You would think that with all the articles on how to cope with stress in popular magazines, newspapers, and medical literature that we would have a better handle on it. Yet the annual survey on stress in America conducted in 2010 by the American Psychological Association reports that only 40% of Americans think that their health is good or excellent. A whopping 44% of Americans state that their stress levels have risen during the past five years.
What's more, most Americans are living with moderate to high stress levels, yet our efforts to manage that stress usually fail, especially if we are women. 28% of women report living with a high level of stress (8, 9, or 10 on a 10-point scale with 10 representing the highest level of stress) as opposed to 20% of men. 49% of women, and only 39% of men, report that their stress levels have shot up in the last five years.
Clearly, we Americans need help to reduce stress. And we women need more help with stress. That's when alternative health methods such as Reiki shouldn't be considered flaky, but should be touted as natural complements to our health practices, health systems, and stress relief work.
What is Reiki? Also known as the Usui Method of Natural Healing for its Japanese founder, Dr. Mikao Usui, Reiki is hand-on healing and stress relief that works on every level of your being. A Reiki session treats your organs, glands, and energy centers of the body, and when used regularly can help strengthen your immune system, increase your energy levels, promote relaxation and stress relief, and alleviate chronic health conditions.
Put this in your beauty file: Reiki can encourage a healthy visage like no moisturizer out there, a great thing for women who want the best for their skin. (Reiki is so relaxing that it would be hard not to look better after a treatment!) Years ago, the first woman practitioner at the highest level, Mrs. Hawayo Takata, remarked that you would not age once you became a Reiki Master Level Practitioner, and she looked about sixty when she passed at the age of eighty. The Reiki Method of Natural Healing can also help ease other skin conditions like blemishes, plaque psoriasis, dry skin, poison ivy, and sunburn.
Let's face it, women need an extra measure of stress relief, particularly those who are married (Note that in the APA study, 33% of married women as opposed to 22% of single women report living in a great deal of stress). Women typically put themselves last and our health and well-being suffer as a result.
Imagine how we could transform our relationships, increase our energy, feel better, and stop running ourselves ragged if we would just use the Reiki Method of Natural Stress and Pain Relief. Imagine still getting carded at the age of forty! Imagine getting through the day with a smile… because you know you haven't internalized anyone else's stress. Isn't that a great dream? Now go out and make it happen with the Reiki Method of Natural Healing.
