Reiki for children and babies is a gentle, non-invasive energy healing practice that can help promote relaxation, emotional balance and overall well-being for children and babies. If you’re considering Reiki for your little one, here’s what you can expect during a session:

A Calm and Comfortable Environment

The session takes place in a peaceful, nurturing space designed to help your child feel safe and relaxed. Whether your baby is in your arms or your child is sitting or lying comfortably, the treatment is tailored to their needs and comfort level.

Parental Involvement

As a parent, you are welcome to hold your child during the Reiki treatment. This can help your little one feel secure and at ease. There’s no need for your child to lie down on a treatment couch unless they are comfortable doing so. The session is flexible and adapts to your child’s preferences.

Gentle and Soothing Energy Healing

The Reiki practitioner will gently channel healing energy to your child, either through light touch or by holding their hands slightly above the body. For babies, the treatment is especially gentle, often involving soft hand placements or energy work while they are held by a parent.

Session Duration

A Reiki session for children and babies typically lasts around 30 minutes. This shorter duration is ideal for young ones, as it aligns with their attention spans and energy levels.

Benefits of Reiki for Children and Babies

Reiki can help:

• Promote relaxation and reduce stress or anxiety

• Improve sleep patterns
• Enhance overall well-being
• Soothe colic

After the Session

After the treatment, your child may feel calm, relaxed, or even a little sleepy. Some children may show an immediate shift in mood or energy, while others may experience subtle changes over time. Every child responds differently and Reiki works in harmony with their unique needs.
