Love Reiki After Care Advice

PLEASE REST, DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AND KEEP YOUR DIET LIGHT AFTER YOUR HOLISTIC TREATMENT
 
Many people experience sensations during a reiki healing session. They may see colours, or experience pressure in their head during reiki, or any other holistic therapy for that matter. And for some, they may experience 'after effects' in the days after their therapy appointment.

It is not uncommon for individuals to suffer from detoxification reactions when they begin a program of natural healing.  This is classically referred to as a healing crisis / healing reaction and occurs when the body is expelling toxins into the different systems of the body.  The healing crisis is a normal process that toxic individuals will often encounter on their path to getting well.
 
The medical term for healing crisis is the “Herxheimer Reaction.”  This occurs when the cells release toxins into circulation but the elimination organs (skin, lungs, liver, kidneys, bladder & GI tract) are not able to eliminate them quickly enough.  The toxins remain in circulation and can affect the brain stem region leading to nausea, poor coordination, headaches, fatigue, malaise, fever, etc.
 
A healing reaction is very natural and unique for each individual.  The vast majority experience very mild symptoms while others experience severe issues.  The individual should understand that these symptoms are temporary and will subside as the body gets healthier and able to eliminate toxins more effectively.  Symptoms usually reduce/eliminate within 2-3 days but on rare occasions can last a few weeks.
 
Most people base their health on how they are feeling and think that the natural health program is hurting them when they go though a healing crisis.  This could not be further from the truth.  The longer toxins or pathogenic organisms remain in the body the worse their health will be and the faster they will develop disease.
 
People who are already suffering from major illnesses or are quickly building disease processes may suffer from more extreme reactions.  This may explain why someone would have a brief flare-up in their condition.  On occasion the crisis will come after the individual feels at their very best.
 
The most common symptoms associated with a healing crisis include nausea, vomiting, poorly tum, night sweats, hot/cold flashes, increased blood pressure, headaches, joint pain, & fatigue.
 
Therefore following reactions may occur within 24 hours after the treatment and may last for several days. They are most evident following the initial few sessions.

  • Passing more urine: The volume, odour and colour may change too.
  • Bowel movement increase: Increase in bulk, stronger odour often accompanied by wind.  Occasionally you may experience a poorly tummy.
  • Cold Like Symptoms: More mucus, runny nose, sore throat, short bouts of feverishness may occur.
  • Increase in perspiration.
  • Old Conditions: Seemingly re-appearing even after some years that have been suppressed by drugs and not completely cured. These old conditions are activated and with regular treatment cured.
  • Sleeping Patterns: Deeper, calmer sleep. Vivid dreams.
  • Vaginal Discharge:  May occur in some female clients.
  • Menstrual cycle: increase flow.
  • Pressure in head / Headaches: If you suffer with headaches or migraines these often improve very quickly although occasionally as part of the healing process you may suffer one or two headaches and sometimes experience dizziness.
  • Energy levels: Following treatment a client normally feels very relaxed. This is often replaced by a feeling of increased energy. Be warned do not to over-exert yourself! You should relax so this energy can be used for healing.
  • Nausea: Can occur following treatment. On rare occasions physically sick.
  • Bruising – can occur over certain reflex points on the feet.
  • Aches, pains and muscular discomfort: due to the stirring up of toxins.
  • Emotional differences – it is not uncommon to feel tearful and depressed after a treatment, or even very elated, often without any particular reason.
 
Tips for dealing with a Healing Reaction
  • See this as a sign of progress and healing.
  • Drink more water.
  • Breathe more consciously and deeply.
  • Get more rest and sleep.
  • Enjoy gentle exercise and fresh air.
  • Reduce sugar and alcohol intake.
  • Be positive.
  • Get in touch for further advice if needed.
