Depression

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that depression impacts roughly 400 million individuals globally, potentially diminishing life quality and leading to severe outcomes if left untreated. While there are various treatments for depression, incorporating Reiki alongside conventional medical approaches can offer significant benefits.

​

Reiki sessions can assist individuals experiencing depression by:

​

• Enhancing Mental and Physical Equilibrium: Reiki promotes the restoration and balance of both mind and body, potentially improving mood and alleviating feelings of guilt and sadness.

• Promoting Relaxation: By calming the mind and body, Reiki effectively counters anxiety, offering a profound sense of relaxation.

• Restoring Control: Reiki can rejuvenate one's sense of self-control and boost self-confidence, empowering clients to take charge of their lives again.

• Fostering Connections: Reiki facilitates the re-establishment of personal relationships through the care and compassion demonstrated by practitioners.

• Alleviating Stress: Reducing stress is a key benefit of Reiki, which can directly lessen the symptoms of depression.

Although Reiki is helpful in mitigating symptoms of depression, incorporating it with psychotherapy, behavioral therapy, and medication is advisable for a comprehensive treatment plan.

For optimal outcomes, individuals with depression are encouraged to engage in multiple Reiki sessions. While a single session can provide relief, ongoing treatment offers more substantial and lasting improvements in symptoms.
