Children’s Reiki Sessions

Reiki Sessions for Children Under 12 Now Available

As some of you may know, I have been involved in teaching, as well as K-12 education for much of my adult life. After leaving a PhD program at UCLA, I began teaching in the New York City public school system, where I would eventually help start an international public high school for recently arrived immigrant students ages 16-20. It was while working there that I deepened my yoga practice, found Reiki, as well as an informal young women’s group that focused on well-being.

Although I stopped teaching in K-12 settings, I continued to consult for public schools throughout the years. My experience with our younger population as well as my meditation and Reiki practice brought me to offer a Children’s Reiki Session for children under 12.

Why would a child under 12 need a Reiki session?

While children’s bodies are resilient, they may still need extra support for such things as focus and attention in school and their study habits and increased mindfulness. Reiki can help with such diagnoses as OCD, ADD and ADHD and childhood anxiety. With a series of sessions, it can get to the cause of the symptoms a child experiences with these conditions (as you may have read in my previous post about Hawayo Takata). Others who receive a more serious medical diagnosis for their child may seek outside support. Regardless, Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive treatment for children.

What can Reiki do for children?

Since Reiki works on the physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual levels, it can help a child’s system find its own equilibrium and therefore restore itself to health. Patterns such as anxiety, with a series of sessions, can greatly reduce and eventually disappear for the child. Reiki will give the child’s body, mind and spirit what it needs to self-heal and regenerate (which is what our bodies are meant to do).
