Grief is a powerful emotion that can often feel overwhelming. It can be caused by the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or any other significant loss. Grief can also be a reaction to a traumatic event, such as war, natural disaster, or sexual assault.
While grief is a natural and normal response to loss, it can sometimes lead to serious mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you are struggling to cope with grief, you may be looking for ways to ease your pain.
One treatment that is gaining popularity is drumming. Drumming is an ancient healing practice that has been used for centuries by cultures all over the world. It is a simple and effective way to connect with the present moment and release trauma from the body.

The Scientific Power of Drumming
Research has shown that drumming can have a positive impact on mental and physical health. Drumming can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also help to improve sleep, boost the immune system, and increase energy levels. In one study, participants who underwent drumming therapy reported feeling more positive and had less anxiety and depression. Drumming can also help to reduce stress hormones, such as cortisol. Cortisol is a hormone that is released in response to stress. It is also known as the “stress hormone” because it can hurt the body. High levels of cortisol can lead to weight gain, high blood pressure, and a weaken immune system. Drumming can also help to release endorphins. Endorphins are hormones that are released by the brain in response to pain. They are also known as “happy hormones” because they can produce feelings of pleasure and euphoria. Endorphins can also help to improve mood, reduce stress, and boost immunity. In one study, cancer patients who underwent drumming therapy reported less pain, fatigue, and anxiety. They also had lower levels of cortisol. So, what is the science behind the power of drumming? Drumming can help to reduce stress and anxiety by altering the brainwaves. Brainwaves are electrical signals that are produced by the brain. There are four main types of brainwaves: beta, alpha, theta, and delta. Beta waves are associated with anxiety and stress. Alpha waves are associated with relaxation. Theta waves are associated with meditation and deep sleep. Delta waves are associated with healing. Drumming can help to shift the brainwaves from beta to alpha, and even theta. This can help to promote relaxation and a sense of well-being. Drumming can also help to release endorphins and reduce cortisol levels. This can help to improve mood, reduce pain, and boost immunity.

You can also vary the intensity of your taps. As you are tapping the drum, focus on your breath. Allow your mind to focus on the present moment. If your mind begins to wander, gently bring it back to your breath and the sound of the drum. Continue to tap the drum for 5-10 minutes. When you are finished, sit for a few moments and notice how you feel. Drumming is a simple and effective way to connect with the present moment and release trauma from the body. It is also a great way to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. So, if you are struggling with grief or trauma, give drumming a try!
Reiki Jin Kei Do (RJKD) is a modernized version of the traditional Reiki practice. ‘Reiki Jin Kei Do’ roughly translates to The Way/Practice (Do) of Compassion (Jin) and Wisdom (Kei) through Universal (Rei) Life-Force Energy (Ki).
It all began in Japan in the early 20th century when RJKD founder Mikao Usui created a system that was essentially comprised of various energy-based spiritual healing methods; however, it was not considered an ‘energy therapy.’
Later, Usui taught his system to Dr. Chujiro Hayashi who expanded the RJKD foundation and regarded it as an energy therapy, though Usui considered that to be a misrepresentation of what RJKD truly is.
Today, RJKD is a secular life tool that is practiced throughout the world as a way of exploring personal development and a deeper life experience.
How is Reiki Used for Personal Development?
Reiki Jin Kei Do is inherently a therapeutic practice. One of the goals of RJKD is to reach a state of enlightenment or spiritual awakening through meditation, either by oneself or with the assistance of a Reiki guide. The practice is meant to be used as a tool for understanding life, ourselves, and using ourselves to support others.
Reiki Jin Kei Do helps us deepen the compassion we feel for ourselves and others. Practitioners learn how to treat themselves with more patience, kindness, and love. In turn, they radiate this positive energy toward all things that they encounter in life. Reiki is a guide toward a more aligned life.
What are the Benefits of Reiki ?
Reiki helps us unlearn many of the things that we are conditioned to believe are true – things about ourselves, about others, and about the world. This unlearning begins by first making you aware that the conditioning exists and what your personal conditioning manifests as. From there, we will begin to break down the negative aspects of your conditionings to make room for more positivity than ever before.
This intense self-reflection will help you live a more intentional and authentic life. When you are aware of your thought processes, you can actively work to correct them when they become destructive or negative. On the other hand, you can lean into your positive thought processes and allow them to carry you through to the life you’ve always been meant to live.
One you have done this work on yourself and your energy, it will begin to express itself outwardly as compassion and unconditional love for others.
Practice with a Reiki Practitioner
Experienced Reiki Jin Kei Do Practitioners introduce additional layers of holistic healing to their Reiki sessions by using sound therapy instruments such as gongs, tuning forks, or hand pans. These layers all combine to create a healing session that targets the mind, body, and soul.

There are many ways to relax and unwind, but not all of them are effective for everyone. Some people find that aromatherapy helps to soothe their nerves, while others find that Reiki is more effective for them. The good news is that you don’t have to choose between the two! Reiki and aromatherapy are the perfect combos for relaxation.
Reiki is a life force energy that is in every living thing. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a “universal energy” is said to be transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient to encourage emotional or physical healing.
Aromatherapy, on the other hand, is the practice of using essential oils to promote physical and psychological well-being. Aromatherapy can be used in several ways, such as through diffusers, massages, or baths.
So, why not combine the two for the ultimate relaxation experience? Keep reading to learn more about how Reiki and aromatherapy can work together

Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which they are said to transfer this universal energy to the patient. The idea is that this will help to encourage emotional or physical healing.

For example, some essential oils are said to have a calming effect, while others may boost energy levels.
