First, what Reiki is…and isn’t.
Not a religion or a belief. A healing power that you can easily give or receive with positive intention..A form of energy healing that is very easy to learn by anyone. Even children. It activates and energizes the crown, heart, and hand chakras to direct “universal life force energy” into another person.
When you connect with the Reiki “power ray/beam” you are also receiving reiki right through your chakras as well..
Personally, the more time I spend in the Reiki “ray” the more I feel connected to source, my guides, and my higher self. I can easily trust my intuition and can feel the power that that all brings..So I practice every day.
Working in this higher vibration and bringing this energy into the birthing room is beneficial and helps create an even more sacred experience for baby and mom.
During the whole Birthing Process, Reiki is a perfect companion to the compassionate loving energy that you give to the birthing mama so freely.
Working in this higher vibration and bringing this energy into the birthing room is beneficial and helps create an even more sacred experience for baby and mom.
Reiki can ease suffering and pain, give a boost of energy to a hard working laboring mama and fortifies the uterus with extra power for more efficient contractions…saves labor time! )
If you are a birthworker, birth coach, or partner and Reiki Practitioner, you are in contact with the reiki ‘flow’ and you feel energized, rather than depleted from all the ‘giving energy’ that you are bestowing on your partner or client..Let Reiki do the work for you when you get tired!
As a practitioner, If you have Reiki II or better, you can certainly help shift your clients, or your own limiting beliefs around birth, and your/her own personal power and ability to birth the way you/she wants.
You can even help to heal past trauma, (sexual or otherwise) that may impede her/your innate birthing powers. A Reiki session with a practioner before her/your birth would be ideal.
Reiki for the Postpartum Mom brings blessings and healing energy directly to the baby, breasts, the recovering pelvic floor, uterus, vulva, her relationship to self (reiki II) as she/you transition into the Mother Role.
I am in awe of birth and birthwork. Being present at the portal of birth… the new souls coming onto Earth, is an amazing privilege. Supporting the Mama-Goddess aspect in all it’s forms is high holy work!
Adding reiki to your current energetic practice, or to support your partner’s birth (doulas, pre-natal fitness instructors, breasfeeding experts, postpartum therapists especially!) will expand the consciousness of all involved…
If you (and/or your birth partner!) are interested in spending a few hours with me to learn (or even re-learn)Reiki and become a Reiki Practitioner, go here for more info on Red Tent VIP spa day reiki classes that include the Munay Ki Blessing of the womb.
