Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
Reiki is wonderful for people of all ages including babies and toddlers.Babies respond more quickly to Reiki than grown-ups do because they are open and have not yet put up any barriers. Reiki can help assist with colic and teething, which in turn usually means the baby sleeps better, cries less and is generally happier in themselves
When babies are unsettled, Reiki may soothe them. When babies are struggling to sleep, Reiki may relax them, and they may drift off to sleep more easily. When babies are in pain from colic, Reiki may help ease their suffering.
Baby massage is very popular at the moment. But some babies don’t like being undressed! Reiki is wonderful for babies who don’t like to be naked, as its energy passes through clothing. With Reiki, all you need do is activate your Reiki hands, cuddle your baby as you normally would, and the healing energy will flow through to them.
With babies, it is essential that your touch is light. Follow the sensation in your hands as to hand placement. Or if you prefer a more formal practice you might like to lay your baby on a safe and comfortable surface, and place one of your hands on your baby’s head and the other on their torso. You may find that your baby doesn’t need a lot of Reiki. A few moments to a few minutes may be all they need. Let your Reiki hands and your intuition guide you.
The major difference is time allotted to a younger Reiki recipient. A full session for a child will be brief in comparison to a Reiki session given to an adult. Whereas a Reiki session given to an adult normally lasts 60 to 90 minutes or even longer, a child will absorb Reiki so much faster.
Children, in general are Reiki sponges, extremely receptive to soaking up the balancing energies. Young children generally do not have emotional defenses inside them that adults often do. Blockages and imbalances slow the flow of Reiki energies... and normally children's energies are less incumbered by energy block.
A toddler's body is significantly smaller in comparison to an adult body, so the practitioner will have less area to cover in their hand placements.
When giving toddlers Reiki take cues from the children themselves. Either through their words or their actions you will be given inclinations when the time is right to end the session. They may speak "all done" when they ARE all done. OR, you will notice that they are getting restless or anxious when
they have absorbed enough energies. 10 to 15 minutes is all that will be needed.
