Optimizing the immune system through the practice of Reiki

The human immune system does not occupy areas as clearly defined as other systems in the body such as the respiratory, digestive, etc.

It is more a matter of optimized and synchronized functioning of different parts of the body. It is known to be largely related to the digestive system. Seventy percent of the immune cells are found in the gut, which starts in the mouth and ends in the bottom.

The immune system is involved both in preventing, barriers such as skin, tears and acids helps to keep foreign substances out, and in fighting invaders who break these barriers.

♡ Ideas for maintaining an optimal immune system:

Clearly, the best way to support your immune system is to gain a healthy lifestyle.

Nowadays it is a great challenge to achieve this. This is where Reiki practice comes into play.

The practice of Reiki requires very little effort and evokes a balanced, self-healing response from within your body.

This means that even when an unusual, prolonged stressor occurs, such as pandemics (or more frequent stressors, such as surgery or accidents), you are more likely to be and stay balanced and healthy, or recover faster by practicing daily Reiki self-treatment or by receiving constant Reiki sessions from a friend or professional Reiki therapist.

Briefly about the immune system:

The immune system has two main parts: innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the first to respond. His response is immediate and nonspecific, attacking any foreign substance.

Your adaptive immune system reacts after that. Learn more about the invader and target pathogens with specific, complex strategies.

It is also responsible for balancing the inflammatory response so that you do not suffer from excessive inflammation, the most serious of which, a cytokine storm, can be fatal.

And the adaptive immune system can confer long-term immunity or at least help you be better prepared to deal with a repeated pathogen.

Signs that the immune system is activated:

How do you know your immune system is working? Redness, swelling and / or heat or fever are common signs of the immune system working. And there is another important indication that you might ignore.

Have you ever felt tired for no apparent reason? This fatigue could be a sign that the immune system is engaged.

If so, instead of forcing yourself to work against the body because you have something important to do, it would be wiser to prioritize rest, helping your immune system to do its job. This is also a good time to practice Reiki self-treatment more.

If you support your immune system when it is overworked, you may be able to avoid getting sick or at least having a milder illness.

The pandemic has shown the difference that good health can make in an individual's ability to fight pathogens.

Infected people have a wide range of experiences, from no symptoms to illness so severe that they need to be hospitalized. Although there may be many reasons for this, the host's immunity plays an important role.

What affects immunity?

Today there are many challenges in maintaining an effective immune system.

Let's look at some of the ones you can control. For example, the way you feel, your psychospiritual state, affects your immune system. That's because your psychospiritual state has biochemical correlations in your body.

If you are stressed, your body releases stress hormones, including cortisol, which suppress immunity. Sustained high levels of cortisol contribute to insomnia and encourage the body to maintain fat.

Reiki practice helps you to be calm and quiet, which supports the balanced functioning of your immune system. And by reducing basic stress every day, daily practice of Reiki self-treatment helps you stay balanced throughout the day. This makes the difference between responding to a challenge creatively and successfully, or reacting and making the situation worse.

Awareness of gratitude is good for your immune system. Likewise, experiencing kindness towards others, beneficial thinking towards others.

After our Reiki sessions, participants often express their feelings of gratitude. It helps us to realize deeply that we are not alone in this universe.

Reiki and the immune system

The way you live your life, your daily habits, affects your immunity. Do you have a reasonable daily schedule, do you sleep well? Improved sleep is a common response to Reiki practice.

You move enough - walking, dancing, yoga, cycling, running, even stretching several times a day make all the difference. When you feel good, when you are not anxious and overwhelmed, when you are not in pain, you are more likely to move.

Everything you eat and your ability to digest affects your immune system. Have you noticed various sounds that are heard from the abdomen or increased salivation when practicing Reiki self-treatment? This is your activated digestive system.

It is not a good idea to simply stimulate the activity of the immune system

While people often talk about stimulating the immune system, it is not always better to do more. You want a balanced immune system that is part of overall health, not an inadequate immune response, not an uncontrolled immune response (as in the cytokine storm) and not an inadequate immune response.

Therefore, it is a good idea to use whole botanical immune supports (turmeric instead of curcumin). While turmeric and other herbs are said to be anti-inflammatory, they are really balanced. They help the body deal with inflammation, rather than directly attacking it, as a medicine would.

Balance is a primary value in traditional natural health care. Every day, we want to help the body restore balance so that it can digest, detoxify and self-heal.

Natural immunity is complex and fluid, and the reality is that the immune system is linked to overall health and well-being and you can do a lot to keep your immune system optimized, starting with practicing Reiki self-treatment. When you practice Reiki, you feel better, you function better and you make better choices, which helps you stay happy and healthy. It's that simple.
