You may be asking yourself…
Why can’t I get pregnant?
Am I eating well enough?
How much weight have I gained?
Why can’t I sleep?
When and where will I be when I go into labor?
Is the baby OK?
Why are strangers touching my stomach?

Reiki helps the mothers and their babies, throughout pregnancy and during birth, with universal love and healing. It is the best way of healing, as all you have to do is to put your hands on yourself and pass on all your love to your unborn baby.
Reiki provides a unique opportunity, for the father-to-be as he can bond with his baby in the mother's womb. It also helps in building a strong and spiritual relationship before this tiny new being enters the world. Reiki can help an expectant mother in many ways with the miracle of carrying another human being inside her and passing on life.
If Reiki is practiced in the early days of the pregnancy, it helps reduce exhaustion and nausea. It also brings relief to every part of a stretched and aching body at various points up, until and including the birth itself.
Reiki also helps to calm fear of the unknown and soothes a woman who feels invaded and impatient to give birth. Reiki has the power to make a baby wriggle with pleasure in the womb, and also has a calming effect on both the mother and the child.
Reiki can be given, to both the mother and the baby, throughout pregnancy and at birth itself, if you or your partner practices it. When the time to give birth arrives, Reiki helps to ease the pain and creates a peaceful atmosphere for the baby.
If you are attuned, you can give your baby Reiki whenever you hold and nurse it. Give yourself plenty of Reiki, which will help your body to maintain its natural, chemical and physiological balance.
Reiki is a wonderful gift to expectant mothers and their babies. In early pregnancy it can reduce many of the common discomforts such as exhaustion and nausea, ease stress, and promote relaxation. Throughout pregnancy, Reiki can provide relief as the mother's body grows and changes, and can address issues such as lower back pain, tension in the neck and shoulders, and insomnia. On a mental and emotional level, Reiki can ease anxiety and fear in a woman who is unsure of herself and her body as childbirth approaches or who worries about motherhood. Relieved of some of the physical and emotional discomforts of pregnancy, the expectant mom will sleep more soundly and feel more relaxed, positive and connected with her baby.
How does it affect babies?
________________________________________
Reiki is also highly beneficial for babies. They are in tune with the loving energy flowing through their mothers. Growing babies have many needs and it is just as important that their energy be balanced. Connected to their mother's thoughts, moods, and emotions, babies feel the sense of calmness and peace created by Reiki. What a wonderful way for mom and baby to bond!
Can Reiki be used during labor?
________________________________________
During labor, Reiki is effective in easing pain and creating a peaceful atmosphere for mom and the baby. Reiki can ease muscular tension, lower blood pressure, aid in relaxation and energy conservation, help mom to focus on breathing, and provide a safe, non-invasive form of pain relief.
What about after the baby is born?
________________________________________
Once the baby has arrived, Reiki can assist mom with physical healing and also help her regain balance in her transition from pregnancy into motherhood. Nurturing mom with Reiki helps her nurture her infant and also affirms the importance of her continuing need for self-care as she steps into a new phase of life.
