Ouch! Arthritis pain can be excruciating. I remember when the pain and inflammation from rheumatoid arthritis crippled me when it was at its worst. Arthritis pain is not only physically challenging, it can be emotionally and mentally devastating as well due to the lower quality of life that you have when you are in constant pain.
According to Mayo Clinic:
“Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more of your joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Osteoarthritis causes cartilage — the hard, slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones where they form a joint — to break down. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, beginning with the lining of joints.”
I am grateful my arthritis has improved with age, rather than worsen. I hope that you also will experience a reduction in your daily arthritis pain by using holistic treatments like Reiki for arthritis.
I have used Reiki for arthritis symptoms like joint pain and inflammation ever since I was diagnosed, and I have seen a significant amount of transformation.
Using Reiki for arthritis has helped me greatly reduce my pain, get out of a wheelchair, stop using a cane, and improve my ability to do daily tasks that can be challenging when you have arthritis.
I describe my healing path and give tips for using Reiki for arthritis on my Natural Healing for Rheumatoid Arthritis playlist on YouTube.
Using Reiki for Arthritis
Reiki is administered through gentle touch to bring healing. Reiki is a form of energy healing from Japan. Reiki heals the energetic root cause of any imbalance and helps the body relax so it can heal itself.
You might be wondering, how does Reiki help arthritis?
Benefits of Using Reiki for Arthritis
1. Soothing healing energy flows from your hands with a Reiki attunement or from the hands of the practitioner to bring feelings of relief, calm, peace, and wellbeing.
2. Reiki healing energy helps your body relax so that it can heal itself.
3. Reiki treats the energetic root cause of your symptoms so that it heals at the deepest level. This can include spiritual aspects of ill being.
4. Because Reiki treats energy imbalances, it can improve your mental and emotional health, both of which can be undermined by arthritis pain.
5. Reiki will heal the underlying beliefs and behaviors that may be contributing to or amplifying your arthritis pain. For example, having a habit of never resting, or eating triggering foods like nightshades, might be lifestyle changes you need to make to reduce arthritis pain.
6. Reiki is the energy of love and healing and does not cause harm.
7. Reiki works in conjunction with any form of arthritis treatment.
