How Reiki can benefit babies, toddlers, children and teenagers
As a Reiki Master Teacher, I am grateful to offer sessions for newborn babies, young children, adolescents, and adults. It is a privilege to witness the transformative power of Reiki across different age groups.
Let's acknowledge the profound impact of parental touch. In this simple yet powerful gesture, parents unknowingly transfer energy—a tangible manifestation of their love and care. This loving touch not only strengthens the bond between parent and child but also nurtures a deep, unspoken connection that resonates within both. It stands as a testament to the immeasurable power of parental love, creating a sanctuary of warmth and security for the ones they cherish.
In moments of profound emotional distress, when parents seek solace through physical touch with their child, there exists a potential for the transfer of emotions. While the intention may be one of seeking comfort, the child can inadvertently absorb these emotions, imprinting them energetically. Should these emotions be potent enough, they have the capacity to leave a lasting imprint on the child's emotional landscape.
This is where Reiki distinguishes itself. Reiki stands as a safe and profound form of energy healing, separate from the potential emotional transfer in parental touch. In Reiki, practitioners channel energy from the external, pure Universal source, untainted by personal emotions or energies. This ensures a pristine transmission of healing energy, free from the fluctuations of human emotion, and thus offers a unique and reliable avenue for healing and rejuvenation.

FAQ about Chidrens Reiki
Is Reiki safe for kids?
Reiki for children is considered one of the safest forms of complementary therapy and treatment. Here's why:
• It is non-invasive.
• It does not require physical touch.
• It does not rely on specialized
equipment.
• It does not involve the use of edications
or require lifestyle changes.
• It does not harm the body.
How long is Childrens Reiki session?
While typical sessions for adults usually last 60-90 minutes, shorter sessions are often offered for children due to their natural restlessness. A Reiki session for infants, babies or toddlers, can be as brief as ten to twenty minutes, allowing for flexibility and accommodating their attention spans. It may incorporate gentle movements, storytelling, or any activity that helps them relax and connect with themselves.
Reiki simply stimulates the natural healing processes inherent within every child. During a session, the practitioner may hover their hands over the child's body, either with or without physical contact, and channel healing energies from the universe to the child. This can create a sense of calm and well-being that can last for hours or even days.
What can I expect during a Reiki session for my child?
Although the general progression of a Reiki session is similar for both adults and
children, the experience may vary.
• Your child will be asked to sit in a chair or lie down on a specially designed table for Reiki.
• The Reiki practitioner will give your
child time to get comfortable, and then
they will position their hands above the
child's body, maintaining a distance of
about six inches.
• The practitioner will "scan" your child's
body by moving their hands, sensing
for areas of low energy or blockages in the
energy centres.
• Once the scanning is complete, the
practitioner will focus on specific areas
that require attention, using their hands to
help unblock the energy.
What else do I need to keep in mind If I am considering Reiki for my child?
Although the general progression of a Reiki session is similar for both adults and children, the experience may vary.
• It will be nice to inform your child about what to expect before the session. Let them know they may feel sensations of warmth or tingling, so they won't be surprised or upset by them.
• After the session, there may be a
detoxification process releasing negative
energies. Ensure that your child drinks
plenty of water and gets adequate rest
on the day following the session. A quiet
evening at home with nourishing and
simple food can be a good way to conclude the day.
By considering these aspects, you can help
create a comfortable and beneficial
Reiki experience for your child.
Are there any precautions to consider when it comes to Reiki for kids?
It's important to remember that while Reiki can have positive effects on your child, it does not cure illnesses or medical conditions. Reiki is an alternative therapy that should be used as a complement to medical treatment, not as a replacement.
Be cautious of any Reiki practitioners who guarantee immediate results or claim to cure serious or terminal conditions such as cancer. If you have doubts or concerns, it's best to consult with your doctor or a qualified medical professional.
Here are some sensations your child may experience during a Reiki session:
• They may feel warmth, coldness, tingling, twitches, or even stomach rumbling.
• They might sense a wave or golden
radiance passing through their body,
creating a feeling of relaxation and
tranquillity.
• They could experience a surge of natural
energy, feeling invigorated and lively.
• They may also feel a sense of inner
balance, similar to the calmness induced by
guided meditation.
• They may fall asleep.
• They may feel totally different
sensations or none.
Either way, rest assured that the benefits
from the healing energy of the Reiki session
are guaranteed.
As a parent, you'll be glad to know the following:
• Your child will never be asked to remove any clothing during the session.
• The entire session can be conducted
without any physical manipulation, as the
practitioner's hands will
remain near but not in contact with the
child's body.
