Reiki for children, toddlers and babies

Children and toddlers

Reiki is a gentile, safe, relaxing and harmonious energetic treatment, very much suited for young children and babies.

Reiki can also help parents treating children, toddler's and baby common health ailments.
And because children are very sensitive and receptive to Reiki treatments, they can observe this energy far quicker and better than normal adults.

Additionally, children are "instinctive healers", very talented for Reiki and other sorts of healing, both as receivers and practitioners.

When fully energised, children and toddlers tend to manifest it by getting distracted and overly active. They will reach a point where they prefer to play, instead of having a full Reiki treatment.

Benefits of Reiki treatments for children and toddlers

In what regards children and toddlers, Reiki is advisable to treat among other things:

  • behavioural problems;
  • restlessness;
  • hyperactivity;
  • sleeping or eating disorders;
  • lack of concentration at school;
  • lack of self-esteem and self-confidence;
  • lack of energy and motivation;
  • fear, panic attacks and traumas;
  • weak immune systems;
  • allergies, asthma and respiratory problems;
  • children's ailments;
  • etc.

Children and toddlers benefiting from Reiki, generally feel calmer and increasingly more focused at school. They also cope better with stressful life situations ( ex: parents divorce, death of a parent or relative, moving to a new country, etc.), low self-esteem issues, lack of creativity, oversensitivity and anxiety.

Regarding life threatening illnesses e.g. cancer, tumours, leukaemia, organ surgeries, etc, Reiki can also be of great aid for children experiencing these traumatic experiences.
In this perspective, Reiki helps reducing pain from chemotherapy or any other side effects, arising from heavy medication intake.
Finally, Reiki helps children with life threatening illnesses to sleep better, to relax, to feel less stressed, to feel loved, to less afraid and to feel emotionally more in peace.

Babies

Babies are very sensitive, normally suffering from particular health problems or age symptoms, needing special attention and care.
And because babies have fragile bodies and constitutions, they also welcome much easier energetic treatments.

And Reiki can be of great aid in treating common baby related illnesses.
Interesting enough, Reiki also stimulates their growth, harmonising all body vital organs and reinforcing the babies immune system.

And it's already proven scientifically, that Reiki works wonders in children with weak immune systems, hospitalised in maternities or in incubators.
These children often feel very much distressed and traumatized, needing extra attention, love and care. And Reiki helps energising these children, by giving them direct contact and wonderful therapeutic touch.

Still in what regards babies, Reiki is also viewed as a gentile and harmless healing practice. Babies never get overwhelmed with these treatments, receiving only the level of energy their body needs.

In what regards Reiki sessions tailored for babies, these take always less time than sessions tailored for adults. And babies being much smaller in size than adults, often  also require less energy.

Some practitioners prefer to practice localized Reiki in babies, or "spot" Reiki rather than full body treatments.
In many cases, placing the practitioners hands in the babies tummy is enough to generate general wellbeing.
Babies can also easily be treated lying down in the parents arms or lap, not being necessary to treat them in a normal practitioners table.

Finally, when fully energised, babies tend to get as distracted as other children and toddlers. When fully energised, they might even push away the practitioner hands or fall into deep sleep.

Reiki benefits for babies

In what regards babies, Reiki is advisable to treat:

  • colic's;
  • stomach aches;
  • teething;
  • sleeping disorders;
  • wheezing;
  • eczemas, rushes and skin hypersensitivity;
  • respiratory problems, fever, coughs and flues;
  • stress;
  • eating disorders;
  • traumas of neglecting parents, sense of abandonment, rejection etc;
  • physical coordination problems;
  • ear infections;
  • etc.
