Reiki Therapy and Its Benefits for Everyone's Day Hab's Clients
Understanding Reiki Therapy
Reiki is a holistic approach to health and wellness that has gained popularity in adult day habilitation and care programs, due to its gentle and non-invasive nature. Reiki is a Japanese healing technique based on the principle that the practitioner can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient’s body and restore physical and emotional well-being. A typical Reiki session involves the patient lying down fully clothed while the practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the patient’s body in a series of positions to create a transfer of energy from the practitioner’s hands to the patient. This energy flow is believed to help balance the body’s energy centers and promote healing on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.
The Benefits of Reiki for Adults with Intellectual and Physical Disabilities
One of the primary benefits of Reiki is its ability to induce a state of deep relaxation. For Everyone’s Day Hab’s intellectually and physically disabled clients this has been particularly beneficial as it helps reduce their anxiety and stress. Reiki also promotes a sense of calm and peace and helps improve the mood and emotional stability of our clients. For our clients with chronic pain, Reiki therapy helps manage their pain by promoting relaxation and reducing their body tension. Our clients with disabilities often have compromised immune systems and Reiki is believed to support the body’s natural healing process, including boosting the immune system.
