Healing the Nervous System with Reiki
Season 31 Episode 11
Anxiety. Burnout. Dysregulation. So many of us are living in constant fight-or-flight, our nervous systems fried from overgiving, overworking, and overthinking. What if healing wasn’t about pushing harder, but about slowing down and receiving?
In this luminous panel, three radiant women — Sierra, Dana, and Tange — share their journeys of healing through Reiki attunements at our retreat. Together we explore the mystical and the practical: how Reiki connects us to lineage and unconditional love, and how it rewires the nervous system toward rest, safety, and peace.
🌀 Why Reiki heals the nervous system
Modern science now confirms what ancient traditions have always known: practices like Reiki activate the parasympathetic nervous system — the “rest and digest” state that lowers stress hormones, regulates heart rate, and brings the body into balance. Studies show Reiki reduces anxiety, supports emotional regulation, and creates a measurable shift into calm.
🌟 Stories from the circle
Sierra: “I felt this armor fall away, like I was breaking free of a protective shield.”
Dana: “It was always me. Thousands of years behind me, thousands ahead. This moment was always meant to happen.”
Tange: “My nervous system was fried. I couldn’t turn it off. Reiki gave me a way to regulate again — not just for me, but for my family.”
These are not metaphors. These are lived experiences of the body, heart, and spirit remembering how to heal.
