“When a Reiki practitioner is working through a trauma-informed lens nothing is imposed or guided by the practitioner. Rather the practitioner holds space and allows the client to receive and open up to Reiki. This non-directive approach to healing is very honoring. Instead of a top-down modality where the practitioner is doing something to affect a change, with Reiki the practitioner is simply being present to what is. In that presence alone energy will begin to shift and reorganize according to its own intelligence and ability. Reiki helps clients live in their own vibrational intelligence. As clients come into closer contact with their essence, and that which is non-essential falls away, it helps clients shift their relationship to themselves and to trauma. Trauma can be seen more clearly and has less of a charge or hold on the system. We can’t change the traumatic experience however as we come to know ourselves more deeply we relate to trauma more dynamically. There is more space within us and between us and the trauma. Reiki helps to create this space. It clears up the noise and the clutter so energy can flow freely. This helps dissociate repetitive thought patterns and charged emotional cycles. The practice helps to unhook the energetic charge around emotional neuropeptide formation so there are new possibilities in how the body and brain process emotion. It helps clients drop the addiction to their thoughts and their emotions to experience, more and more, what is and less and less of what once was.” -Greg Wieting | photo: @mollyboha | Greg shared this insight, and much more, in our forthcoming trauma-informed Reiki toolkit!
