Winter sadness or seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can affect many people during the colder months with less natural sunlight. The exact cause is not fully understood, but it’s thought to be related to changes in light exposure, which can affect the body’s internal clock and levels of certain neurotransmitters like serotonin.
Reiki can be a helpful tool for those struggling with SAD and looking for natural ways to cope. This safe, gentle, and non-evasive energy healing technique can restore physical, emotional and spiritual balance by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.
If you have found yourself struggling for balance during the colder months, I have outlined a few ways Reiki can help below…
- Improved Sleeping Patterns: Reiki can promote deep relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve the quality and patterns of sleep, which can be beneficial for managing symptoms of SAD.
- Emotional Support: Some individuals find emotional support and a sense of balance through Reiki, which can help them deal with the emotional aspects of SAD.
- Mind-Body Connection: Reiki focuses on the body’s energy flow, which can positively impact mental health.
- Emotional healing: Reiki and crystals can help balance emotions and release blockages by working with energy centres to process and release negative emotions.
- Complementary Therapy: Reiki can be used as a complementary therapy alongside traditional treatments for SAD, such as light therapy or psychotherapy.
