Sacred Space
Ceremonies, a form of sacred space, have been around for thousands of years as a way to connect, transform and heal individuals and communities. Entering into a ceremony is entering into a sacred space. If you have never been to a ceremony this is a way to enter into with support. Ceremonies can be done individually or in a larger group setting.
Engaging in this way is healing on many levels. It fills our hearts, renews our spirits, relaxes our bodies, and allows us to rest our minds. Participating in ceremony nourishes our spirits and gives us renewed energy to move forward feeling more centered and grounded in our personal truth.
We can create big ceremonies of celebration to mark life events, ceremonies to honor times of transition, ceremonies of healing, and ceremonies of blessing a space. Or we can simply light a candle and create a personal ceremony of healing, release, blessing, etc.
Reiki Energy Healing
Reiki, energy healing is also an ancient form of healing that has been passed down through healing practitioners in communities. It is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century.
The positive benefits of reiki can enhance your overall well-being. Researchers in a small 2016 study found that reiki was helpful in improving the quality of life for women with cancer. Women who had reiki showed improvements to their sleep patterns, self-confidence, and depression levels. They noted a sense of calm, inner peace, and relaxation.
Reiki may help to improve your mood by relieving anxiety and depression. According to results from a 2011 study, people who had reiki felt greater mood benefits compared to people who didn’t have reiki. The study participants who had six 30-minute sessions over a period of two to eight weeks showed improvements in their mood.
