Are you grieving for a lost love? Then Reiki can help you.

Over the last year or so, I’ve had several clients who’ve come for Reiki Treatments in The Cabin because of their grief. Each has lost someone they loved deeply, and while it seemed the rest of the world had moved on, they were still stuck in their grief. And life was a struggle.

For some, they’ve been struggling with those feelings for many years: it’s as if they can’t, or don’t know how, to move on. Of course, to the outside world it looks like they’re coping, even thriving, but on the inside, that’s certainly not the case.

For one of my clients, when their partner died it meant they also suddenly became a single parent – so it is perhaps understandable that they had to put their own grief on hold in order to help their children deal with this huge and unexpected life transition.

I completely get that.

But putting on a brave face and carrying on for the sake of everyone else can lead to some very lonely places.

If everyone thinks you’re coping, no-one thinks to ask if you need support. And so, you keep it all bottled up inside – until the day when you really don’t think you can take any more of the pain and sadness inside.

Reiki can help you find the release and comfort you need while navigating grief.

Thankfully, for the clients who came to see me at Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach, they have started to find the release and comfort they so desperately need.

Reiki is a safe, natural, and simple healing technique, which many people turn to as a way of helping with a physical problem, such as pain, or insomnia or fertility issues...the list is endless.

But Reiki is not just about physical healing: it also delves deep into emotional and spiritual wellness – which is where it can help you with grief, worry, stress, and anxiety.

But what can you do if you don’t have Reiki in your life? Or even if you've had a Reiki Treatment, and it helped at first, but there’s still times when sadness threatens to envelop you once again. What then?

We’ve all lost loved ones in our lives, and although time really is a great healer, sometimes it’s inevitable that the grief and sadness of loss will come calling again.

When that happens for me, I always return to the five Reiki Precepts for support.

The precepts are not rules or affirmations, they’re just spiritual gifts of wisdom that really do help you lead a happier and more fulfilling life. The precepts are taught at Reiki I workshops, but they really are the foundations for every stage of your Reiki journey after that.

I’ve written before about the first two Reiki Precepts: Just for today, I will not worry; and Just for today, I will not be angry. You might like to read those Blogs by clicking below.

Both of the above precepts will definitely help anyone who is struggling with their grief.

But I think the third Reiki precept is particularly relevant, too: Just for today, I will be grateful.

...being grateful for the time you did spend with your loved one; being grateful for all the happiness; being grateful for all memories you created that can never be destroyed; being grateful that you got to travel some of this journey with such a remarkable soul...

If you live your life in gratitude for all that you have, or have had, life really can be a little less painful, and more rewarding.

I know it seems like a simple thing to say, be grateful, but I really do think you’ll be amazed at how much this way of being changes your life.

Until next week.

Much love,

Denise
