sat down for the duration, completely free of pain, light as a bird, and full of joy and peace. It was marvellous! I only wish she did not have to run off to write an exam…!” Lisa P., Prince George 3. Get Reiki from a Practitioner Who is with You in Your Choice of Birthing Environment: Some mothers choose to invite their Reiki practitioner to be physically present during the birth-day of their child. This frees up the parents to be fully present for each other and the baby. Whether you plan on a homebirth or a hospital birth, many Reiki practitioners are willing to travel to and work in either environment. “I was only a few weeks pregnant when I asked Fränzi to be part of my birthing support team. I wanted her Reiki energy there when I needed it most. As soon as Fränzi knew that I was in labour she started sending me Reiki right away. When I got to the hospital, Fränzi was already waiting for me. It was wonderful having Fränzi with me in the delivery room. The midwife, doctors and nurses were open to her presence and the work she did. The soothing Reiki energy helped me relax both mentally and physically during the long and challenging delivery, and helped me cope with the pain. Even when I was in another world with my eyes closed, I could feel her energy. It felt like she was always there, very present and reassuring, but never in the way. Fränzi was there for me all the time--many long hours!--always giving me Reiki either by direct touch or by distance across the room. Thank you, Fränzi, for making my son's birth so special." Kerstin Peterson, Prince George Reiki for a Swift Postpartum RecoveryGiving birth rarely is a walk in the park. After almost 10 months of growing a baby, and often many hours of childbirth, one would expect that mom gets a well-deserved break. But reality is often very different. Between caring for baby and adjusting to the new reality, there is rarely much time left for mom to take care of herself, to heal and recover from the months and weeks of strain and excitement. Regular Reiki treatments during the postpartum recovery period can do wonders to accelerate mom’s physical, emotional and spiritual healing. So as not to jeopardize the mother-baby attachment, these sessions can be arranged right in the comfort of your home or your hospital room. “After baby was born, I was so excited and in awe, I could not sleep. But after a few days, the sheer exhaustion and a post-partum complication caught up with me. I developed a fever and was in need of ample of rest. I turned to my friend who offered me a Reiki treatment as a gift for my Baby Shower. I felt so much better after the Reiki treatment! The fever and pain were much reduced and I was able to sleep more soudly. The next day, I felt like a new person. My midwife was surprised and pleased to see me recover so quickly.” Sue, Quesnel Reiki for Calming Baby’s DiscomfortsWhen the excitement of the first days and weeks has passed, parents begin to establish new routines and settle into life with baby. Allow the healing energy of Reiki to continue to be your faithful companion along your long parenting journey. In the early years, Reiki can help you deal with:
Add Reiki to your arsenal of magic tricks that reliably ease baby’s common discomforts. “While I was nursing, my Reiki hands were always on baby’s back, giving him just the right amount of comforting energy that he needed. I also found that Reiki was often effective in helping baby fall asleep and stay asleep.” Katherine K., Prince George As your children grow older, Reiki will continue to be relevant to your family life. In fact, one of my son’s first words was “Reiki,” which he asked for every time he had an ouee. Soon he started imitating his parents, and he began to give us Reiki whenever he thought we needed it! Just a few days ago, my now 7-year old asked me to officially attune him to Reiki so he can give Reiki to his friends and family as well as his growing collection of pets.
