During my interview for The Daily Beast article on Reiki for kids, the journalist asked, “What kind of parent is interested in Reiki for kids?”She was wondering if this were a New York City phenomenon.
“What kind of parent is interested in Reiki for kids?” I parroted back to her. “Every parent who has had a positive Reiki experience.”
And even parents with no Reiki experience often attend my First degree Reiki classes hoping they can help their children.
Why Reiki for kids?
Parents seek Reiki for kids for many different reasons. Some parents want to relieve their kids’ anxiety. Others seek to improve their children’s behavior and focus. And sometimes parents need to support their children as they address a serious medical diagnosis.
Reiki practice can help in all those situations, and many others.
How can that be? Because it doesn’t address the symptom, behavior or medical condition directly the way conventional medicine does.
Instead, Reiki practice gently encourages the child’s system to find its unique balance from within. As the child’s system becomes more balanced, his or her self-healing mechanisms engage and function optimally.
In that way, by supporting balance from within, Reiki practice supports the child’s overall well-being.
