There is so much pressure on children, these days.
From the moment they start school there seems to be an exam coming up and this can make children feel anxious and stressed.
Reiki can help with anxiety, exam nerves and can even be useful in supporting learning.
No one really knows how Reiki works: it is an observable system measurable only in its effects.
Research shows that those who have been treated with Reiki tend to report reduced anxiety, relief from stress and enhanced quality of life.
How does this apply to your children? Children respond really well to Reiki - they seem to instinctively recognise it as positive and life enhancing, even in the womb.
Parents who learn Reiki can help their children relax and release stress, particularly at exam time.
A Reiki treatment for a child takes much less time than for an adult and can, if necessary, be broken up into several sessions over a day, helping children relax and sleep well, even under the pressure of revision and national tests.
Reiki is, by its very nature a loving, calming touch which can augment the parent/child bond.
Parents, too, can become very anxious around exam time.
Regular Reiki treatments can help them relax, improving their ability to provide an atmosphere conducive to successful revision.
In addition, Level 2 Reiki can be of very practical help.
At Level 2, Reiki practitioners learn to send Reiki over time and space.
Successful outcomes require hard work as well as healing support and when Reiki is sent to doing well in the future it seems to open a clearer path towards that achievement.
Practitioners are also able to send Reiki to exam rooms, filling the air, furniture, papers, pens and everything else in the space.
In this way, everyone in the room can benefit, as it is available to all.
Since we do not give Reiki to people without their permission, in these circumstances it is available to accept or reject at the students' choice.
It is a personal dream that one day all teachers will learn Reiki as part of their training so that they can augment every student's capacity to learn and succeed in life.
It must be said, however, that not all children are suited to school life, but a classroom space cleared by a skilled practitioner is a most positive aid to learning and good behaviour.
Thus, it can be seen that Reiki can be used to support children's learning and success every step of the way.
